Antique Farmhouse Bedroom Tour | Red Land Cotton

August 23, 2019 · In: family, Farmhouse, homemaking, videos

When we first moved into our home, I had no idea what my style was. But over the years I’ve come to learn that, naturally, farmhouse style is my style. So we recently re-did our bedroom and turned it into an antique farmhouse bedroom. We are lovers of all things old and antique, so it was only natural for us to combine our two styles into one!

From the antique dresser and wash stand, to the brand new Red Land Cotton bedding mirrored after the 1920s, our room is ready to be toured! If you want to see it more in depth, watch the video at the end of this blog.

My husband is my most favorite person ever. Not just because he’s my husband and he brings me coffee and donuts when I’ve had a long day covered in baby spit up. Or because he is just super awesome and handsome. But also because he brings me antique treasures that other people just toss to the side.

We knew we wanted our bedroom to be minimalistic and simple. But we also knew we wanted antique pieces in there.

Be sure to check out the special DISCOUNT CODE for Red Land Cotton bedding at the end of this blog post!

The first antique farmhouse bedroom piece we found was a beautiful tiger wood dresser. More than likely out of the 1940s or so, this dresser is my favorite piece out of all the pieces. It also holds my very purged lot of clothes. I had to purge a lot to get everything to fit into here!

Confession, though. I still have some clothes in the baby’s dresser.

You can hear more about the individual stories behind these pieces by watching the video below. Or by clicking here.

The next antique farmhouse bedroom piece is this regal secretary desk. It’s efficiently used as a statement piece with some of my favorite old books. But it also became home to our deodorants, lotions, and business items.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t in love with this piece when he brought it home, but it fits absolutely perfectly in this space.

The final antique farmhouse bedroom piece isn’t pictured here, because, well, I was too lazy to photograph it when I realized I didn’t have a picture…amen. But you’ll have to take my word for it that it’s a gorgeously simple wash stand. Because, what antique farmhouse bedroom didn’t have a wash stand?! I do need to find a pitcher and wash basin for it still.

Let’s get real though, we all know that the main part of a farmhouse bedroom is the bed and bedding. Bedding in a bedroom pulls everything together, because it is the main focus of any bedroom space. Because of this, it was important for me to not only have something American made, but also a product that supports another farm family.

As I researched I found that Red Land Cotton is an American made company owned by a beautiful farming family. They grow their own cotton and make their own linens right in the good ol’ state of Alabama. Not only are their products American made and of quality, they are also some of the softest linens you’ll find.

The ticking duvet cover was incredibly easy to fill. In fact, I was wearing our (then) 6 week old while putting our bedding on. He quite loves the bedding as well. It’s the place we wake up in the morning for the first snuggles and nursing of the day. Knowing that he’s laying on bedding that is from farm to home really makes it all the more special.

Red Land Cotton’s sheets are so amazingly soft. I was concerned they might be scratchy since they came out of the package very stiff, but after a good wash, they are the softest sheets we own. I especially appreciate that they are a natural color–no dyes or artificial ingredients. Just beautiful, pure cotton.

CLICK HERE and use code FEWELLHOMESTEAD20 to receive a 20% discount on your order at Red Land Cotton!

From a bed sheet passed down from the 1920s, Red Land Cotton reverse engineered the original weave construction and yarn size to bring you linens that are truly heirloom-inspired.

Their bed sheets are unlike anything that is currently on the market. Not only are they exclusively a farm-to-home offering, but these linens are heirloom pieces, entitled to the same reverence that bed linens of yesteryear were due. Their bed linens are recreations of the bed linens of our ancestors from almost a century ago.

This was the selling point for me. Talk about antique farmhouse bedroom–I was sold!

The headline sounds revolutionary: “Trump Signs Or The headline sounds revolutionary: “Trump Signs Order to Help Ranchers Bypass USDA-Inspected Processing Facilities.”

But what does the executive order actually do?

It directs the USDA to:

• Investigate unfair or monopolistic practices in the meatpacking industry.

• Review regulations and remove unnecessary reporting and overly prescriptive inspection requirements where current law allows.

• Expand cooperative inspection programs that let qualifying state-inspected processors sell meat across state lines.

• Provide training and technical assistance to small processors.

• Help farmers locate slaughter and processing options.

• Work toward a guaranteed-loan program for small and regional processors.

• Report within 60 days on the laws preventing state-inspected or custom-exempt meat from entering interstate commerce.

These may be worthwhile steps, or not. Processing consolidation has left family farmers with fewer choices, longer wait times, higher costs, and less control over the food they raise.

But here is the important part:

This order does NOT immediately give farmers a new legal right to butcher their livestock and sell that meat directly to consumers, especially across state lines. It does not eliminate federal inspection requirements or make custom-exempt meat legal for interstate commerce.

The order repeatedly states that USDA must act “consistent with applicable law.” An executive order can direct an agency to use authority it already has, but it cannot erase or rewrite federal statutes.

For lasting change, Congress must pass laws creating a clear, lawful path for family farmers and small processors to feed their communities. We’ve said this before—we aren’t fixing this in 4 years without a miracle—pass the Farm Bill!

A farmer selling meat directly to an informed neighbor is not the same as an industrial corporation distributing millions of pounds through a national supply chain. Our laws should recognize that difference.

This order may open a door and identify the barriers. But it does not finish the work.

Executive action may begin the conversation.

LEGISLATION is what can make the change real, durable, and firmly rooted.
There is something that happens when someone passe There is something that happens when someone passes away and they were impactful in, or upon, your life. As you sit with the thought that the breath of life—the space—that this person had in this world no longer exists, you find you want to be a little more like them in your own space. 

When my grandmother died, I wanted to remember all the best things about her. Her unconditional kindness. Her ability to remain calm. How she would sing and pray all the time in her home. I haven’t even remotely attained those character traits yet, but I’m getting there.

You think of someone like the great agrarian and writer, Wendell Berry. His convictions drove him to do and write in a certain way. He didn’t just talk about what he believed—he did it. And it makes my convictions stronger as I think about what he stood for, how he wrote, and how he lived.

The pattern is that when someone you love, or who greatly inspired you, leaves this earth—you begin to realize that you want to become someone who fills the void of their goodness within the earth. They must not be forgotten. Convictions grow stronger. Changes are made. Others are inspired.

And in pondering this, I thought to myself—this must be how the disciples felt when Jesus died. And it broke me. 

I have never seen my Savior or LORD face to face. I did not walk with Him as the dirt dusted our feet along a journey to a new city that would come to know His greatness. I never sat with Him personally, shoulder to shoulder, to be mentored. I don’t know how He wrote letters or notes. But upon the history written in scripture, I know Him.

And I think this is exactly how his friends and disciples felt after He died. And of course in His case, He rose again. 

Within each one of them, it was as if a fire were shut up inside of them. They did not have to be convinced of conviction and to act upon it. They loved Him so much that when they thought of Him, they lived better. They filled the void that was left. They told everyone about Him, and they wanted them to fill the void too.

Do I love Him this way? Do I miss my Lord so much that I want to take His place until He returns? This is the way—this is the que
He was one of the most brilliant writers in the wo He was one of the most brilliant writers in the world. A true agrarian heart with wisdom that surpasses so much of this current generation. I recommend every book he has written, especially The Unsettling of America. 

We used his “Peace of Wild Things” poem on one of our @homesteadersofamerica tshirts one year. It feels appropriate to share it again now. 

“When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives might be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief.  I come into the presence  of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
 
From The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry (Counterpoint, 1999)

May he be resting in peace, even now.
There is a question I believe modern homesteaders There is a question I believe modern homesteaders need to start asking:

“Are we moving because God told us to move—or because fear told us to run?”

Historically, governments have displaced, relocated, incentivized, and concentrated populations for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes by force. Sometimes through policy. Sometimes under the banner of “progress,” “safety,” or the greater good.

My own family was affected by this one-hundred years ago when hundreds of families (2,000+ people) were removed from the mountains of Virginia to create Shenandoah National Park. These were farmers, families, churches, and communities. People who knew how to grow food, steward land, raise children, and live largely independent of government systems.
And now, nearly 100 years later, I find myself watching another migration.

Homesteaders are leaving states they believe no longer represent their values. They’re moving toward states considered more conservative, more rural, more affordable, or more “free.”

And I know that for many, God really IS moving them.
But we still need discernment. Because politics can change overnight.

Governors change. Legislatures change. Laws change. The “safe state” today may not be the safe state tomorrow.
So what happens then? Do we pack up and move again?
There comes a point when we have to ask:
“Has God called me to leave—or has He called me to stand?”

If God tells you to move to Texas, go to Texas.
If He tells you to move to New York, go to New York.

Because ultimately, our security was never supposed to be found in a red state, a blue state, a rural county, or a particular zip code.

Our safety is in the hand of Yahweh.

Sometimes obedience means going, sometimes obedience means staying.

But what if, maybe, some of this is all just the government herding people like sheep into certain locations?

Our last two babies have been intense. Meaning—the Our last two babies have been intense. Meaning—they are non-stop and never sleep. Ever. I was awake all night last night, and maybe got an hour of sleep. This is nightly. This will be the longest stretch with no sleep, as the older of the two was weaned by now and started transitioning to sleeping on her own at this age.

Is it hard? Yes. Did I almost start crying last night because I was so exhausted physically and mentally? Yes. Did I think about hurting my children? Never. Not once. Not ever. 

The trend that I’m seeing online right now of mothers hurting their children is heart breaking—not for the mother, but for the children. I can sympathize greatly with the stresses of life, but I cannot understand hurting a child…ever. 

Society has a “me” problem. A generation of people who grew up either entitled or as orphans in their own home, and all they can think about is “how can you take care of ME”. They don’t want to face reality like an adult. At some point in adulthood, when we become parents, we don’t get that privilege anymore. We become the nurturer, not always the nurtured.

So when I see the tik tok trend where a mother is pouring water on her screaming 8 month old, and just keeps doing it with the baby distressed, all because she “stands” with a mother who supposedly killed her children, it doesn’t take long for me to realize there’s a demonic agenda sweeping the nation and world right now. Abortion wasn’t good enough—the enemy needs ALL of them dead. And he will make you sympathize with murder and fits of rage in the process.

Women in our society have an idle and idol problem. Idle hands with nothing to do but scroll and compare instead of build a home (her job and role). Idol because we live in a culture that pushes “self” before selflessness. 

The world needs Jesus. 
Younger women need older women. 
Families need to return to the core of the home life.
Husbands and wives need to return to bearing the burden together.

Children are a gift and inheritance—never a burden. Does it mean you’ll be tired? Yes. But it is just a season, friend. And that season passes us by so quickly.
