Vintage Farmhouse Decor in a Mobile Home

Vintage farmhouse decor in a mobile home is a popular style but it isn’t always easy to pull it off. It takes a combination of antiques, repurposing, and DIY crafting to create authenticity. Lisa, from Sweet Tea n’ Salty Air, had no problem, though.  She completely transformed her mobile home into a vintage farmhouse work of art.

Lisa Grieco-Conforto, of Naples, Florida, lives in a 50-year-old mobile home that she inherited from her parents. It is nestled in a well-kept neighborhood where everyone owns their own land and is located just a stone’s throw from the Florida Everglades.

Lisa is definitely a creator. In addition to crafting and decorating, she is the author of several children’s books. She also shares gardening and cooking tips on her blog. She describes her blog perfectly:

Vintage Farm House style decorating and repurposing on a dime, thrifty and delicious recipes,  lots of crafting, gardening and much more thrifty do’s. Follow along without having to purchase expensive items to decorate your homes.

Vintage Farmhouse Decor in a Mobile Home Kitchen

One of Lisa’s favorite projects was her kitchen makeover.

Lisa is an avid baker with fond memories of helping her grandmothers in the kitchen. It was important for her to incorporate her grandmother’s items that she inherited through the years.

It’s not easy combining a handmade vintage farmhouse style with modern kitchen appliances and amenities but Lisa pulled it off wonderfully!

 

Discarded Utility Wagon becomes a Wall Display

Since space was an issue, Lisa put her kitchen walls to good use. She found two old metal farm wagons that a neighbor was trashing and repurposed them into rustic wire displays that hold her grandmother’s handwritten recipe cards.

Entertainment Center Becomes Baking Center

We have all seen those entertainment centers that have the doors that close in the tv right?

To create additional storage in her lovely kitchen, Lisa bought a wood entertainment center (or armoire) at the local thrift store for $20. She gave it a vintage farmhouse makeover and turned it into a stylish baking center. Desert and coffee are always close at hand!

The Power of Paint (and duct tape)

Lisa put her amazing creativity to good use in the guest bathroom. It started out as a drab brown space with no personality but it didn’t stay like that long. The bathroom is now a much livelier mix of country white and a charming greenish-blue color called Montego Bay.

Painting was just the beginning of this amazing mobile home bathroom makeover. Using a painting technique and a tool she developed herself,  Lisa made the bottom half of the walls look just like bead board.

You can read about her technique here. Lisa then used three different colors of paint on Duct tape to create a faux wood trim for a visual divide between the country white painted bead board and the blue.

She may have used duct tape but there’s nothing tacky about this bathroom makeover!
