Dirt Road Adventures – Entertaining in the Country

Welcome to Dirt Road Adventure where I take a look back out all things happening at the end of the Dirt Road. You’ll see some behind the scenes of how we entertain in the country and “in case you missed it” on the blog last week.

In addition, I’m sharing some of my favorite finds from around the web which include DIY Projects, Repurposing and Fall Decorating ideas.

Entertaining in the Country

We had so much fun setting up for our Supper Club Series this past week. I’ll be sharing all the details next Thursday on How To Create A Country Garden Party Table Setting.

However, today I wanted to share some behind the scenes of the location we chose for the country garden party.

Entertaining in the Country is a favorite Dirt Road Adventure.

I just love an old farmhouse and knew this was the perfect spot for a dinner party. The farmhouse has been unoccupied for years, however the grounds are perfectly maintained with a beautiful lawn. Perfect for entertaining in the country.

The rustic charm of the weathered wood siding and stacked rock foundation would be the perfect backdrop for our party.

Be sure to check back on Thursday to see the full set up.

We often walk by the house which is located next to our property and I love to imagine what life was like without running water and all our modern conveniences.

Well, maybe not the electricity! LOL

There’s a barn, a well, and a couple other structures still standing next to the farmhouse.

The stacked rock fireplace chimney captured my attention years ago and one of my first paintings was of the old house and chimney.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

In Case You Missed It

Y’all know I love budget friendly projects and How to Make Sweet Gum Balls Fall Crafts is an almost free way to decorate for fall. You can see the video tutorial as well.

Another inexpensive craft project is this Fall Wreath made using recycled tin cans and Dollar Tree Flowers.

How to Use Thrifted Vintage Garden Decor is another edition of our Thrifting With the Gals monthly series.

Finally I shared an early fall tour of the DIY Greenhouse using Sunflower Decorating Ideas.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

What’s in my cart

This past week I’ve been gearing up for more fall decorating and placed a few items in my cart. Most are on their way to my doorstep and I thought I’d share a few of my finds with you.

These Burnt Orange Pillow Covers for my Living Room.

I have plans for these cute mini pumpkins and gourds this week.

I learned why my hair was looking brassy. Turns out well water isn’t the best for blonde hair and I was advised to order this purple shampoo to tone down the brassy look. I’m loving it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I look forward to sharing a trending cocktail recipe, a fall centerpiece idea, our Country Garden Party Supper Club table and menu with you this week. So stay tuned.
