Melodie's Little Farmhouse
A few years ago,
Melodie and her husband set a goal to become debt free.
They sold their site built home for a nice profit and
paid cash for this 1995 Double Wide Mobile Home.
As you'll see over the next few days,
they are extremely creative and have added farmhouse
style to every inch of this home.
Today, I'm sharing their Beautiful
Dining Room
I love the simplicity ... it's timeless.
The couple built their harvest table
about five years ago using materials from Lowes.
She said, "it's been ultra durable ... like no other".
Melodie's candlestick collection - beautifully displayed.
I love the old window panes hanging in the windows.
Can you imagine this room set up for Thanksgiving dinner?
I sure can.
The real charm of this room comes from
the time-worn pieces Melodie has picked up
at salvage yards, garage sales, thrift stores etc.
Dining Chairs
$20.00 each at a junk store
(She cleaned, stained & upholstered them)
Upholstered Chairs
$10.00 each at a garage sale
(She cleaned, painted & recovered them)
The Church Pew
came from an individual
(She has two - the other one is on her porch)
The Green Hutch
came from the Salvation Army.
(She painted it and added the darling knobs)
Dishes
The hutch houses the dishes Melodie has collected over
the years, again from garage sales, thrift stores ... etc.
Melodie's Farmhouse Home Tour
The Dining Room is only the beginning...
there is so much more to see, so be watching for updates.
Melodie says they are very proud of this home and feel blessed
that they don't owe the bank ... it belongs to them.

Wow! Absolutely stunning and the porch is inviting! Looking forward to future pictures! I can just imagine decorating it for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI know! Isn't it wonderful! Maybe we can persuade her to share her Christmas decor with us. :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful remodel! Absolutely amazing. If I could pick my favorite thing it would be the windows.
ReplyDeleteOr the table.
Or the chairs.
Oh, never mind. It's too hard to choose.
Looking forward to the next posting!
I know, Carla! I couldn't help but think of you when I saw her floors ... know you and Joe have thought about something similar. Her house is amazing, for sure!
DeleteWow! This home is absolutely stunning! Sounds like she feels the same way I do...I'll gladly live in my mobile home to be mortgage free! :)
ReplyDeleteI know Melodie and her husband so it's exciting to see their home featured on this site. I have witnessed the hours of dedicated labor they have invested in their humble and charming home. They are such a great couple too, so talented, innovative, lively, fun and great neighbors. Congrats to you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Patti .... What a blessing to have Melodie and Steve as your neighbors. Even though she and I have only communicated by email, I feel like we are kindred spirits. It's good to hear from someone who actually knows this super talented couple. Thank You, again!
DeleteHi Geneva, love that talented Melody. All very ver y classy. My favorite is that wonderful green hutch
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I loved the floor. The whole room is lovely and has so many great elements. Job well done. I look forward to seeing the rest of the house.
ReplyDeleteThe porch is really nice too!
Thanks for sharing ~ FlowerLady
What a charming dining room, Geneva. I really like the painting with the red flowers. And that green hutch is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these pictures with us. It looks like a welcoming home.
love, ~Sheri
The dining room is just lovely and such a great size,too. Like I said before-you would never believe this is a mobile home. I also love the exterior. They have done a great job with everything. LOVE it!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteps.IF you have time pop over and sign up for the giveaway for my son's newest venture.
I love seeing other people's manufactured homes decorated in farmhouse style. This one is beautiful!! We also live in one and my goal is that once people step foot inside they completely forget the fact that it's a mobile home. I'm getting there...little by little. : )
ReplyDeleteMelodie is certainly an inspiration to all of us who enjoy the "Farmhouse" style. I'm heading over to your blog to see your home...feeling excited! xo
DeleteHow pretty this is. They have done a wonderful job adapting the space to this lovely dining room. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteLove her style! A lot of people think that mobile homes are just a trailer. Not so! My mom and dad bought one after dad retired and it was gorgeous. Her style was more fancy, but Melodies style is simply gorgeous! Love, love that table and her other collected pieces. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
