Is Your Home Plain?

Where Do I Start?

Tired Of Wasting $$$$$

Who Am I?
I am Nicole Francis! When we brought Little Miss home from the hospital, Michael and I quickly realized that we were bursting at the seams of our house. Having Hazel (dog), Lucy (cat), and lots of baby paraphernalia made our tiny house feel even smaller. We started looking for our next “Home Sweet Home” and we quickly realized that what we wanted we wouldn’t be able to get in our area.
So since we knew we could tackle small-scale DIY projects in our last builder-grade home, we decided to do it again, just on a much BIGGER scale, and with that, 1776 Faux Farmhouse started!

Did you know that one of the biggest reasons I built this sideboard back in 2021 was because my husband said I couldn’t?!
That’s right…! My biggest supporter in every aspect of my life said “ I don’t think you can” and that was all the fuel I needed to make it happen.
So when someone, even your significant other, says you can’t, you make it happen and shock ‘em! And if you want to do an “I told you so” double fist bump salute, you do that boo!

After three attempts, I was a bit worried…. BUT
I learned SO much and I learned most importantly what you should do the first time so that you don’t have to have a repeat of me.
And to answer your questions, yes I’m so glad I did this and no, it didn’t only last a day. A year later it still looks factory made!
Glad I proved myself wrong 😏

Art TV HACK ✨
After posting my fireplace in stories yesterday, I had so many messages about the art that was displayed. So here’s how you can get the same thing, even without a Frame TV!
•Go to the YouTube App on your TV
•Type in “Vintage Art TV”
•Choose a selection
It’s really that simple! Make sure to save this video for later!

Y’all need this in your life!!
I’m here to tell you, it’s worth every. single. penny. I don’t know about you but that noise feels like nails on a chalkboard to me, which meant that I would only use my mixer when it was absolutely necessary. Now that that awful noise is gone, look out world! Nicole’s baking again, and just in time for the holidays too! 🎉
EDIT: if you want the link, head to my product links highlight bubble! The link will be there for you!

What a difference a fireplace makes…
Can you believe this all started because of the Ignitexl Bold Built-in Linear Electric Fireplace from @dimplex_northamerica?!
Yeah, I’m speechless too! I don’t think I’ve ever loved a transformation more. It was definitely worth the wait.
So what do you think?
