Find More Farmhouse Inspiration Post Road Vintage Style
Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for joining us...... over a cup of hot tea or coffee. Maybe you’re snuggled up as the cooler days are upon us. Quite honestly, I’ve been in denial over the change of season. Until very recently, I’ve realized how amazing this time is. And that is true in the weather, as well as in my own personal life. It is exciting though to have the heart open for whatever changes may come our way. I am so inspired to make space and time in my home and heart this season. I wish all of these blessings on you also. May you find much inspiration and relaxation within these pages! I am so grateful for you. Warmly,
Hea!er Anderson

We focus on ‘HOME”. We are
inspired by yesterday, farmhouse beauty, simplicity, and the promise of tomorrow. We love to celebrate creativity, home, and family. We believe joy can be found in the simple and small things all around us. Being outdoors, or creating a space which is uniquely your style in your home can have such an impact on one’s spirit. Happiness can mean a warm home, a hot meal, and family and friends all together. Happiness can mean snuggled up with electronics turned off (unless you’re reading this digitally) ;) Happiness is finding inspiration and motivation to actually do or try something new, which may awake a new passion inside. Happiness is home Homebound Magazine was created by Post Road Vintage and began as a free quarterly e-zine. It has since expanded into a full digital and print magazine which is published six times per year..

Where do you turn for inspiration? Perhaps magazines such as this, or online. If you’ve followed this publication, then you probably already know that we are huge fans of Janet Coon and her Shabby Fufu style. (The name of her shop, blog, and business.) Janet’s Florida home is filled with beautiful antiques and french shabby decor. She is an inspiring artist, designer, decorator, and photographer. I am most inspired by her use of flowers throughout her home, especially her dried floral arrangements. Here you can see how easy it is to play up on nature’s natural beauty, and capture some of that in your own home. Loosely styled flowers are best, with a few living branches mixed amongst the dried. Your bouquet will simply get better with time if you embrace the imperfections and the natural cycle of all living things. If the dried flowers haven’t dropped any petals yet, loosely strew some here and there for a much more natural and loved look. This is an excellent way to get a lot of use and enjoyment out of your flowers year round!
R p.10
R p. 11
Of course the usual lavender, hydrangea, and roses are all beautiful dried. But don’t be afraid to experiment with others! I always keep my flower arrangements in the pitcher until they are dried up, just to see if I will be pleasantly surprised. Sometimes I will leave them just as they are to enjoy dried and other times I will take bits and pieces out to tie into neat little bundles like this lovely lavender bunch here.

L N p.16
Living in a place called Rabbit Hill in Normandy, France sounds a mighty picturesque, doesn’t it? Cat Bude, her husband, and lively brood reside here. And it is everything the eyes can see. Cat is in the process of opening an online shop where she will sell her french wares. They also provide guided tours for those wishing to shop the brocantes with their expertise. But even more catching is Cat herself. She is one you just can’t help but to cheer for. A recent transplant from the USA, her journey is fascinating. And I love that she shares the ups and downs, the beauty, the real life, and all things in between. www.SundayBrocantes.com When Cat isn’t busy sourcing beautiful antiques for her shop you can find her in the kitchen or garden. She is an amazing cook, baker, and photographer. Here she shares peaks of her ‘new’ kitchen. It is so beautiful, yet practical at the same time.
I think careful cooking is love. The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who’s close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.

A note from Hea!er
There is nothing like cooler days to entice us to c’mon in and warm up the home with the kitchen oven. In the kitchen it is always great to let the food, and the utilitarian qualities take center stage like Cat has done here. Of course, it is even more fun when it is decked out with such amazing antiques. But this is one room in a home where less can truly be more. Let the food, the fun, and the company be what matters most.
L N p.19
When organizing the kitchen always think about what you use the most and would really love within an arm’s reach. But of course, keep too much within reach and it is easy for things to become lost or appear too cluttered. Cat keeps much of her supplies out in the open with the essentials right there to work with. If you are able to invest in a few nicer cutting boards, stones, and utensils you may find you need less of them, and a bonus is that they are beautiful enough to keep on display. In the kitchen light is a luxury. If you’re able to keep window treatments to a minimum and light or white walls, that is a big help. Most of all make your kitchen a place where you truly love spending time in and you and your family will be blessed for it!
L N p.20
There is so much satisfaction found in good, real, and homemade food. It is truly a gift you give yourself and your loved ones. The luxury of slowing down long enough to create something in your kitchen is a beautiful feeling. Without the ‘rushing’ to get it done it becomes a fully enjoyable experience. If you have loved ones to share your creation with than you count yourself as blessed...... because that is truly what it’s all about!

Sometimes beauty is where we least expect it, and when we open our heart and eyes completely, there it is, right in front of us! I took my camera out one beautiful late summer day in hopes of finding some yummy inspiration. What could be more beautiful than crusty old buildings and worn patina all mixed with nature’s beautiful gifts? My ‘neighborhood’ did not disappoint! So how do we go about capturing the inspiration for future projects or home decorating schemes? My friend Jennifer Borek of Kanna Glass Studios, (kannaglassstudios.blogspot.co m) took these images to her local Sherwin Williams and collected paint chips which coordinated with these pictures. You could also have the experts at the paint shop match them with their precision matchers. I do love the idea of using your eye instead, you get to be a bit partial to the colors which you believe go with the pictures . You could also use your photos to start a mood board, or just keep them tucked in your purse while you’re out shopping.

how to be inspired by the everyday. C Ss p.25
How to pull ‘inspiration from nowhere’? I do believe it is a muscle, the more you use it, the easier and more natural it becomes. But living in this digital world, all of the millions of ideas and inspiration can be overloading and a burden on our minds at times. And we do miss out on something which (I believe) a pinterest board can’t quite take the place of. That is real live paper. Being the sensory person that I am, I need to feel and hold the image for it to fully impact me. And maybe even more importantly, I need to be able to document it, to save it somewhere. This ‘dumping’ of ideas and beauty helps to keep my mind open and clear and ready for future inspiration to take hold!
If you are choosing colors for the walls of your home, always go a few colors up the swatch if you desire a lighter, more farmhouse scheme. Paint always appears darker on the wall than you think it will. Of course if you’re choosing paint for an accent piece, you may want it a bit darker.
C Ss p.26
The main thing to remember is just have fun! It is a journey! And if you truly desire a very farmhouse feel in your decorating remember that it takes time. You will have the best results if if looks ‘collected over time’. So there is truly no rush. Contentment is a beautiful gifts you give yourself and your family when you can love and appreciate your home just as it is, even as you dream of what it may someday be.

TOOL BOX

How do you add style through details in your home? I am more and more drawn to a minimalist look, but who can resist the rustic little touches? A small handmade toolbox is the perfect way to add organization and an easy way to decorate seasonally. Here Sonia Crouse shares how to build a simple toolbox.
Cut list: 2 { 3/4 x 3.5's } cut at 15 inches length for the box length. 2 { 3/4 x 3.5's } cut at 6 1/4 inches length for box sides. 2 {1/4 x 2's } cut at 8 inches length for handle sides. 1 {1 1/4 dowel } cut at 5 3/4 inches for handle. 2 {6/16 x 3 3/4 } cut at 15 inches length for bottom (I recycled pallet strips for bottom)
T Bx p.29
Glue the sides of the box and secure in place using clamps. Drill holes for screws. Then insert 1-‐1/4" screws. Glue the bottom of the sides and attach the bottom strips, drilling pilot holes and then screw in place.
check out Sonia’s gorgeous magazine-‐ CreatingVintageCharm.com
Attach the handle sides using 3/4" screws. Center the dowel on handle sides, glue and attach using 3/4" screws. This size box should fit 8 canning jars in it. Paint or finish as desired. Sonia painted this in grey eggshell mixed with Plaster of Paris. After it dried she covered it with two coats of white. She then sanded for a distressed finish.

rose hip tea
As the warm summer days slowly fade away, bringing cool and cozy fall days, a chill sets over the land. One that makes you crave warm cups of tea by the fire, piles of blankets, and all the comforts that home brings. That's one of my favorite memories of fall -‐ its a season of sensory overload. Cinnamon, apple pies, and wood fireplaces fill the air. Splashes of red, orange, and yellow catch your eye. And wool blankets & crisp air are a delight to the touch. These are just a few things that are simple, but bring so much joy. Joy that can be experienced, but cannot be grasped.

lavendula (lavender) Lavender is one of the most romantic and useful in the cottage garden. Prized for it’s delicious aroma and versatility, it is one of my favorites. But I love it most for it’s dried buds which may be used in all sorts of crafts, body care, and recipes. When planting lavender it is important to choose one which is hardy to your climate. There are many available, but only a few main types. The English (Angustifolia), the French (Intermedias), or the Spanish (Stoechas). In my zone 4-‐5 garden I have found that the Angustifolia varieties are the most hardy. Generally the Intermedias are more susceptible to cold, with the Stoechas being even more fragile. Regardless of your climate, lavender loves heat and dry conditions. Most importantly it loves well draining soil, as it does not like having soggy roots. By pruning lavender right above the woody part in the spring after new growth has started, you will encourage vigor and new growth and suppress the tendency for the plant to become overly woody. I usually do this after the first bloom, as we have a very short growing season and gives more of a chance for a second harvest. You do not want to prune too close to fall if you live in a cold climate. If you live in a cold region and don’t get very much snow you will want to mulch your plants to protect them. (We get tons of snow up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so I skip this step.)

One of my personal favorites of fall season is enjoying warm cups of a wide array of teas. Ever since I was a little girl I was drawn to rose hip and hibiscus tea. To my surprise I've discovered that you can make your own rose hip tea from foraged wild roses. The recipe is easy and the results are delicious with many nutritional benefits. If you were to compare oranges to rose hips you would find that rose hips contain 25% more iron, 20-‐40% more vitamin C and 28% more calcium.
F R Hp T p.35
R Hp T Harvesting rose hips should be done after the first strong frost hits, as they have a much better flavor. Pick the ones that are vivid red and slightly soft. You can harvest in your own garden, but they're more plentiful from old-‐time shrub varieties such as rugosas and wild rose bushes. When you use your foraged rose hips for fresh brewing, remove the hairy seeds and hull. Steep 2 tablespoons of clean rose hips in a cup of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey and enjoy.

There is nothing more satisfying than foraging in the woods for fresh produce. Today it is apples. The breeze is cooling off, but the birds are still chirping as loud as ever. The kids scramble up and shake the branches as the adults and babies wait below to pick all that fall. What an apple scramble! Often the apples from the woods are terribly sour and so tiny. But even these small ones may be mixed in with others for apple sauce, pies, and other desserts and sauces. Anything we don’t use gets fed to the pigs. Soon the weather will turn chilly and cold. Any bit of sunshine beckons us outdoors to breathe in the beauty of the woods, the dirt, and all of their bountiful offerings.

I created this wild natural arrangement from a few apple stems and the last of my garden pickens’. Partially dried sunflowers, and hydrangea add a beautiful and rustic touch to this display. I left it very unruly, but you could easily tame it a bit by taking more of the foliage off. Surrounded by apples for the taking, it truly reminds us how abundant and giving life is. It is hard to believe these were all picked from the yard, and for the most part just doing their own thing, without my care. Even if you don’t have access to woods fresh from the woods, check for a u-‐pick or farm stand in your area.

C C A S You will need: a mess load of apples big stock pot water time Apple Saucer (or food processor)
Wash the apples and place them in your stock pot. (As many as will fit with the lid on). Add about 1/2”-‐1” of water to the bottom. Bring to a boil, simmer on low stirring frequently. When the apples are soft (poke with a fork to check) mash them slightly with a potato masher and put through your processor or saucer.The seeds and pulp should strain right out, wasting nothing. Add cinnamon or sugar. Preserve by freezing or with safe canning procedures. .

Place in stock pot. Add 1/2” water to the bottom. Add rest of ingredients. Bring to boil, turn to low and simmer until soft. Stir frequently. Can using safe canning procedures or simply freeze in freezer size bags. Makes one large pie, or use for icecream toppings, on bread, or in your oatmeal! I am hoping we have a few left at the end of the winter to bring camping for ‘apple pie over the fire’. (What are the chances?!) .

1 tablespoon honey
½ cup canned pumpkin puree

A F K p.48
For the pudding:In a medium heat-‐proof bowl, whisk together the corn starch and sea salt. Slowly add the cream while whisking constantly and the mixture is smooth. Add the yolks and whisk until silky smooth. No lumps allowed! In a 3 quart saucepan, melt ½ tablespoon butter over medium heat then cook pumpkin puree for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. Pour the milk, sugar, and molasses into the cooked pumpkin and cook until the surface shimmers and moves. Remove from heat and slowly pour 1 cup of the hot milk into the cornstarch mixture while whisking vigorously to warm the egg yolks. While whisking, slowly pour the warmed cornstarch mixture into the saucepan then return the saucepan to medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes while whisking thoroughly. Make sure your whisk scrapes all areas of the pan to prevent scorching. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Pour into individual serving dishes or a large heat-‐proof serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. For the granola: While pudding is chilling in the fridge, stir the oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin pie spice, honey, and pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat and add the granola once the butter begins to bubble. Spread the granola in a single layer and allow to toast, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from the heat and pour back into the bowl. Melt the chocolate and pour over the warm granola, stirring to coat. Place in the refrigerator to firm up. For the whipped cream: Just before serving, whip the 1/3 cup heavy cream and ½ teaspoon vanilla until it forms soft peaks. Top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of granola.

This magazine could not be complete without a stroll through the garden. And who better to share than the lovely garden of Maria Marcusse? Her Michigan yard and garden have been featured in past issues of Homebound Magazine, but for good reason! Read on to be inspired, and receive lovely ideas on how to be inspired to be a year round gardener!
I G p.49
Maria Marcusse’s garden takes on a very laid back and natural approach. But there is no shortage on style and color! Her garden truly invites you to sit and stay a while. And who could resist the sights and smells of this beautiful setting? Maria also shows how to set a beautiful garden table. She keeps the emphasis on the natural beauty of the plants and produce and in turn, creates less work for herself. A lunch or tea in her garden are calling to me! The beautiful wire hangers adorning here arbor were found at a rummage sale. They are the perfect way to change things out seasonally to keep things fresh and add color. Sometimes the plants aren’t blooming right when we’d like them to. Here is a good way to add pops of seasonal color while still being able to appreciate the natural rhythms and cycles of the garden and seasons.
The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives. - G J I G p.50

Who needs perfection when we’ve got !*? before
My mom gave me this adorable chair a while back. As you can see it was in bad need of repair. I kept putting the project off because I don’t know how to repolsture and I just wasn’t in the mood to tackle learning a new hobby. I then thought about creating a slip cover, but even that I am not too handy with. I am all about fast projects lately so I thought, why not paint the back of the chair pad and sew something for the seat? It was easy to sew in a square and I knew the style I was after wasn’t going to require much fuss. I scrounged up an old grain sack and some frayed burlap. The back pad was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint French Linen mixed 1:1 with water and simply brushed on. I even had enough left over grain sack to sew a simple pillow cover. How do I know this piece is perfect for my home? It looks like it belongs in a hunting shack, with the dirt already in place. No worries about lil’ dirt footprints and marker stains here! It is easy to keep the home ‘clean’ when you embrace the dirt and let your company know it ‘belongs’ :).
