11 Rustic Chic Projects to Try This Spring

The farmhouse decor trend does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, thanks to America’s sweethearts, Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s Fixer Upper.  While the farmhouse style is not one that I use in my own home, I do like it and appreciate its simplicity and charm.

During the month of February, many rustic chic projects were shared at the weekly link party I co-host, The DIY Collective, and these projects were simply too good to not share again!  They’re all totally DIY-able!  If you want the tutorial for any of these projects, please click through to visit the original post.  In the meantime, enjoy these gorgeous rustic chic projects and think about incorporating some of these ideas into your own home!
