The Story Behind the Beautiful Chaos Farmhouse

When we say the chaos is real, we are not lying! I’m not sure how we always find ourselves with such a crazy full plate, but it seems to be something we are good at it. The year we started Beautiful Chaos™, we also welcomed our fourth baby and started renovating our farmhouse. Life has been bananas ever since. Though, to look back and see all that has been made beautiful in every aspect, is amazing…challenging…but amazing!!!

How we chose our home

When we decided to move our sweet brood to the country, a very special property had suddenly come on the market. Our agent sent us the listing right away as it met all of our criteria: 5 acres, horse farm, 2-story with 5 bedrooms and in the Orono school district. When we pulled up the address, Jayme was so excited that it was built on the very property owned by his best friends while growing up! Their family actually owned/grew up in the original farmhouse and land that this home sits on. The old farmhouse was torn down, but the driveway to our current house is actually the driveway to that old farmhouse. Jayme spent most his childhood playing on that very land. We scheduled a showing and put an offer in an hour later.

Starting Renovations

Although everything about the property and bones of the home was perfect, the interior was in need of our touch. The home was built in 1996 and was very reflective of that era. We had dreams to not only bring it up-to-date to reflect the needs of our modern family, but also incorporate the primitive farmhouse flair in homage to the original farmhouse that once sat proudly on the property.

Finished…for now ?

The task took us a little over four years. During that time, babies got bigger and our Beautiful Chaos businesses grew and flourished. Altogether, I’m not sure how we managed to live through it all… But, like anything in life, the journey teaches us a lot ❤️

We LOVE wood—each species—a wonderful display We LOVE wood—each species—a wonderful display of God’s wondrous creativity✨ BUT, white oak still tows the line as a Beautiful Chaos favorite! When I was in the 4th grade, my dad designed and built our dream home—with his own hands. He also had the help of my uncles, brother and grandfathers. For months, my grandpa hand stained board after board of oak that was then lovingly placed in our home. I guess I still see all that love displayed in the grain ❤️ Look around, there is beauty everywhere. XO!

Oh BABY! Why don’t you just meet me in the middl Oh BABY! Why don’t you just meet me in the middle ❤️ We’re losing our minds just a little. Lol, it’s totally okay to mix beautiful curves with handsome lines. When working with couples, we are often blending two desired design aesthetics. Our job is to accomplish both by making them complement one another. How did we do here?

I see beauty. I see beauty. I see beauty. Awhile a I see beauty. I see beauty. I see beauty. Awhile ago, I stopped SEEING the chaos in everything—more importantly, I stopped allowing the chaos to take its claim to fame in my life. Chaos is reportable, but it is not sustainable and I decided not to sign up for it any longer. Instead, I asked God to show me His perspective—everyday and in every way. My perspective completely changed. I started seeing the BEAUTY of His LOVE wrangling all things—working despite how chaotic things were. I decided that it was the BEAUTY in the chaos that would be made famous in my life—in my family’s life—and in everything we put our hearts + hands to. BEAUTY brings clarity, BEAUTY brings peace, BEAUTY brings justice to the process and it is BEAUTY that heals the chaos. May it be BEAUTY that is made famous in your home as well ❤️ XO
