Actually, I may have gone a little overboard on the tile when I was designing this room.

, for early mornings when the grass is still soaked with dew.Basically so many of the rural lifestyle scenarios that we face out here everyday.

But that gets messy.My hunter boots aren’t the perfect, shiny, Pinteresty outfit boots anymore, but I do need to keep them clean so I can run into town when I need to without looking like a crazy mud-monster..So here’s how I clean them!.

First start out with some hunter boots that have seen a nice afternoon of weed-pulling, or toddler-chasing just after a rain storm.OK, so these weren’t that caked in mud at the time that I took these pictures, but trust me, there are times when I’m pretty sure there’s about 10 lbs of mud stuck to the bottom of each boot.. Look how ridgy those boots are!

So great for unslipperyness, but also really great for holding onto way too much mud..

If I ever run into that problem, and I frequently do, I like to use my favorite new mud scraping tool!.Having an idea that you’re really excited about will carry you through those hours and hours of measuring, nailing, and painting!

You won’t be able to wait until you get to see the final result!I can’t recommend a few good evenings spent on Pinterest enough!.

We’ve got plenty more of these types of projects either half underway or just in the planning stages around here.The thing you really need to know is that no matter how much planning you do, you’ll always have to get a little creative and you’ll always run into some kind of challenge, BUT you’ll also always love the final product so much more than you thought you would!
