    I put an old screen door on my pantry when we built our retirement home to remind me of my grandparents house. My grandmother always yelled as we ran out the back door, “Don’t slam that door!” I love the sound of mine slamming today; reminds me of fun times with my cousins down on the family farm! ❤️

      We were always swinging on the wooden screen door. Ours was always "quit swinging on the door" as it would bang closed. Sweet memories.

    ❤ Aw Mary, this video brings tears to my eyes… I SO enjoyed growing up on a farm…our home was built in 1904, and I just loved the character of it! Most everything had a special uniqueness in the way it was designed and materials used! We lived simply, had cows, chickens, and pigs…had a large vegetable garden, about 1/4 acre of raspberries, a fruit orchard…had no close neighbours, and as we were a family of eight children, we had each other to play with, do chores with, and loved singing together, made cord wood, and had two work horses, Maggie and Jesse, that my dad would use to pull a handheld cultivator to till the garden and raspberries, etc. My oldest brother owned a Model A…loved it! And one of my responsibilities was to use the milk/cream separator…and then with a butter churn I made countless pounds of butter, using the wooden butter form. And of course, there was the butter milk for mom to use! We never wasted anything in those days…when chickens were roasted in the oven of the beautiful wood stove, we ate the chicken feet, the necks, the gizzards, liver and heart! I could write SO much more for the next hour or two! With that being said…I am incredibly thankful and grateful for my upbringing in such a way! My Christian parents taught us about God and we faithfully went to church… We have truly lost a lot of precious lifestyle…and have traded it off with the modern too much techy stuff that has changed people! Yes, we worked hard, but it was a healthier way of life for countless reasons! I miss those days.. through the good times and the hard times! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Mary I found this video to be the sweetest thing! The screen door that you created, drinking from a tin cup, the hook board and the curtained space all struck such a harmonious note with me! Thank you for those lovely, old fashioned and useful touches being brought back to my memory. Absolutely charming.

    Ah...the slam of the screen door! How that takes me back to my childhood. So much that you added (floral shelving, lace edges, curtained cabinet coverings) all bring me back. Also, me or my sister having to run out to get the clothes off the clothesline when the rain started. Playing kickball in the street in front of our house. Playing outdoors all day in summer, coming home only for lunch and then dinner. And still going outside to play after! Beans, hot dogs, and brown bread every Saturday night, followed by Saturday night baths. Thank you, Mary, for this VLOG and for allowing us to join you for a walk down memory lane.

    This was definitely my favorite video I’ve ever seen of yours. Adding these nostalgic elements to your home just adds so much character! Please continue to do this and make it a series!. When we were restoring our old house, we went to California(from Idaho) and bought a vintage screen door for our pantry. I really like it. I also remember the slam of the screen door when I was a kid. I need to have one put on my back door so I can hear it again. Thanks!

The wall hooks, no closets, so much more. I am bringing all this back to my home. The memories , I love this. My happy place.

    Happiest time was spending a week or two in summer at my Grandparents house. Hiding in the barn, feeding the chickens, running from the rooster, petting the calves, laughing till we couldn't stand. Every night a bath in that old clawfoot tub and the ticking of the clocks to fall asleep by.
    My parents are gone and now I have the clocks.
    Oil lamps in every room ( handy when the power goes out). An old clawfoot tub in our bathroom. Most everything in our house is old. The curtain under the sink, I've got the rod now to make the curtain.
    These are the memories of my roots. It's the beginning of what defines who we become.
    The essence of who we are. Sounds silly I suppose to some but I loved that time. Financially it wasn't a great time but it was a time with a slower pace.
    Thank you Mary.
    God's Blessings,

    I love that your adding touches that are doable and yet are neither stupid expensive or tacky. The screen door is killing me. My great grandma had a slamming one. ❤ With a hook and eye closure. Your featuring things my great grandmother had, kerosene lamps, scales, screen doors. Things that made sounds, smells, and were often pretty. Lastly I’m subscribing because your starting out with a regular modern house, like me it seems, not already a real farmhouse. Your not trying to recreate a pretend farmhouse but you are recreating MEMORIES from being around a farmhouse or people who raised food and animals. Now others who did not experience those things can enjoy and understand better the charm of “those days”. I am delighted to find you ma’am.

    My mother was raised on a ranch/farm and I loved my grandmother's farm house. One of my favorite memories was the old wooden screen door on the back porch that would slam closed with that rat-tat-tat-tat. I told my husband that a screen door like that and an old fashioned clothes line in my back yard is all I need to be happy.

    The screen door! I just love it when you say " I thought I'd just make it myself." Out come the tools and wood -- away you go. As I watched I knew that the Big Box stores carry old style wood screen doors, but you built like your grandfather did! Wonderful. I had patterned shelf liners with lace trim in my home and miss them. I have no open shelves in my downsized space. I think I will add lace behind doors as it will make me smile every time I open a cabinet. Thank you for a pleasant tour of farmhouse things.

    I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I was sent out to my aunt & uncles farm to help out ~ they had me through wood down the old wood chute into the basement & then go down & stack the wood. They had an old woodstove that they cooked on & kept the large house warm (I was a gradeschooler when I was out there).
    *Your old screen door is sooo beautiful!

    My grandparents had a little farm in North Carolina. I'm 67, so these memories come from the 1960s. There was a big blue enameled cast iron wood burning stove where biscuits were baked every morning, and a pantry full of food that she had "put up'. To this day, if I smell dried apples, I'm taken back to that pantry.i

    Mary, I am always so impressed with your willingness to just leap out in faith and make it happen. I love the screen door, my grandmother had one and I miss that sound of a screen door - although when we were children that constant in and out of the house might have driven her crazy, but she never said so. I love the ironwork at the bottom, and I have to agree with you, I would have left it the color it was - as the black is just so expected.

    I adore this video, Mary!
    It brought back so many memories of being on our family farm as a child in the old farmhouse with my grandparents. So many memories to share in the comments but some are the wood cooking stove and my grandma having us go get eggs from the chicken coop and fruit and vegetables from her giant garden to make a huge breakfast on the old kitchen table with mismatched chairs- how she made biscuits in a wood stove I’ll never understand 😅
    We had the oil lamps, a piano in the “parlor”, slamming screen doors, eating fruit she canned in beautiful china cups and dishes, eating mulberries off the trees while soaking our feet in the irrigation ditch, making thing in my grandpa’s barn shop… so many more! I am very lucky that we still have the farm and I plan to retire there though unfortunately the old farmhouse had to be taken down. We saved all the old wood and I plan to repurpose some of the wood.
    Thank you again for sharing your experiences Mary

    I grew up in the city, but most of my family on both sides lived on farms. I spent alot of time visiting and helping on farms growing up. My mother was not Amish, but grew up on an old fashioned farm. My father spent all of his summers on his grandparents farm so that I too love the old houses. Those are very fond memories . Over 25 years ago my husband and I got to move out in the country and I will never go back! Thank you for all of your wonderful videos! You really brighten my day!

    We grew up in an old farmhouse with the screen door. Mama and Grandma Grace would yell at us not to slam the door. We always had a curtain under the sink also. We had to wash the sink curtain often because as kids we were messy. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Nothing more satisfying than sitting on the front porch at dusk with our kitty cats listening to the whippoorwill singing. Great job on the screen door! Love it

I have memories of being upstairs in the barn hanging our heads down a hole in the bulls pen watching the boys try to get the bull back in his pen. Also wearing dresses and rubber boots to bring in the cows. So fun! I love your videos.

    Good morning Mary. I was raised on a farm in Tennessee and one of my fondest memories is making gingerbread and quilting with my grandmother. One of the things I hold closest to my heart is watching her put butter in a small wooden mold and getting to push the butter out onto a small covered plate. Lastly, the smell of lilacs remind me of those days.

Was so disappointed when Nana got a new faucet. Boring ! Now I have a replica pump spout faucet in my bathroom. Nana also had an old washing machine wringer mounted on a big tree to wring out our wet swim suits.

And what a great job you did, not only with door, but with everything else! My mother used to buy shelf liner in Woolworth’s 5 & 10…it had a paper lace border that you folded down over the edge of the shelf.

    I am just once again so in awe of your God given talent! And I love the nostalgia of a screen door. I almost feel sorry for the folks who were never fussed at for letting the screen door slam. That, and getting fussed at for sliding down the banister at my Grandma and Grandpa's farmhouse. They just happened to live in Ohio so I have a very special place in my heart for Ohio.

    Mary, it all looks so cute! Just because these ideas are not in the "current" decorating magazines does not mean you can't do it. That is how things get popular, by doing something no one is doing currently! I remember my mom always had those copper molds hanging in the kitchen and the great big fork and spoon on the wall. I recently found a bunch of the molds at Goodwill for only $1.99 so I hung them up in the soffit above my cabinets. I found an old breadbox with a copper door at a flea market for $10.00 so had to buy that! I do have the big spoon and fork from my mothers house, so thinking I will repaint them and hang them, too. 30 years ago I found a similiar self-adhesive lace. I never did put it up, but never threw it out ......maybe I need to hang mine now.

    11:37 if you look just behind the face of the scale, there's a little knob... Turn that to "zero" the scale. We used it to negate the bowl when measuring flour. 💖🌞🌵😷

    On our grandparents' farm, we used the door leading into the dining room of the big white farmhouse with built in closets. The first closet had walls lined with hooks (no rods) each holding multiple jackets and the floor was lined with boots. You opened the door, stuck your feet in boots and grabbed a jacket that fit. No one had their "own." We had our favorites and were respectful of those preferences...but owned nothing on for ourselves. The kitchen cabinets were white metal framed in a thin line of black paint. I do not ever remember having a Christmas tree or any such fancy things. Never missed any of that. The screen door was a wood frame lined top and bottom with gray screen. The white farmhouse on the other side (a 2 mile dirt road walk) of the almost 400 acre dairy farm had a half door and its own wood screen door leading into the kitchen. That perfect sound you have replicated with the beautiful door you made here. There was always 2-3 gallons of sweet tea on the kitchen table. I love your work. But, I think it's the memories your channel brings that keeps me coming back time and again watching some videos multiple times.

    I always remember going to my grandmother's house which was a farm of 20 acres. I loved to go almost every day. There were lots of animals on the farm which I got my love for animals because of going there. She was a great cook on her big iron cooking stove. Her food was so good. I remember the time she was canning honey. I loved to chew the comb. I do miss her and the good times I had playing on the farm with my cousins.

    Unbelievable Mary! You are so talented in anything you set out to do! The projects just come together so beautifully, I love them all! Anyone who needs to learn how to do anything creative should definitely be watching your channel. You have learned so much growing up in your Amish community. it's just beautiful how you bring everything to life here for us to watch. Thank you for sharing another jaw dropping video that always inspires me to tackle something in my home. And by the way, I just love my drop cloth curtains you made for me several months ago! I have 2 sets and they are just hanging so lovely in my home! XO :)

    I just love how industrious you are - you make everything look effortless! Now I also understand why: I first encountered the Amish in Pennsylvania and Ohio, when my late husband and I chose to travel from Pittsburgh to Mansfield, Ohio by Greyhound bus. (This was way back in 1983) On a business trip to the USA, I had accompanied Nigel, and we decided very quickly to use road transport for internal travel, as we wanted to get to know folk on the ground, as it were! I recall so many trips that followed this first one,and how so many of my new friends took me to Amish craft shops, as well as Amish restaurants - LOVED it all! Thank you for sharing your gentle way of creating beautiful things - and your garden is simply delightful!

    I've watched your channel for a couple of years now, and I love your inspiration for making old thngs and scrap wood into something beautiful and useful again. I grew up on a dairy in South Florida, which is very different from a farm up North; but we had to make do as well, and had fresh milk, cream and eggs. I especially remember the old canisters, the kerosene lamp, and the pretty shelf liner and lace trim. And Mary, you made a screen door from scratch for Heaven's sake, awesome! I can still hear the sound of it slamming, music to my ears. You are my shero for all the beautiful things you've made and restored! Thank you again and I pray many blessings for you and your family.

    Hi from rural Queensland, Australia. I too feel nostalgic. I feel I was born out of time. I loved everything in my grandmother's house. I'm 71, and she was victorian english. I inherited a 'hall stand' from her estate and it fits in well with our old house her in the country. We have collected the old oil lamps too. Love watching your channel. Thank you. stay safe Luci

    Good afternoon Mary, I remember seeing my Dad making screen doors, one for the front and one for the back. It was many years ago. I was a little girl and had no concept of his carpentry skills. The doors actually served to keep the majority of moths out the house at night when the lights were on and maybe they unwanted flies or wasps during the day, it also operated as a sort of security door, it had a insidehook just to keep it closed, Dad did not add a spring to shut it behind us, we closed it by hand. Dad passed away, the door became shabby and I replaced it with a metal door - it was gastly, but it worked and served the purpose. So many handmade treasures were lost with easy just buy ready made requirements. The door turned out fabulous. Where there is a will, there is a way. Thank you for sharing I loved the video. Many blessings, kind regards.

    I grew up on a farm and remember very well the " dont let it slam", usually, right before it slammed. Lol. I also remember my grandpa lived (right before we moved him onto our farm) in a little town that had a grocery/hardware/gardening tools in it and wooden floors and a huge covered porch on the back and had wooden screen doors and we would sit there and drink "soda pop" while the people caught up with everyone. Thank you for the memories, Mary

    I too love the sound of a slamming screen door! Reminds me of summer, bare feet and grandparents. Your custom screen door turned out beautiful! The use of the wrought iron finds gave it just the perfect look. Thanks for sharing your projects with us!
