ENC Farmhouse

Happy Father’s Day from our family to yours!

May today be a day filled with happiness surrounded by loved ones. Thankful for all the Father figures in our lives who make life great! 🩵

Not having a garage or any of his tools won’t stop Matthew from getting work done! He spent all weekend with Emily’s uncle building new doors for Mawmaw’s shed. Working late into the night Saturday after driving back from our family vacation.

He may be “off” work from the Marine Corps, but one thing about Matthew is he ALWAYS has to have a project. 😆 Already has some more ideas for the next month while we’re here!

While in Virginia last week we stopped by Matthew’s soon to be old unit and saw this beautifully reverent piece he built last year.

Matthew put a lot of time, care and attention to detail into this shadow box displayed in memory of a fallen hero. We are proud and honored to have created such a special piece.

It’s Moving Day Part 2! 🚢📦

Everything in the storage unit is getting packed to ship over on a boat to Japan for the next 3 years. Because Matthew and I are both insanely Type A people, we arrived 2 hours before the movers to pull everything out and organize into piles…then relaxed in our lawn chairs and waited for them to arrive. Definitely looked like we had a garage sale going on. 🤣

One step closer to being done…let’s get this knocked out!

Remember & Honor 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Those who never made it back home to their families and didn’t get to watch their children grow up. ‘Thank you’ would never be enough to show our gratitude for their immense patriotism and the heavy hearts that were left behind.

Spent last weekend organizing our storage unit in Virginia to prepare for our household items to ship at the end of the month. 🚢📦

Our laser engraver is packed and ready to go while the rest of Matthew’s tools will be placed in storage until we return to the states. Our business may look a little different over the next few years, but we love how ENC Farmhouse evolves to our crazy lifestyle and never disappears.

Over the last 6 years, we have moved from building only large furniture, to making door hangers, ornaments, and kid’s crafts & toys. Each season of our life has brought a fresh perspective on the trajectory of our small business and where we want it to go. Like we’ve said in previous posts, selling and shipping items from Japan will take some trial and error, but we hope to get it figured out quickly so we can get up and running again. Thank you all for continuing to follow our journey and please keep our fam in your thoughts and prayers and we get closer to our new adventure. 💕

Happy Mother’s Day to all the motherly figures who have made us who we are today! Their care, love, and attention to those around them does not go unnoticed!

Celebrating moms, today and everyday. ❤️

Couldn’t let the day end without acknowledging Military Spouse Appreciation Day! 🇺🇸

Military spouses are resilient, independent, and flawlessly hold down the fort, often solo parenting while their service member is away.

This life is not easy, but oh so worth it. To all fellow military spouses, you are appreciated, today and every day! ❤️

A few staged pieces from a Hubert, NC home that we created years ago! It makes us happy to see them still being loved and cherished.

Each piece was built with intention and tells its own story. We can’t wait to get back to this again one day! 🫶🏼

Spending some time by the ocean really close to where we used to be stationed at Camp Lejeune almost 3 years ago. Haven’t been back here in a while and we definitely miss it!! Reminds me of the beginning days of ENC Farmhouse and our little house (now in property management) where it all started. We will make our way back again one day!
