Farmhouse Tupelo will be locating to the building above at 530 West Main Street coming this August. 

“I’ve always lived my life with purpose, goals, and vision. I am one of those people who believes anything is possible and is willing to work for it,” smiles Bev Crossen, co-owner of Farmhouse Tupelo. “I consider myself a Jack of All Trades and I adore Farmhouse because I get to do all of the things I love to do: design, brand, paint, teach, network, mentor, and shop!”
​
Farmhouse, located in the heart of downtown Tupelo, is a boutique carrying incredible products hand-selected for your home. Filled with beautiful accessories, fine linens, local art, baby and unique gifts, Farmhouse also offers custom paint service as well as Farmhouse Workshops. Additionally,  Farmhouse offers classes on DIY Projects, Watercolor, Calligraphy, and Painting Furniture. Crossen is equally as impressive.

As a young girl in Roanoke, Virginia, Crossen spent her childhood camping, horseback riding and doing chores with her five younger siblings. “My dad showed me the importance of loving your neighbor and working hard. My passion for a project was cultivated from being my dad’s ‘assistant’ as a little girl,” says Crossen.

Crossen is adored by her community. The warm, friendly, and wildly talented Crossen was recently named the 2017 Most Influential Woman of the Year by Mud and Magnolias. “I realized I was the winner at the same time as everyone else did! I looked at the screen as the announcer listed honors and accolades and it clicked That’s me?!” she laughs. “I looked around the room, surrounded by a sea of wonderful women who do so much to give back and felt blessed to just be included. The only thing I could do was hold back the tears and smile as I received the award.”

Crossen recently hopped across the pond for an adventure in Oxford, England. “My English Annie Sloan internship was amazing. I was one of seven from the United States who was invited and it truly was a journey of a lifetime. Annie Sloan is perhaps the world’s most respected expert in decorative paint, colors, and techniques. She developed Chalk Paint Ⓡ in 1990 to answer the need for versatile paint that allows you to paint (almost) literally anything,” she says. “The opportunity made me feel like the luckiest person on the planet. I came back with a wealth of knowledge to share with my customers including color and design, fabric design, fun and informative DIY workshops, and upholstery training.”

With new lifelong friends from Oxford and the thriving city of Tupelo behind her, Crossen continues to grow her business. “I want Farmhouse to be the ones top shopping boutique for all your shopping needs. A place that feels warm and welcoming. A place that you can gather, learn, and buy the perfect gift for you or for someone else. I want us at Farmhouse (and Tupelo) to always strive to do our very best, to welcome all folks with open arms, and to always think outside the box to improve ourselves.” 

Farmhouse hours in the new location will be as follows: 
Monday-Saturday 10-5:30
Thursday till 7pm
Sunday 1-5pm
