Welcome to Meadow and Mirth
At NoCo Boho, we celebrate the simple joys of life, the peaceful beauty of nature, and the bright laughter that fills our homes. This blog is a reflection of our family’s creative spirit, rooted in the natural wonders of Colorado and inspired by the free-spirited Bohemian lifestyle.
When we first began this journey, it was not about creating a brand or building a business. It was about spending time together, making things with our hands, and discovering the joy of creating something from scratch. A simple macramé project quickly turned into a passion, and that passion spilled into other creative outlets like crocheting, making beard oils, and finding ways to decorate our home with meaning.
Why “Meadow and Mirth”?
The name came from a desire to capture what inspires us most. A meadow symbolizes growth, calm, and the earth’s natural beauty. It is open, full of possibilities, and alive with quiet wonder. Mirth represents joy, warmth, and the lighthearted moments that make life rich and meaningful. Together, the two words describe the balance we strive for as a family: the grounding peace of nature mixed with the happiness of daily life.
For us, “Meadow and Mirth” is not just a title. It is a philosophy and a reminder to live with intention. The meadow reminds us to stay rooted in the natural world and to appreciate its quiet wisdom. Mirth reminds us to embrace joy, humor, and connection in even the smallest moments. The blog name, then, is a compass that guides the way we create and the way we live.
The Heart of What We Do
As a family-owned business, our products, from macramé hangers to hand-knit creations, reflect this harmony between nature and joy. We do not think of these items as just “products.” Instead, they are expressions of creativity, reminders of experiences, and tokens of connection.
A blanket carries the warmth of the hands that stitched it. A macramé piece carries the rhythm of knots tied in conversation. A bottle of beard oil carries the scent of the outdoors and the thoughtfulness of natural care. These items remind us that handmade goods are not just functional. They are emotional, grounding, and full of story.
Every creation we share is part of our larger goal: to build a life where creativity is not only encouraged but celebrated. For us, crafting is more than a hobby or a side project. It is how we connect with each other, with our community, and with the people who bring our pieces into their homes.

Boho as a Lifestyle
Boho is often misunderstood as just a design trend, but to us, it is a lifestyle. It is about collecting and creating pieces that tell stories, embracing imperfections, and layering life with texture and meaning.
In practice, this might look like filling your home with handmade blankets, plants in woven hangers, and vintage finds that carry memories. It might look like taking time to light candles, share a meal with family, or make something by hand instead of buying it new. Boho is not about following a strict set of rules. It is about creating a home and a life that feel authentic and personal.
At NoCo Boho, we see boho as a way of living that values individuality, connection, and creativity. The home is just one expression of it. The way you spend your time, the way you share with others, and the way you care for yourself are all part of the same story.
Inspiration from Colorado
Living in Northern Colorado has shaped much of our creative identity. The open skies, mountain landscapes, and seasonal shifts all find their way into our work. A meadow in summer inspires the colors we choose. The crisp air of fall influences the textures we create. The stillness of winter invites us to slow down, while spring brings fresh energy to our designs.
Nature is never far away, and it is this closeness that helps us stay grounded. Every knot, stitch, or blend of oils carries with it the quiet influence of the outdoors. Sharing that connection through our handmade goods and this blog is part of what makes our work meaningful.
A Journey Together
Our goal is not only to share what we make, but also to inspire others to bring creativity into their own homes. You may be someone who creates with your hands, or someone who loves discovering handmade pieces. Either way, we hope you find inspiration here.
We also want to hear from you. Creativity is not a one-way street. It grows in conversation, in shared ideas, and in the joy of seeing how different people interpret the same inspiration. Through this blog, we hope to build a community where stories, ideas, and encouragement flow freely.
Closing Thought
We are excited to have you join us on this journey of crafting, living, and celebrating the vibrant spirit of this lifestyle. Meadow and Mirth is not just about what we make. It is about what inspires us, what grounds us, and what brings joy into everyday life.
This blog is an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to create, to notice the beauty around you, and to find joy in both meadows and mirth. We hope you will walk this path with us, discovering along the way that handmade living is not just about the things we own but about the stories we tell.
