I have so many collections around my house, but there’s one thing I collect that doesn’t cost any money, doesn’t take up any space in my house, and doesn’t need to be dusted, and that’s free fonts! I collect free fonts because it’s nice to have lots of different font styles to choose from when making a graphic, but also because I love dingbats! Dingbats are special shape fonts. Each shape is created using the regular alphabet or numbers on your keyboard. {Read More}
Pallet Wood Floating Shelf

Last week when I made the Pallet Wood Coat Rack w/Storage, I had a lot of wood leftover from the same pallet, so before I moved the extra wood out to my workshop, I thought I’d come up with one more project using some of it first, and this DIY floating shelf was super easy! I’m including the directions, so you can make one too.
Wooden Door Backdrops

Recently my husband brought home a bunch of doors used doors. He installed one to replace our bedroom door, and used another for the closet he built into our bedroom. I love incorporating doors into my decor, and there are several solid wood doors that we won’t need, so I decided to turn them into door backdrops. I’ll be able to use them in my house, but get double-duty from them as door backdrops for photos as well. This one is a {Read More}

Making Antique Style Apothecary Bottles
January 23, 2015 by 20 Comments
Over the summer, I brought home several boxes filled with old bottles. There were old medicine bottles, perfume bottles, alcohol bottles, and soda bottles – just about any kind of bottle you can imagine. I sold some of them in my shop, but hadn’t decided what to do with the rest, so I put them back in the boxes, and promptly forgot about them, until I was decluttering this week and stumbled across them.
Spicing up an Antique Sewing Table Drawer
January 22, 2015 by 9 Comments
Does salvage make you feel just a wee bit giddy? I’m really not a giddy kind of gal, but when I see something made of old wood that is broken, my heart rate speeds up a bit! I know a lot of people are sensitive when comes to antique pieces, and don’t like to see them painted or repurposed, but when I find something that is broken, I feel okay about tinkering with them. This cute little drawer was originally the {Read More}
Pallet Wood Wall Rack for Coats, Hats and Storage
January 21, 2015 by 13 Comments
Remember my repurposed books coat rack that I made last year? Well, it’s been hanging in our entryway, and my husband uses it to hold his hats. It looks great there, but the reason I hung those pretty vintage dictionary pages on the wall is that what’s underneath them is very flimsy paneling. I had hoped the paneling would be strong enough to support the weight of the books, but it wasn’t, and the screw holding one side kept stripping out of the paneling {Read More}
