DIY Cabinet Door Magnet Board See my question and be sure to comment with your great ideas at the end of this post! 🙂 A week or so ago I made my repurposed cabinet door sign for my kitchen, but I still had the other door for the cabinet left. I didn’t want to put it in my workshop, because I knew it would become buried with hundreds of other things in there, so I figured I’d better make something {Read More}
How to Make an Old Farmhouse Sign On New Wood
July 16, 2017 by 3 Comments
How to Make an Old Farmhouse Sign on New Wood I forgot to ask the gal who took care of our animals while we were on vacation to water our flowers. The ones planted in the ground held up basically fine, but the flowers in hanging planters didn’t fair so well. 🙁 Since the flowers in my guest house window box were some that died and I didn’t want to replant them until fall,

Turn Old Junk into Fabulous Farmhouse Decor
December 23, 2016 by 15 Comments
The end of the year is a time of reflection, and while digging through the mountain of junk in my workshop earlier this week, I started reflecting on some of my favorite farmhouse projects that I’ve made out of castoffs that others call junk. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I’ve broken it down into projects made with three types of junk that I love to work with. METAL JUNK
Coffee Shop at Home Reclaimed Wood Coffee Station
September 30, 2016 by 22 Comments
During the summer when I was traveling with my family, everyone wanted to get out of the car and stretch their legs, so we stopped at a little coffee shop. The owners of the coffee shop had done an amazing job designing the interior and styling the space. The walls were chalkboards filled with chalkboard art and their menu. One wall was filled with coffee merchandise displayed on gorgeous rustic wooden shelves, and a display case was filled with fresh {Read More}

As much as I’d love to visit Magnolia Market, I don’t see that happening in the near future, but I did some online “window shopping” and spotted a few things I love.

It’s actually similar to the rustic table centerpiece I made and used in the autumn (seen here) and at Christmas (seen {Read More}

Remember that chippy weathered photo backdrop I shared a few weeks ago? Well, that photo was the top of my mom’s old picnic table, and she told me I could keep it (yippee!!), so my husband took it all apart and we transported {Read More}
Ushering in Autumn Mantel and Wood Slice Letters
September 14, 2015 by 26 Comments
Did you know that autumn, winter, spring and summer all have 1 thing in common, aside from being seasons? Can you guess what it is? They all have 6 letters in them! So, who cares, right? Wrong! You can get double duty out of the project I’m sharing today, because I made some wood slice letters to display as part of my autumn mantel decor, and since wood slices have 2 sides, you can put the letters for one season {Read More}
