    Hand-Cut Rustic Christmas Wood Projects

    3:51 PM - By 

    It may been 100 and heck degrees out­side but we have been all out Christ­mas in July this week at the shoppe! It felt so good to get on the saws and let my cre­ativ­i­ty come to light. You all LOVED the kits so much I was able to part­ner up with a local Amish crafts­man to bulk pro­duce these rus­tic Christ­mas wood projects! I have always been drawn to wood projects but these might just take the cake in the Christ­mas depart­ment. All of these projects were cut using a band­saw and a jig­saw. I’m not say­ing this is…

    8:18 PM - By 

    OK so we have all been faced with this dilem­ma at one time top anoth­er and we are left won­der­ing, how to fresh­en up Christ­mas gar­land. Well hon­ey that is why I’m here! I have found the sim­plest and sweet­est way to give that old tired gar­land a new and fes­tive look that will make your guests look twice! I have to admit, before I reveal this lit­tle secret, that it was not my orig­i­nal idea. In fax­et, I saw this lit­tle trick at my friends barn mar­ket at Feath­er­Stone farm last Christ­mas and it stuck with me! I knew I…

    Christmas Tree Makeover using SnoFlock

    7:27 PM - By 

    This week I had the plea­sure of team­ing up with Seasons Reflec­tions for a fun Christ­mas Tree Makeover using their advanced Snow Flock­ing pow­der! Not only is it super sim­ple to use but it can trans­form any Christ­mas tree in minutes! So I found this super cute tree at a local thrift store for only $15! Yes.…FIFTEEN DOLLARS! At that price tag, it was super easy to bring it back to the shoppe! But of course it need­ed a lit­tle bit of love and knew SnoFlock by Sea­sons Reflec­tions is what I would use. This was not my first time…

    DIY Christmas Centerpiece from Thrifted Lamp Shade

    3:25 AM - By 

    Every year it seems like I am left scratch­ing my head try­ing to fig­ure out the per­fect Christ­mas cen­ter­piece for my din­ing table, cof­fee tables, sofa table…any table real­ly. But I believe I may have found some­thing unique, sim­ple and beau­ti­ful with this DIY Christ­mas centerpiece. It all start­ed with an old lampshade…yes you read that cor­rect­ly, A lamp shade.  It was old. Stained. Bor­ing. But I changed all that just by sim­ply strip­ping it down with a box cut­ting knife and styling it with a few beau­ti­ful items from Roost and Restore Home. This is what the shade looked like after…

    European Farmhouse Christmas DIY

    1:19 AM - By 

    When I picked up this lit­tle $3 ceram­ic Christ­mas horse at a local thrift store last week, I knew right away I want­ed to try to recre­ate a beau­ti­ful Euro­pean Farm­house Christ­mas inspired piece! This dat­ed horse had great tex­ture and the details were per­fect for what I had in mind for trans­form­ing this lit­tle gem. With a price tag of only $3 I knew I need­ed to bring it back to the shoppe for a lit­tle makeover. My secret weapon...Rub N’ Buff! This stuff is so pig­ment­ed and mag­i­cal when it comes to trans­form­ing some­thing basic like this lit­tle…

    Textured Wood Block Christmas Tree Using Sand Paint

    11:28 AM - By 

    I recently have been loving this DIY sand paint recipe! Not only does it provided superior coverage but it also leaves behind a nice texture on most any surface.  Here is what you need! 3 scoops Plas­ter of Paris 2 scoops or small craft tube of paint 1 scoop of Sand wood block Christ­mas tree craft kit All you real­ly have to do is com­bine the 3 ingre­di­ents and mix well. It should be the con­sis­ten­cy of run­ny tooth­paste. If it seems to thick, add a tiny amount of water (or more paint) until desired con­sis­ten­cy is reached. Also, when I say scoop it could…

    DIY Christmas Decor Using an Old Canvas

    2:18 AM - By 

    This week I kicked off with some Christ­mas craft­ing. Every Mon­day I go LIVE on Face­book to share a fun makeover idea and this week DIY Christ­mas decor is just what I need­ed to get the week started! I grabbed a can­vas for $1.99 at the local Good­will, removed the dat­ed can­vas image to reveal a cute, chunky wood­en frame. You can see what this frame looked like before on the Face­book replay. After remov­ing the can­vas I sim­ply stained the frame, attached some super cute pol­ka dot rib­bon, embell­ished with some sim­ple green picks from Wal­mart and thid DIY…

    Rustic Eucalyptus Christmas Tree

    1:06 AM - By 

    Lis­ten, I know naked trees are trend­ing in farm­house decor right now, but I don’t know if I have the phys­i­cal strength NOT to put any­thing on a tree. That is how this cute lit­tle euca­lyp­tus Christ­mas tree came to be! I mean, when I start­ed styling this space I start­ed with two tiny, naked, trees then I tran­si­tioned to a mini tree with twin­kle lights.…annnnnd the rest is his­to­ry. I had this RUSTIC DIY GARLAND on hand left­over from my fall man­tle and I decid­ed to use that resource to deck anoth­er set of halls.  This euca­lyp­tus Christ­mas tree took on…

    Easy Christmas Centerpiece Using Pinecones and Sumac

    7:32 PM - By 

    This easy Christ­mas cen­ter­piece is quick, sim­ple and most importantly…FREE! Yep, you heard me, free. Put on your hik­ing shoes and go on a nature walk to look for these two nat­u­ral­ly beau­ti­ful ele­ments to bring togeth­er to make your own Christ­mas centerpiece.  Before you begin gath­er­ing, grab a dough bowl to bring your dis­play items togeth­er. Mine was a gift but you can get a sim­i­lar one here. This Christ­mas cen­ter­piece idea began one evening a cou­ple week ago when Josh and I were strolling down the dri­ve­way with the kid­dos. We round­ed the last cor­ner of our suu­u­u­per…

    Rustic Christmas Scrap Wood Projects

    2:33 AM - By 

    There is some­thing so incred­i­bly fun about cre­at­ing with scraps. It can be the ulti­mate chal­lenge for your cre­ative side and it’s a great way to use your resources; espe­cial­ly after a home reno or project build. These rus­tic scrap wood Christ­mas projects are the per­fect exam­ples of the amaz­ing pieces you can cre­ate with wood that oth­er­wise may be head­ed to the trash.  There are so many amaz­ing projects ideas out there and I cre­at­ed the THE WOODSHOP to help get wood into peo­ples hands that may not oth­er­wise have the tools or the wood pile to use for projects…
