    Free Wood Box Pumpkin Makeover

    Lis­ten, when you’re on a tight dec­o­rat­ing bud­get like I lit­er­al­ly always am, you can learn real quick how to make some­thing from noth­ing. In my recent thrift­ing adven­tures I found a cute lit­tle oval poplar wood box for FREE! It lit­er­al­ly does­n’t get any bet­ter than that! At the time I had no clue what I’d be using it for but I knew it had potential. After get­ting my thrift­ed trea­sures home and unload­ing every­thing in the floor, I noticed my lit­tle box again.

Every­thing about dress­ing up in cos­tumes, sip­ping cof­fee in the chilly temps, hay rides, corn mazes and pump­kin patches…ohhhh my good­ness I can’t wait.

    DIY Farmhouse Riser from Baseball Nubs

    This project has been months in the mak­ing. In order for you to appre­ci­ate this project I have to share a lit­tle back story. A few months ago I was asked to present a project at a live craft­ing event host­ed by Brooke Riley from Re-fabbed. I knew I want­ed to teach the ladies to make a farm­house ris­er.

These nubs were cut off the ends…
