    DIY Riser from the Craft Wood Club

    8:13 PM - By 

    We recent­ly launched a brand new mem­ber­ship we like to call the Craft Wood Club! Mem­bers receive a hand cut wood piece to craft with at the begin­ning of each month. This month we are send­ing this super cute shape and I decid­ed it was per­fect for mak­ing a DIY riser!  I began by paint­ing my wood piece in the pret­ti­est shade of Sand­stone by Wav­ery­ly. I was care­ful to paint all the edges and glued lit­tle wood knobs to a skew­er for easy painting.  I added dimen­sion to the tray by dry brush­ing a lay­er of white paint and light­ly…

    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…

    Thrifted Bookend Makeover with Quikrete

    5:39 PM - By 

    A cou­ple weeks ago I grabbed these hefty book­ends at a yard sale for $3. Real­ly the whole day of hunt­ing was a bust but find­ing these beau­ties turned the day around! That real­ly is the joy in thrift­ing and hunt­ing for those unique items. I hope this thrift­ed book­end makeover will inspire you on your next trip to the thrift store.  When you’re on the hunt I sug­gest look­ing for items with “good bones” I know I prob­a­bly wear that phrase out but it real­ly is the most use­ful tip to remem­ber. Paint, stain and in this case, con­crete…

    I had so much fun curat­ing this Rus­tic Patri­ot­ic DIY Decor with my friends over on Face­book. Lov­ing on these ladies through online fel­low­ship and craft­ing is one of the many bless­ing of hav­ing a DIY and dec­o­rat­ing busi­ness.

    Easy Methods for Bleaching Wood Furniture

    5:29 PM - By 

    Bleach­ing wood fur­ni­ture is not a new con­cept but it is def­i­nite­ly trend­ing in home decor right now. Sim­ply put it’s just a process for light­en­ing wood. I cre­ates that beau­ti­ful, blonde type vibe that can eas­i­ly be mixed into rus­tic decor, mod­ern aes­thet­ics and every­thing in between.  I am espe­cial­ly fond of it bring­ing out the nat­ur­al beau­ty in wood rather than cov­er­ing it with paint. Don’t get me wrong, there is def­i­nite­ly a time and place for paint­ed pieces but this process is per­fect for those heir­loom type pieces that you want to pre­serve or maybe you don’t…
