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…

This is one of those projects I have wanted to try for a very long time and when I saw the opportunity to be able to share in the excitement of making an embroidery hoop wreath for myself I knew I needed to share the process with you all. No it isn’t a new idea but it’s too fun not to recreate! What you need The first step is to decide what ribbon or fabric you want to stretch across the diameter of your hoop. I used a chunky piece of canvas fabric to adhere my heat transfer vinyl on. Follow…

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…

Garden terrariums are super popular in vintage decorating right now! We recently made this Chippy Garden Terrarium in our DIY Decor membership and I am still reeling over the authenticity of the chippy paint layers and the versatility of this DIY!

BINGO CARDS I don’t want to overcomplicate the looks so they can be easily recreated and feel doable for everyone looking to achieve a similar vintage look in their home.

Avid DIY’ers and crafters know what it’s like to accidentally discover a technique. That was definitely the case for this weathered paint look I used on the DIY garden terrarium. Really it was impatience and my messy crafting habits that led to the discovery of this technique, but it really did work out in my favor. What I mean by weathered paint is that natural chippy-ness and peeling paint look on old wood pane windows or doors that have years of wear and tear and layers of paint. Yeah, that’s the good stuff we are going for here. Here is what…

I had so much fun curating this Rustic Patriotic DIY Decor with my friends over on Facebook.

This is a recap of the projects,…
