This project was inspired by THIS ONE I made last year. I decided to try my hand at creating something with a more primitive look. Primitive and classic has always been my favorite theme for summer holidays. There just seems to be a lot of nostalgia during the warmer months.

Keep in mind you could use scrap wood or even pallent wood to create this look too. Or if that isn’t…

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.

I had sat it out of the box haphazardly on its side and that’s when…
