    Upcycled Advent Countdown Cabinet

    7:29 PM - By 

    So there is a fun­ny back sto­ry to how this cab­i­net came to be. If you know me then you know I like to online shop in the mid­dle of the night. I some­times wake up in the mid­dle­of th night and have trou­ble going back to sleep so I shop and day­dream until I get drowsy again. Weeeeeell, here’s the thing. I some­times buy things and com­plete­ly for­get about my com­mit­ment to pick them up or that I even bought it in the first place. Yeah, I know, weird huh?  That is exact­ly what hap­pened here, with this cab­i­net. I…

    Pieces of Me

    4:23 PM - By 

    The Sto­ry of the Patch­work Quilt  So just to paint the scene here, I am writ­ing this in between sips of Sprite and chick­en noo­dle soup all while being wrapped up in an old patch­work quilt I helped my Grannie to make year­rrrs ago. As a kid, I remem­ber my Grannie’s lit­tle sewing room. It was an enclosed front porch area with lots of win­dows. There were nice waist-high cab­i­nets all around, which she nev­er used sim­ply because they were buried under years and years of fab­ric and sewing sup­plies. Instead, she chose to sit in a squeaky old chair at…

    $3 Nativity Makeover

    8:20 PM - By 

    I have been search­ing for the per­fect nativ­i­ty scene to add to my Christ­mas decor for a few years now. Though they are beau­ti­ful, I nev­er could bring myself to spend so much mon­ey on a set. Luck­i­ly, in most most recent trip to one of my favorite pickin’ spots, I came across this lit­tle dia­mond in the rough! It was not in pris­tine cond­tion but all the peices were there and it was in decent shape. I snagged it for $3, stuffed it in a box and brought it home!  Talk about a steal! My heart was elated.  As you…

    Easy DIY Stamped Wood Block Ornaments

    2:01 AM - By 

    This is one of those projects that I did­n’t total­ly come togeth­er until the very end. At first, the plain ole wood blocks do not look that impres­sive. I encour­age you to stick this one out until the end. I think you will be present­ly surprised.  I start­ed with these cute lit­tle pre-cut wood blocks I have avail­able in R+R SUPPLY. They are made of pine, and can eas­i­ly be stained or sand­ed. A stamp set, paint, sand­pa­per and some string are all you need to com­plete these lit­tle gems! Start by paint­ing your blocks and allow them to dry. Noth­ing…

    How to Make a Rustic Embroidery Hoop Wreath

    8:35 PM - By 

    This DIY embroi­dery hoop wreath is the per­fect addi­tion to your rus­tic Christ­mas decor. This project start­ed much like the oth­ers, with a trip to the thrift store! Which if you know me, is my absolute favorite place to shop for sup­plies. I always keep my eye open for wood hoops, wood uten­sils and any oth­er pieces that can be repurposed. When I’m not thrift­ing I am raid­ing the scrap wood pile for sup­plies. That is exact­ly why I cre­at­ed Roost + Restore Sup­ply; to give peo­ple access to the wood you need to make your projects come to life!…

    Easy DIY Vintage Farmhouse Pumpkin

    1:40 AM - By 

    I must warn you before you read any fur­ther. I am hard core about some fall DIY over here at R+R late­ly. It tru­ly is my favorite time of year, now through Christ­mas real­ly. Some­thing just clicks in my brain and I lit­er­al­ly can’t turn it off. Every where I look I find inspiration. In a recent trip to the Good­will I came across a knit­ted scarf and BOOM it hit me. I decid­ed right then and there I was gonna cov­er a pump­kin with this cute scarf. It had an old timey, vin­tage feel and it fit per­fect­ly with…

    Easy Halloween Sign Without Using Paint

    10:02 PM - By 

    SUPPLIES Wood piece Print­er Paper Mod Podge I absolute­ly love the Halloween/Fall sea­son. 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. It may only be August but I have slow­ly start­ed trick­ling out my fall decor. Can I con­fess some­thing though? Hal­loween decor has always been a chal­lenge for me.I nev­er real­ly know when or how to incor­po­rate the spooky-ness in with my tra­di­tion­al decor and when I do, it ends up look­ing clut­tered. Is this a prob­lem for you or just me? Any­way,…
