    So every Mon­day for the last sev­er­al months I have been shar­ing a week­ly Live Face­book seg­ment called “Makeover Mon­day” Where I share a week­ly thrift store makeover that peo­ple will love using in their home.

Here at the home­stead we have been doing all of the end of Sum­mer things, putting up the gar­den veg­gies, shop­ping school sup­plies and plan­ning for all of the back to school fes­tiv­i­ties.

I decid­ed to give this sim­ple wood sun­flower dimen­sion with a paint­ing tech­nique that I love to refer to as “wood but­ter­ing.” It’s lit­er­al­ly where you spread your paint on like you would but­ter a piece of toast…no kid­ding! Watch me but­ter this Wood Sunflower. This wood Sun­flower Kit is exclu­sive to our…
