    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…

    Easy Christmas Candle Display

    10:39 AM - By 

    I am elbows deep in pack­ing box­es and clean­ing out soooo much clut­ter before we move. That is how I dis­cov­ered the peices for this lit­tle gem. I was in my “office” which has real­ly just become a stor­age area forall of my sup­plies and projects when I came across these can­dles, and an old bro­ken tray. They were not stored togeth­er and, in fact, sep­a­rate­ly, they all looked pret­ty sad. With me being in clean-out mode they were tossed mind­less­ly into the donate box.  Yep, this project almost did­n’t even hap­pen. It was­n’t until I was load­ing things into…

    $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…

    Buffalo Check Christmas Ornament

    9:06 PM - By 

    Late­ly I have been on a roll with Christ­mas projects. I have slow­ly been “win­ter­iz­ing” my house with flock­ing and trees all over the place! I have also been craft­ing away at some DIY Christ­mas orna­ments to add to the my new­ly themed tree this year! As you may already know, I am incor­po­rat­ing a lot of neu­trals this year, and in addi­tion to my flocked tree I am slow­ly adding lots of new DIY orna­ments. Recent­ly, I shared how to make these STAMPED WOOD BLOCK ORNAMENTS and today I am show­ing you a com­plete­ly new type using mod podge, rib­bon,…

    DIY Jumbo Christmas Ornament from an Old Frame

    5:50 PM - By 

    Y’all.… in case you did­n’t already know, I am in full blown Christ­mas mode over here! No I am not dec­o­rat­ing yet but I sure am doing my best to prep and cre­ate decor for my tran­si­tion from tra­di­tion­al reds and greens to a more neu­tral palette.  Chang­ing col­or schemes can be dif­fi­cult and those price tags will start rack­ing up quick! So far I have been mak­ing plen­ty of orna­ments and pick­ing up some here and there at the dol­lar stores around town. How­ev­er, the trou­ble I am run­ning into is that most of all the jum­bo styled orna­ments…

    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!…
