    Easy Scrap Wood Halloween Decor

    2:20 PM - By 

    This easy scrap wood Hal­loween decor is so sim­ple and so fun! Every once in a while I like to throw in a cute project that you can get the kids involved in and this is def­i­nite­ly one of them.  Scrap wood is cheap and so ver­sa­tile when it comes to craft­ing. But I also under­stand not every­one is able to get their hands on pieces like the one I use in this project. That is why I cre­at­ed the Scrap Wood Project Box. It’s a sub­scrip­tion box of curat­ed scrap wood projects that you can have deliv­ered straight to your…

    How to Make A Simple Eucalyptus Garland

    7:33 PM - By 

    This sim­ple gar­land is so easy I can hard­ly call it a DIY. The idea came from the want to dec­o­rate my man­tle and the need to lim­it my spending.…trying to bud­get for those pump­kins if you know what I mean.  I grabbed some euca­lyp­tus gar­land I already has on hand and start­ed to brain­storm ways to make it look more fall-like. I decid­ed on lay­er­ing a few sim­ple gar­lands so they could eas­i­ly be inter­changed for dif­fer­ent seasons.

    Hey there! Can you believe it is already time to start pulling out your fall decor?

    Rustic Feed Sack Kitchen Sink Curtain

    8:14 PM - By 

    Okay so when we bought our farm back in Decem­ber, I knew imme­di­ate­ly that the kitchen was going to be one of the first rooms we would tack­le as far as ren­o­va­tions. It need­ed paint, back­splash, fixtures…all the things. Like most of our projects and home renos we were (and are) work­ing with a strict bud­get. Dec­o­rat­ing on a bud­get has become a way of life for me. Most­ly out of neces­si­ty but also out of enjoyment.  Luck­i­ly, this cute lit­tle tip for adding a charm­ing old fash­ioned feel to you kitchen hits the nail on the head when it…

    Easy Wood Block Flag Banner

    12:35 PM - By 

    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.  Prim­i­tives usu­al­ly have dark­er shades of col­or with a nice rus­tic feel to them and that is what I want­ed to make sure I cap­tured with this lit­tle ban­ner. Keep in mind you could use scrap wood or even pal­lent wood to cre­ate this look too. Or if that isn’t…
