    Easy DIY Stamped Wood Block Ornaments

    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

    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 Guide for A Distressed Paint Job

    I am a suck­er for a nice heav­i­ly dis­tressed paint job. It is a great way to give new pieces of fur­ni­ture a beau­ti­ful look of old age and his­to­ry. It is no secret that it has become a very pop­u­lar go-to look for refin­ish­ing those out­dat­ed pieces you snagged at a yard­sale or just sim­ply want to cre­ate an updat­ed look in your home.  In this tuto­r­i­al I share some of my per­son­al tips for when you are look­ing to start your next project.  PREP To start off, I rec­om­mend hav­ing a dark base.

    Farmhouse Fall Mantle Reveal

    So lit­er­al­ly last week I came home to a vin­tage cast iron man­tle sit­ting in my garage. My hus­band had done some wheel­ing and deal­ing via Face­book Mar­ket­place and snagged this beau­ty for $120!!! I could­n’t believe it…I had a man­tle! I had been swoon­ing over per­fect­ly styled, chip­py man­tles for years just dream­ing of the day I would have my own!  What we had before was­n’t ter­ri­ble. It too was a gift from the hub­by sev­er­al years ago. I had seen a few dif­fer­ent paint jobs and real­ly I had just migrat­ed away from that style in our liv­ing space. When…

    DIY Buffalo Check Flannel Pumpkin

    There is only one thing bet­ter than buf­fa­lo check.…buffalo check flannel! This project all stemmed from my need for pump­kins to min­gle in with my fall decor. Grab you some fab­ric (or an old flan­nel shirt) and a old pil­low and you’re on your way to DIY pump­kin heaven! Grab a pil­low you don’t mind sac­ri­fic­ing and cut that bad boy open. You’re gonna need the poly­fil for later. Next comes your fab­ric. I had debat­ed on using a farm­house print­ed fab­ric but ulti­mate­ly decid­ed on buf­fa­lo check, because well…it’s buf­fa­lo check and I lit­er­al­ly can’t get enough of it. Sim­ply cut…

    Easy Burlap Flower Pocket

    SUPPLIES Large paint sticks White paint Paint brush Large piece of burlap Uphol­stery tacks Jute or ribbon Hot Glue Faux flow­ers I am so excit­ed to share this project. It was def­i­nite­ly one of those “ah-ha” moments in craft­ing. I just love it when a plan comes togeth­er. My inspi­ra­tion came from see­ing a tray made from paint sticks and draw­er pulls which I thought was absolute­ly genius. I loved the idea of re pur­pos­ing the sticks but I want­ed to take it a step fur­ther by cre­at­ing some­thing to hang on the wall. I start­ed by assem­bling the paint sticks side…

    Easy Farmhouse Candle Ring

    SUPPLIES 2 Euca­lyp­tus stems (or stems of your choice) Flo­ral wire Wire cut­ters It seems like I am always lack­ing in green­ery around my home. If I am restyling a shelf or revamp­ing the cof­fee table I always feel like I am steal­ing my green­ery from oth­er areas of the house, leav­ing them lookin a lit­tle naked. Plus, lets face it…greenery can be expen­sive! When I found these super cute euca­lyp­tus stems for only $3 each it was a no brainer…I was gonna make some for myself. Start by snip­ping sev­er­al pieces of your flo­ral wire with your wire cutters. Then,…

    Upcycled Dry Sink Shelf

    This is hands down my favorite project yet! And yes I am aware that I say that about every project but this time I real­ly mean it! Let me give you a lit­tle bit of back­ground on this piece. Near the town where I live in Ken­tucky there is an annu­al 400 Hun­dred Mile Yard Sale that stretch­es across the state the first full week­end in June. I am lucky enough to be about 30 min­utes from the West­ern start­ing point for the sale.  A few years ago I went for the first time with my mom and let me just…

    Creating a Budget Friendly Gallery Wall

    There is some­thing very sat­is­fy­ing about going a trea­sure hunt through your own house look­ing for things to hang togeth­er. Its excit­ing to see a bunch of ran­dom objects some togeth­er to cre­ate one cohe­sive look. Chances are, you already have most of what you need lay­ing around the house. Take this cute lit­tle piece for exam­ple. It was giv­en to me so that was a plus! Who does­n’t love FREE, am I right? But real­ly I think you could scav­enge through your garage and find an old piece of wood. Paint that bad boy up and add a lit­tle some­thing…
