Tutorial: Photo Transfer to Wood!
One DIY I've always wanted to try is doing a photo transfer onto wood! Have you ever tried it? I know there are several different ways to do this, but I chose the one that looked funnest, easiest, and looks the most awesome when it's done! I love the way you can see the wood grain showing through the image when you're it's finished. *This post contains affiliate links.* Supplies for ... [ Read More ]
Make your own wall art!
I'm sure it will surprise exactly NO ONE that one of my favorite things to make is wall art! (evidenced by all of these) And this time I tried using a technique I haven't used before!

Stained Wooden Logo Sign
I have some exciting news! My baby brother is getting married this summer, and my new sister-in-law is the most precious human being. Like, basically, I can't wait to hang out with her for the rest of my life. She called me up the other day and asked me if I would help her do a project to surprise Josh for their dating anniversary.

DIY Plywood Quote Artwork
I love that plywood is so inexpensive, yet often has some AMAZING wood grain. I also love that it's having a moment in design... 1/2/3/4 See? Classy! And so readily available at your local home improvement store! In fact, we put up a geometric plywood accent wall in our old house, and I'm still obsessed with how it turned out AND I MISS IT OK?

Wooden Scroll Saw Logo Sign
Recently, one of my dear friends started a business selling beautiful, handmade children's clothing and hand-picked antiques. She calls it Wild Petunia, and I love everything about it. I'm obsessed with her logo of wildflowers (which she hand-drew herself!), and I wanted to show my support and excitement for her new business, so I decided to make a sign for her with her logo and business ...

This Rainbow Art is LIT
Y'all, the design process is in FULL SWING for the girls' new room at the new house! With all the chaos happening there, and the shuffling back and forth between two houses, it will be so nice for the kiddos to have a dedicated space that's clean, organized, and DARLING. I can't share details with you quite yet, but I'm going to share one component with you today. Are you pumped? *This post is ... [ Read More ]
Wood Wall Art Challenge Roundup
A couple weeks ago, Nick and I hosted a big ol' collaboration involving a TON of other makers, bloggers, and YouTubers called the Wood Wall Art Challenge. It was SO FUN! Everyone made their own unique wooden artwork, and the creativity was so inspiring! The only parameters were that the art be square (but any size!) and be made of 'mostly wood'. We've never been accused of being legalistic. I ... [ Read More ]
Wood and Mirror Geometric 3D Wall Art
You know from this post and this post that we’re huge fans of wood art and making wood LOOK like 3D wall art! Nick had a brilliant idea to make a patterned ‘3D-illusion’ art that incorporates pieces of MIRROR! We were having so much fun making this piece that we decided to invite some buildy-blogger (and YouTuber!) friends to join in! We challenged them to create a piece of art with only two ...

Gallery Wall Goals
A few months ago, we were fortunate to have a gorgeous and newly-restored piano passed down to us from my uncle and aunt. I’ve played the piano my whole life, and have always wanted a piano in our home ever since we got married for us all to tinker on. I was even more excited when I found out it’s the same piano my mom learned to play on… you know how sentimental I am! The only place we could put ... [ Read More ]
