Repurposed Vintage Hankies

November 7, 2019 by Bethany Sy

I'm a sucker for all things vintage and sentimental, so loving repurposed vintage hankies comes naturally to me. Even though they're meant to blow your nose in them. Can you believe our grannies did that into this beautiful fabric? Since making our DIY Vintage Hankie Garland a few months ago, I've seen several amazing projects using repurposed vintage hankies. I thought it would be ... [ Read More ]

Upcycled DIY Succulent Planter Idea

May 23, 2018 by Bethany Sy

A few weeks ago when I was strolling through Theisen's in preparation for this project, I did a legit double-take when I saw these little guys on an end cap. *This post contains affiliate links* My first thought was... 'what a darling little succulent planter'! Until I flipped it over and realized what it really is. It's a chicken feeder. Obviously it was speaking to me, and who am ... [ Read More ]

Upcycled Headboard Ideas for Fiestaware Display

February 23, 2018 by Bethany Sy

One of my besties, Angie, is moving to my town from a couple hours away, and I could NOT be more excited! I wanted to make her a house-warming gift, so I asked her to pick out something on Pinterest for me to DIY for her.

Let’s just say this Snow Globe Craft was a big hit! *This post contains affiliate links* First things first… find a trinket or ... [ Read More ]

Wood Veneer Lampshade with Stained Art!

August 30, 2017 by Bethany Sy

IT’S FINALLY HERE! The stained wood veneer lampshade! If you watched our Facebook Live(s) you know that we’ve been recording/editing video for my latest stain art! And this time instead of staining onto a solid piece of wood furniture, I actually stained my art onto a thin sheet of wood veneer. Birch to be exact. And then we (Nick) made it into a LAMPSHADE! *This post is sponsored by Mohawk. ... [ Read More ]

DIY Wood Slice Tall Floor Vase

August 2, 2017 by Bethany Sy

We have mature shade trees all over our acreage. And rest assured, every time a storm blows through, there are downed sticks and branches scattered around the yard. The twins (and now, their new recruit, Cypress – 2) make it their personal goal to gather the branches and distribute them in the vicinity of the firepit in hopes that we’ll strike up a fire in the evening and they’ll get to stay up ...

Moroccan-Shaped Wooden Sconce Vessels

July 26, 2017 by Bethany Sy

I’ve been staring at my computer for the past 10 minutes trying to figure out what the title of this DIY should be. The shapes of them fit into the Moroccan shaped pattern criteria, and they are definitely sconces. But they can be used so many different ways, so I couldn’t go with ‘vase’ or ‘planter’ or ‘candle’. So VESSEL it is. This post is sponsored by DecoArt. Thank you for supporting the ... [ Read More ]

I love how creativity so easily evolves. One idea leads to another, and another, and on and on. And that’s exactly what happened with the project/tutorial I’m going to share today! *this post contains affiliate links* It all started with the Wooden Bowl Vertical Planter.
