Hey friends! I recently shuffled some things around in my studio, and it really got my creative juices flowing! Don't you love it when that happens? I ended up with this cute sitting area in the corner, which I love. But it felt like it was missing something. Couch - vintage / Craft Cabinet - DreamBox / Wooden Leaf Shelf - Tutorial / Light Fixture - Sazerac Stitches / Plant - Lady Palm / ... [ Read More ]
Creative Funks – and a Scroll Saw Tree
A couple times a year, I seem to find myself in a creative funk. Uninspired, unmotivated, confused. It usually lasts a couple weeks, and I snap out of it. I'm sure everyone goes through this in one way or another, right? But this last creative funk has lasted MANY MONTHS for me. Making stuff and being productive brings me life, so it was starting to become a problem. I've suffered with ... [ Read More ]
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. Since I've been in a creative slump and don't have any ... [ Read More ]
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? The project I'm sharing today is one I did several ... [ Read More ]
Wood Veneer Lampshade with Stained Art!
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 ]
Circle Monogram Pallet Sign
I love the look of big monogram décor on front porches, and had an idea in my head to pull off something showstopping! Unfortunately, we don’t have an obvious place to put something this large on either of our two porchy areas, so I decided to make it for my parents… can we call it a Mother’s Day gift?! Hehe! *This post is sponsored by Rockler. Thank you for supporting the brand partners that make ... [ Read More ]
Posterized Art Portrait with Stain on a Wooden Canvas
My little sister and I are 10 years apart. I endured a lot of BROTHERS before I finally got a sister, and I’ve always cherished her so much, despite our age difference. We didn’t fight much growing up, because we weren’t interested in the same things. I liked boys and cheerleading, and she liked dressing up her doll. And that was okay! But my little sister Anna is alllll grown up now, at the ... [ Read More ]
Personalized Wooden Arrow Name Plaques
My friend Lindsey and I have been actual besties since 3rd grade. She lived two blocks from me when we were growing up, and we were together ALL.THE.TIME. I couldn’t find any pictures from when we were kiddos, but I found this sufficiently embarrassing photo of us getting ready for prom in the 90’s. I see that you were distracted by my mom’s floral wallpaper and fruit swag border? You might be ... [ Read More ]
DIY Bracket-Shaped Barn Board Sign
Nick and I like to MAKE gifts as often as possible… because it’s cheaper more personal. And well, WE JUST LIKE MAKING STUFF. Geez. So when we get invited to a wedding, I love to make a little something personal for the bride and groom. (Unless I procrastinate, in which case we stop by Target on the way to your wedding and buy a coffee maker and a gift bag. #keepinitreal) This post contains ... [ Read More ]
