Wooden Herringbone Table with Tapered Legs

Wood Veneer Lampshade with Stained Art!

by

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 ]

Teardrop-shaped Bentwood Shelf

by

I’m always subconsciously gathering inspiration from everywhere. I’m the weirdo that can find beauty in the crack of a sidewalk or the spray pattern of mud on the wheel well of my car. So Pinterest is almost TOO stimulating for my over-active mind. But I do love following my close friends and family on Pinterest, and recently saw this Teardrop-Shaped Bentwood Shelf that my friend Laura had ... [ Read More ]

DIY Wood Slice Tall Floor Vase

by

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

by

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 ]

Wooden Modern Headboard with Unique Texture Effect

by

My parent’s thought it would be great fun to have a kid every two years… for FOURTEEN YEARS. And that is why I’m 12 years older than my youngest sibling. Josh. This pic is something like 13 years old. I still totally look like this, right? Of all my siblings, Josh and I are the most similar (even though I graduated and moved away when he was 5, and we didn’t really get to know each other until ... [ Read More ]

Wall Sconce DIY Planter! Using repurposed wooden bowls

by

Ever since I made this Vertical Garden DIY Planter thing out of wooden bowls, I’ve had two half-bowls lying around waiting to be repurposed. I knew what I wanted to do with them, it was just a matter of GETTING TO IT. You know? Well I’m so glad I finally ‘got to it’ because they turned out amazing! Here’s where I started with my wooden half bowls. You can get wooden bowls at yard sales, thrift ... [ Read More ]
