Wood outdoor tray with garden label handles As I glanced around my very white (winter looking) living room, I felt a pull for spring decorating. Something… fresh! Green! Like I actually had live plants in the room even though I don’t. It was time to think spring! And that’s when my eyes glanced towards my […]
Tic Tac Toe tray game and coasters With Valentine’s Day approaching, I mused… what could I make in my rustic style? I’ve managed to make a few rustic takes, such as THESE small rustic Valentine’s Day hearts and this reclaimed wood heart… But this round, instead of just a project of my own, I decided […]
Today’s project is a fun one… it’s what I call a shipping crate cutting board tray, and it’s become one of my favorite things! I was inspired by Becky at Beyond the Picket Fence’s festive cutting board tray she made HERE, and I’ll share where I used it in a second… but first up… While […]

How to stencil a table runner When I was designing the stencil Buffalo Check, I had these wild visions dance in my head… of a painted table runner. Overall patterns are of course cool! But just a small run of this stencil could also be enough on the right project… Like the top of a dresser… […]
Coffee and hot cocoa themed Christmas and everyday interchangeable TV tray Yesterday was a BIG day. The big, old sofa left the building, which made so much more space for the new one! I’ve been playing around with what else the room needs since getting in the new furniture, when it hit me… we didn’t […]
Third generation reclaimed wood coffee tray I think it’s pretty safe to say, I am a true blue repurpose-aholic. I just took a quick look around my home, attempting to spot something brand new. The only thing I could pinpoint were the kitchen cupboards, fireplace, kitchen island, and stairway rails. But even with those, they were […]
Scroll to bottom of post for the video! I currently have this agenda for my home. You already know I’m in the midst of cleaning and painting. But more than that, I really want to get rid of all the stuff I don’t like. The goal is to be able to swing the camera around, click wherever […]
