Restored Wood Outdoor Table

August 29, 2012 By Katie 7 Comments

A few weeks ago we shared our Restored Wood Outdoor Table with Gail from My {re}Purposed Life, and today I'm excited to share it with our readers! We snagged this table off the curb over a year ago, while walking our yorkie on our evening walk. We spotted a child's wood table, umbrella, and chairs from a distance on the curb. We non-chalantly walked over to the curbside find, examined it, and after a few minutes of debating back and forth we decided that we would take the table with us. As … [Read more...]

{Revamped} Wire Basket Plant Stands

August 28, 2012 By Katie 2 Comments

5+ years ago when Mr. Woodsy and I first moved in to our first place we had very little decor. Needless to say nothing on our porch! One day, he came home from work with two beat up wire basket plant stands. I had expressed the interest in wanting a container garden and he felt these stands would be a great place to store the variety of pots we were starting to collect on our patio. It was a small narrow patio and with all the pots on the patio it gave us very little room to walk around. At the … [Read more...]

Wood Vinyl Sign

August 23, 2012 By Katie 9 Comments

I'm so excited to finally reveal the sign I've been working on for our master bedroom. I've had this "phrase" in my head for a long time and I knew eventually I would make it into a sign. It is even more appropriate since this sign is for our bedroom. Mr. Woodsy and I walked into our wedding reception to Ziggy Marley's "Love is my Religion". We love the song and we love reggae music in general. So the phrase "Love is our Religion" is very appropriate for us! I've recently partnered up … [Read more...]

Chevron Heart Frame

February 7, 2012 By Katie 16 Comments

Chevron pattern has been all the rage in the craft blog world over the past year, and I love the pattern dearly--yet I've created not one thing using this beloved pattern. Last week while parousing the aisles of Michaels I stumbled across this wooden heart shape frame for $1. I knew instantly that I could paint a chevron pattern on the frame and make it spectacular! The only problem I had was creating a perfectly straight chevron pattern. You probably noticed my "goof" instantly... the solid red … [Read more...]

Grapevine Snake Wreath

October 1, 2011 By Katie 13 Comments

Last year I got the idea to make a snake wreath from Nitty Gritty Pretty. She made The CSI Project, and I couldn't live another Halloween without making one of my own! Because we used so much spray paint last year I could not afford to spend any more money on a high quality spray paint I went with a super cheap spray paint. BIG MISTAKE. Because it's still warm in Florida in October the black spray paint was stick to our front door... thus forcing us to have to re-paint our front door. Spend the … [Read more...]

Recently, I've scene quite a few blog post on making silhouette plates. I love the concept, but it just isn't my style... until I realized I could make HALLOWEEN silhouette plates!!!
