An Easy Way to Repurpose Old Canvas Art

Repurposing and reusing old canvases is the best way to create custom artwork for free!  Add an easy wood frame, a little paint and you have the perfect modern art piece.   A few weeks ago, I cleaned out my husband's office, which included going through a lot of old decor. As I was preparing bags to be packed up for Goodwill I hesitated adding a few old art canvases to the "donate" pile.  I knew they would be easy to update, so I set them to the side for future projects.  If you saw my Fall Home Tour on Monday than you may have already seen my new DIY artwork.  I actually finished this project and took photos before I fully decorated for fall, but wasn't able to get the post written in time.  Better late than never, right?  I had previously purchased artwork for the spot above my new bar cart , but ended up moving it downstairs when I was finishing the  vintage modern bathroom makeover .  That left me with a b......

An Easy Way to Build an Industrial Wood Coffee Table

Building a professional looking industrial style coffee table is much easier (and cheaper!) than you think!     It's Monthly DIY Challenge day!  This month,   Kreg  has graciously sponsored our challenge and has also provided each of us with a Kreg R3 .  I can not believe I have never used one of these handy tools before.  Seriously, have I been living in a hole? I've built many projects in the past, but building a piece of furniture with pocket holes is a total game changer! Affiliate links have been used. A few months ago we bought furniture for our living room  and I have been in search of a new coffee table ever since.  I haven't been able to find one that I really like, so I decided to move our basement coffee table upstairs and build a new one for the basement.   I love being able to shop the house and rearrange furniture.  It's my favorite way to achieve a new look in a space without spending a penny......

A super easy to make affordable farmhouse signs without fancy cutting machines!  Do you remember the time I made signs out of foam board ?  They were seriously the easiest signs I have ever made and are what started me on my love for sign making.  I don't own a Cricut (what is wrong with me?),  so all the signs I make are super easy, including this affordable gather farmhouse sign. It's also made from foam board (bought for a dollar at Dollar Tree!) and involves minimal tools and effort.  I used my favorite m itre saw   to cut the wood dowels, but you can make this sign with a simple X-ACTO knife or small hand saw.  When I say easy, I really do mean easy! ...
