    Rustic Wall Decor with Farmhouse Beads

    Hi everyone and welcome back.  As promised, today we are going to make a rustic wall hanging using farmhouse beads.  For a complete farmhouse bead tutorial, click here. Supplies To make your own rustic wall decor, you will need a wooden word, I chose “Blessed”.  You will also need a bead strand and a pompon garland.  I found this garland at Michaels.     You will also need a rustic window frame like this one:     I used a window frame that I bought a few years ago and had been using as decor on our back porch, but I found some similar ones here and here.

    Simple and Inexpensive DIY Farmhouse Bead Strands

    Farmhouse Beads Are Everywhere! They are definitely the home decor item of the moment. There are plenty of places to purchase them, but I want to show you how simple it is to make them for yourself. Supplies You only need 3 items, and 15 or 20 minutes to make a basic strand of farmhouse beads. You will need wooden beads, tassels, and some type of cording. I use leather cording or multiple layers of jute cording to make sure they are durable.     If you want to spice things up, especially seasonally, you can add some glass beads, or multi-color wood beads. For example, you can do red…

    Rustic Wooden Shelves Made from Upcycled Wood

      Aren’t these shelves just gorgeous?  They were so easy to make and they are very special to me because of the wood used, but they would be equally stunning with any type of old reclaimed wood.  In a moment, I will show you step-by-step how to make these shelves, but first a short story about the wood I used.  These gorgeous shelves were made from boards originally used by my Dad to frame his vegetable garden, and to make it even more special, the boards were made from a tree cut from my uncle’s farm.  After Dad passed away, I brought the wood home knowing that I would find…

I went to visit mom again. As many of you know I o I went to visit mom again. As many of you know I often come home from Mom’s house with a really cool item and, in many cases, an even cooler story to go with it.  This little bell was from a old one-room schoolhouse. The teacher used to ring this bell to let kids know it was time to come in from recess. My uncle, in his elementary-school-aged wisdom decided with no bell recess would never end so he “acquired” the bell. I miss you Uncle Bunt. Thanks Mom, for the bell, and the  story!❣️❣️#oneroomschool #vintagedecor #schoolbell #myvintagefinds #momshouse #lovemyhome #lovemyhomedecor
