Driftwood Picture Hanger

I was wondering around Pinterest and came across this:

I liked it but decided  to go bigger:

This was a piece of driftwood we collected in Duluth. I liked it but didn't know what to do with it. Now it has a purpose. I plan to add more pics and move the buffet that sits under it so it becomes the main feature. 

Fun and easy piece! 

Paddle Update

Finally did something with the old paddle I found in a dumpster.


First, I went shopping for iron on transfers. I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for. I had been inspired by an artist who printed directly onto pieces of old wood. The effect was pretty cool. Sorry, I don't have a pic. Anyway, JoAnn's had some cute tea towel transfers and I thought I would give it a whirl, no idea if it would even transfer to a hunk of wood. 


If you are interested this is what you're looking for: 

Designs were limited in the store, but there are a bunch online. I chose this:

Just follow the instructions on the package. It turned out pretty well. I ended up adding 3 flowers. I may fill in with paint later, or not, I have yet to decide. The paddle now hangs proudly in my home!

Have a great weekend!

Dumpster Find of the Week!

Find this beauty today. Not sure what I'll do with it, but I couldn't leave it in the dumpster. Plus it was in a recycling, paper only, dumpster. Who would have thought I would find a paddle? Just one.
