Farmhouse Style Decor

I love creating something from nothing. Especially when I can use chalk paints and my Cricut. I used a vintage wooden window frame for a command center. My husband helped me make a narrow box to hold chalk and important papers. I created stencils for the days of the week.

I built a board-and-batten shutter from reclaimed wood.  This is perfect for narrow wall spaces or could be nicely paired with a grouping of frames. I decorated a small wreath for Christmas and tea dyed red-striped ribbon (because the white was too new looking). They both could be swapped out for the seasons. Both items are available for sale.

Travel Map

This was a birthday present for my daughter. She always bought these cool kind-of posters for friends that documented places they may have been or would like to go.

I thought she would enjoy one herself. I painted a 2’ x 3’ ply wood with chalk board paint. I sketched out North America and painted it. Then I used my Cricut to make a stencil for the compass and title. Of course, I sanded the crap out of it because it can’t look brand new. My hubby made a frame out of an old fence that was ready for the landfill. I love that she has something we made hanging in her apartment.
