{T W O} //  New Design

I'm sure you noticed...but I changed my design again. This time it was more of a have to than a want to kind of thing. I loved the last one, but it just wasn't working. It was a pre-made template that I had purchased and there were things that I couldn't change about it. And it was missing some key elements that I wanted on my posts. And, it wasn't responsive. So, I am hoping this one works out. It's simple, but clean and I think I love it. Not 100% sure on the header, though. Looking for a font I like better. Any suggestions on what I should change? Should I add color somewhere?



{T H R E E} //  New nightstands

A couple weekends ago we bought some night-stands from an antique store in town. Nathan and I both saw them and thought they would be perfect in our bedroom. They go great with the headboard that we made. All we did to them was change out the knobs on them, We love them...but now we need to paint our dressers and my tall jewelry box to match!




{F O U R} // DIY Farmhouse Tray

A few weeks ago Nate whipped up another little DIY for me. We have several of these wooden crates that we've been collecting. Not for anything in particular, but for something. We've seen many projects on Pinterest with them and knew we could do something with them. Then I ran across this cute little DIY Farmhouse tray that I loved. Nate said he could make me one out of one of the crates we had. And, he did.

Ignore the horrible quality of the picture! 

He cut the top layer of the crate off, got some chicken wire and stapled to the bottom of it, cut off the access and then took some linseed oil to the wood to bring out the natural grain. I need to get a better 'after' picture of it, but it's pretty cute!
