![]() ![]() When I need to use them, I take them down, give them a wash with some soapy water, because lets be honest, dust and dirt is a serious battle in a farmhouse.Ĭutting boards, rolling pins, hats, coat hangers, and baskets are some more ideas for you. My two favorite large serving plates are always displayed under my cabinets on the wall until I need them, because they are amazingly detailed and have my favorite colors. ![]() We will discuss plates later, but they also fall under this category. I also have my antique bone saw hung in the kitchen, easy to find when its butchering day. Hanging my cast iron or copper pans on the wall is one of my favorite things for the kitchen. Practical thingsĪ homesteading mama always needs practical things around.īut that doesn’t have to equal boring or ugly by any means. You change things around, finish a project, change your mind about the current decor, and then you can go “shopping” in your own stash. It’s always worth keeping them around I’ve found. for you because you love it.If y’all are like me then you probably have a little pile of thrifted or antiqued decor items sitting somewhere just for such an occasion. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but, you know what? I love it!! Sometimes you just gotta do what speaks to you and decorate, wear, do your hair, drive a car etc. So really funny that it’s not exactly what I remembered but what inspiration for my own project?! Gotta love some DIY Farmhouse decor on a budget! Once it was secure, I added the flowers to finish off the look of this DIY wall decor. We hung it on the wall and the bag opened more than I wanted it to so I another nail. I used tiny nails to attached it to the wood leaving an opening at the top of the bag. I laid the finished wooden background out on the table and centered the bag near the bottom. ![]() Here’s what the corners look like completed. Crazy blogger error, I forgot to take pictures. Then we cut the lengths we needed and mitered (cut at a 45 degree angle) the pieces so it would fit together like a picture frame. In order to get the most out of the board and just add a bit of a border (about 2 inches), we ripped (cut) the board in half lengthwise. Once it was dry, he attached “D”ring hangers to the back.Īt this point I realized it needed a frame so I picked up another piece of the wood at Home Depot. Hubby used the clamps for a little while to hold it together while the glue dried. We attached thin pieces of wood with small brad nails with the nail gun across the back of each piece to hold them together. We used wood glue to to help keep it all together. That way we had a solid, straight edge to work with. First we cut the “tongue” (flat part that sticks out and goes into the groove of another board) off of one of the boards with the table saw. Once I got the measurements, we were ready to cut the pieces with the chop saw. ![]() I wanted to make sure there was enough room to have an equal area around the edges of it so it looked balanced or centered. In order to figure out how large the background should be, I laid the bag out and measured around it. It’s only 3/4 of an inch thick and not very heavy so perfect to hang on the wall.Īctually, it’s made for wood wall treatments so it’s easy to put together and they were only about $13 a board. We picked up two of these tongue and groove boards from Home Depot. I had to go with a wooden background of course. ![]()
