I ordered some furniture online a few months ago & saved the pallet from the trash pile my husband had set out by the curb after we had unloaded the furniture. The pallet had seen better days and was very weathered but I loved the rustic look it had. I asked my husband to build me a mug rack out of it to fit a space between our kitchen cabinets & our back door. The results turned out better than I had imagined!

Here's how we did it:
Supplies:
-pallet
-hooks (these are from Hobby Lobby)
-nails & screws
-picture hangers to attach it to the wall

My space could not fit the entire crate so my husband cut it in half. He then screwed on the hooks for the mugs & attached the picturing hangers on the back of the pallet to hang it to the wall. That's it! Easy as pie! It took him less than 45 minutes & he spent 20 minutes of that looking for his drill! ;)

I think it would also look cute to stencil "coffee" or "Tara's Tea Room" at the top...maybe one day! This is certainly a statement piece for any room!
Happy building,
Tara

This is a quick and easy DIY project that takes less than 30 minutes & adds wonderful texture & elegance to any space.
Materials:
-one bag of moss
-wooden letter
-rope
-glue gun & glue sticks
I purchased all of my supplies at Michael's Craft Store for around $12-15.

I found an old piece of cardboard my kids had colored on & put it down because the moss makes a pretty big mess.

I applied the glue directly to the moss and pressed it onto the wooden letter. I did the entire face of the letter first. I then applied thin strips of glue to the sides of the letter and pressed the thinner strips of moss around the edges about an inch at a time.

Cut some rope and hang it up! I hung it between two curtains where there's always that odd blank space & it really draws your eye to the entire wall now!

Happy crafting!

 When we purchased our home, it was very builder basic & screaming for some warmth. The entire first floor was all tile & everything was beige. We tackled many projects when we first moved in, one of them being a new face for the fireplace. I had plans of a mantel, but discovered this rusted arrow at Hobby Lobby instead that really compliments the white stacked stone. While December in Texas has been rather warm this year, we did enjoy a fire in November. This white stone from Floor & Decor is my go-to stone & fits well with many different styles & is affordable & easy to install. Hoping to be using the fireplace once again when the cold front pushes through tonight!
