Disclosure: This post has affiliate links. It's almost the most wonderful time of year. I like to think everyday we get is a gift and can be the most wonderful time of year, but Christmas is special. I love the lights, color, spirit, meaning and joy that it brings. As we wait for a house, I have been busily getting back into crafting. I started with Christmas projects of course! Today, I am excited to share with you my rustic trees. I started with getting some basic supplies Continue Reading

DIY Rustic Wood Shelf
Today, I'm excited to share another element of our Foster Care bedroom. If you've followed along you've seen the plank wall, unique curtain hooks, the "LOVE" and "Whole World Inside Me" wall art, and the pallet frame.

If you gathered your own wood and followed the principles in this post, you could make your own rustic shelf too! I love Continue Reading
