Repurposing an old door for the front porch
I obtained this old door through a friend’s friend. Ha-ha! That probably sounds a little confusing but somehow it ended up at my house and I thought to myself “This has potential”. Although, I didn’t know what I would end up doing with it once I got it all done I knew it would still be darling! First, I wiped and sanded the entire door down then wiped it again.

Octagon Bee Happy wood Signs
This project is definitely one that is fun for summer! Check out these Bee Happy wood Signs with an Emphasis on the “Bee” part. Bee’s are fun to decorate the home with especially if they are Honey Bee’s. I’ve seen a lot of bee décor pop up over the past few years and thought it would be fun to jump on board.

Patriotic 4th of July Sign
During one of our yard sale trips, we were able to find 2 cabinet doors that were painted and finished with handles. I had originally thought this navy blue one would make a great tray. With the upcoming 4th of July holiday, I changed my mind and thought it would look classy with a nice patriotic saying on it. That is how the idea of the Patriotic 4th of July Sign came to be. We always love finding items that are mostly finished and then adding our own touch to them. what kind of items do you look for at yard sales or thrift stores? Check out the video below…

This is where my idea came in to play to create an Old Fashioned Denim USA Banner. To create your own Old fashioned Denim USA Banner you will need: Old Denim Jeans Cuttle bug machine and banner die cut/ or paper…
