Hey guys! Here's a few promised photos of our time in the Olympic Peninsula! It is a truly magical part of the country, including Forks, WA. Annnd it's where the Twilight Series "happened" if you remember those books; we walked La Push, First, Second, & Third beaches. This week we were in Portland, WA hanging with old friends and it's been a blast!
For our project, we've been seeing floating shelves around the blogosphere for a few years, because they're so simple and pretty. I super love the look on these weathered hickory shelves. If you do too, it's super easy to achieve!
Materials
- Hickory Shelves used here
- Sandpaper
- Weatherwood's Reclamation Stain
- Brush
- Weatherwood Varnish
Directions
1. SAND
Sand wood with 80 grit sandpaper to prepare the wood for stain.
2. STAIN
Apply a generous coat of Weatherwood Reclamation stain, applying with the grain. Do not wipe back off, allow the stain to dry naturally.
3. SEAL
Apply 2-3 coats of Weatherwood Varnish to lock in the color and protect the wood.
I'd love to hear about your recent travels or projects! And of course, I hope to see you at our linky party tomorrow!
