Farmhouse Chic Dresser

Pine is the most common wood out there. It's usually what pallet wood is made from and it will be your most cost effective wood type. You know this because it's frequently found at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes. If you're planning a wood project and your's like instant barnwood, here's the project for you! 

Rustic Pine Side Table

We hiked to this awesome secluded beach, called Second Beach here in the Forks, WA area. You walk a mile or so thru this green, mossy, enchanted forest. The light breaks through the tall pines and mossy ferns lighting the unusual trees. Then, after ups and downs, ups and downs, you pass the hills and reach this mystical, (usually gray) beach. It is really something else you guys. If you're familiar with the Twilight series, you can almost imagine werewolf running around. ;-)

Nautical Wooden Napkin Rings

You guys! Zack and I are back in Forks, WA this weekend and it's been 5 years since we were last year. Forks is incredibly beautiful and is located in the Olympic peninsula, in WA. There's a real rainforest nearby and several of the dreamiest, most mystical beaches you've ever seen. It's eye candy for days and my eyes are soaking it all in.

If you guys know, Bre from Rooms for Rent, then you know her style is fabulous! So we were thrilled to send her a quart of stain to try out.  Here's what Bre had to say!

Rustic Pine Table Makeover

Have you noticed Anthro and Ethan Allen are showing furniturepieces with an uber distressed look? You will be surprised to learn this look is just one additional step beyond what I typically show you.

It makes for a quick layered look and a lot less work.Ready?

You guys! I have been DIYing ;-) to share this news with your for the looongest time! Seriously, it's been killing me not to tell you. I'm rolling on the ground cycling my legs like an 80's aerobic video, that's how excited I am. So last year we heard from the designer at Magnolia Home [the home company that creates the Fixer Upper masterpieces] and they wanted to see our products! The stars were literally shining on us. 

Chip & Joana Gains stars to be exact! Ironically we were in Texas at the time, so we were able go there and see the famed Magnolia store! You know, from Fixer Upper! 

French Country Coffee Table Tutorial

I like to share with you guys the idea of buying a raw piece of furniture, brand new, and customizing it. I feel like this is the perfect option in a few scenarios. When want a high-end look you don't want to pay for, when you really want solid-wood furniture, you can't find something you like in stores. Once you buy that raw piece of furniture, go to blogs to find the look you like and how to achieve it!

This was a custom piece of furniture, loosely inspired by Anthropologie's Betelline Coffee Table! We love the all-wood take on this beautiful coffee table! Learn how to get the look!

DIY Weathered Wood Beads

Have you seen the nautical wood beads that were for sale from Pottery Barn and Anthropologie? Well this week's DIY post is from a new bloggy friend, Kendra from Momtique, and she's made the perfect knock off. 

Faux Chippy Pine Farmhouse Table

This week's post is from a friend and Weatherwood stockist friend, April James from April James Interiors. April is a professional, certified painter and I always learn new techniques from her. She takes a brand new pine table and turns it into an authentic-looking antique. I don't know anyone who do make a brand new piece look like a textured, chippy old piece of farmhouse furniture better than April! 

Barnwood-Looking Cedar Beams

Don't you think it's funny how your eyes are attracted to what you want? Whether it's something menial like a possession or item, or something deeper like a spouse or child. I seem to find myself paying attention to different things nowadays. I wonder if this means a mark in time or a fork in the road? I will let you know if, what I have my eye on, I achieve! 

This week's project is a simple makeover with a whole lot of room appeal. When you need to stain a wood that begins really red or orange, it's very difficult to cover that original wood tone. Here's how to do it right! Ready?

Nautical Pine Desk Makeover

Hey lovely ladies! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, or Happy Which-Ever-Holiday-You-Celebrate. I spent Christmas with my cousins in Florida this year. Now we are at Coco Beach, Fla this week for my birthday, which is the day after Christmas. That usually makes it hard to get away each year, but this time we took off to the coast for a mini-vacay. Today's makeover comes from a professional furniture rescuer, Refind Design by Coco Claire.

Rustic Live Edge Walnut Slab

Heart. The beating drum pumping life blood into all living organisms. Even wood! What you are witnessing above is the heart of a Walnut tree. I know this, because when my stain hits the heart of any tree, you see a beautiful purple hue.
