Reclaimed Stenciled Rustic X Console

I've been dying to build this console ever since Ana White posted the plans. I used all reclaimed wood for this piece, it's composed entirely of stud-grade 2x4's and 2x6's. Even though ...»
reclaimed wood is tough to work with (warped & splits easily) it was totally worth it! I sanded, stained (1 coat of Minwax's Golden Oak) then stenciled the top with grey paint in a paisley pattern. I topped it with wax and cannot be more pleased!

  • I love mixing different fabrics, it makes a room so cozy.
  • These finials were $5. Of course, I waited for them to be 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby. I used wooden rings to hang my curtains.

Window Treatment Ideas

Window Treatments make all the difference. These drapes are in my living room. I used cheap $5 iron finials from Hobby Lobby as drapery hardware!

Can anyone suggest what a good replacement is for this 70's wooden valance?

I have added granite counters, am restaining the cabinets in the same color and will add some type of backsplash when I finish the rest. I would also like to have a pendant light hanging from the window.

what do you do when the brick veneer is pulling away from the front of the house?

The house is about 34 years old and has a large crack in the front that starts about 5 feet up from the ground. The cracks are also showing up on the inside near the front windows on the first and second floor.
