DIY Kitchen Island Cart

I love having more space in my kitchen for prepping. But when my boys and hubby want to help out there is not much room left. I looked on Craigslist and other stores and could not find ...»
anything I liked. One day looking online at the blogs I love. I came across an island at Ourvintagehomelove.blogspot that I totally fell in love with. So I thought why not just make one. Since I did not have old reclaimed barn wood, it was off to Lowes we went.

Rustic Christmas Tree

I knew once I saw a picture of a tree in an old wash tub, I had to do the same thing. My husband found our old tub under our house. I cleaned it up and sat it in a corner of my dining room till now. We found our tree in Sparta, NC. My boys usually pick out our tree, this year my oldest picked this beauty. We decorated this beautiful tree with white lights pinecombs, white, gold and clear ornaments. I also took a canvas drop cloth and ripped into strips. Then tied (knots) the strips ...»
together to use as my garland. I am so in love with my tree.
