Hi, guys!

Welcome to another month of Int’l Bloggers Club Challenge!! Asking yourself what is this about? A group of bloggers around the world teamed together to share our crafts, traditions and how’s life in different parts of the planet. Last month we decided to take a huge challenge and did a post on how to styling flat lay photographs and boy, you may have no idea what it is about but it was a fun one.

This month we thought it would be great to share something to do with wood, so here we come!

Raise your hand if you have scrap wood laying around your house too. Good! Now I feel better because I take home every single piece of wood I find curbside, or in this case, my hubby brought me something.

Like this.

It was part of a destroyed Ikea table my sweet husband brought one day, if you want to read the story you will find it in this post of Christmas decor with scrap wood.

Well, it had stickers on it and you know Ikea furniture is not known by having the best quality wood, so the white spots were where the particle wood was damaged by water and it had a bit of mold.

But I was not going to spend any time sanding or trying to fix it, so I just flip it, and I had this.

It wasn’t super great either but not as bad as the other side. I used some sandpaper to smooth the holes and bumps.

Easy peasy.

Then I did a mix of colors and some paint additives to get the color I was looking for. You will find the materials I used and more details on my blog, link at the bottom.

The last thing was adding a stencil with the words.
