DIY Recycled Framed Wood Wall Art with Monogram (painted and stained)

Our stock pile of wood scraps had been growing significantly. So, in an attempt to repurpose them, and at the same time, create some wall art for our home, I whipped up a little DIY magic. I took several scraps and watered down various paints that we've used in our home. I painted the boards with the watered-down paint for a more "washed" effect. After that, I mounted the painted scraps onto a piece of plywood. Stained some boards for the frame, and then framed the painted boards with the stained boards. The stained trim gave the art piece a more polished look. Then, since I had some scrap left over still from all my angled cuts, I decided to add an "M" for our last name to the piece for a little personalization. And to coordinate a little more, I stained the sides of the "M" and tied it into the frame.To see more: http://designbuildlove.co/pinspired-recycled-wood-wall-art/
