It's been a busy summer once again at the Reynolds household. Obviously, if I haven't blogged in forever! Took a wonderful family vacation to NYC, remodeled what once was the scrapbook room, then office, and now, and what will stay, the guest/office room. Got my parents moved into their new beautiful home. Gutted their yard and basically started over, and lastly found some time to work on some DIY projects as well. I have been working on a few summer craft projects that were super easy. Pinterest is my new best friend. It has so many awesome recipes, how-to's, and so many other cool ideas. Lots of people "pin", but I actually give it a try! Here is one project that I did. This little rustic box can be used for so many things. Here is just 2 that I thought I would use!
This box was stained using vinegar, tea, and steel wool. It'a a very "natural" look. I added some silverware in the mason jars. This would be a great thing to have for your next bbq!

This next box I stained with Minwax dark walnut, then spray painted it with Rustoleum White spray paint. After it was completely dried, I used my sander to give it a "old" and "worn" look to it. Added some flowers, and there ya have it!
Both of these are very easy, and inexpensive to make. Would be great Christmas gifts! After all, Christmas will be here before you know it!
Enjoy!
