resourceful






As a sign of the times, handy husband and I have decided to be resourceful and put his skills on the marketplace.  We are going to be selling these headboards.  I saw one similar to this and asked if he could make one from our pasture fence rails as our headboard.  Isn't it fantastic, rustic, and the perfect thing to fit into this "reclaimed wood" trend we are now seeing?  The wood has a beautiful patina from being in the weather for so many years.  We will market them "as is" or with a custom quote, date, or word that I can paint on the front.







This slatted elephant sign is hanging in William's room now.  Handy husband made it for him for his birthday last year.  As a result of the strong shove from a friend with a design blog, we have been convinced that we need to sell these.  We'll be opening an Etsy store in the next couple of weeks and make these along with other signs with different animals. 





Anyone in the market for home decor?  Spread the word.
