How to Make Rustic Letter Blocks

If you've been following along you may have read about the driftwood hanging fish I made as a vacation souvenir.  Another gift shop item I was in love with were these rustic wooden letter blocks. They were made from rough hewn wood and looked easy enough to make and very much my Farmhouse style. 

Shipping Label Stenciled Buffalo Check Cubbies

The idea for this project came to me when I  found this old cubbie shelf I had hidden in the basement. 
I began by removing the top panel and sliding out the back panel of the box. 

Repurposed String Holder

Today it's another knock off project with my own repurposed twist from a popular website. I gathered my yard sale finds... and I got to work creating my own version of a string holder I saw for sale in a recent email. 

Driftwood Vase for Flowers

I was inspired by a vase I saw in Home Goods today. It reminded me that I had a huge bowl of driftwood leftover from another project this summer. 

I loved the idea of this project but not the painted finish. I decided to make my project with natural driftwood. I began by collecting all my vacation driftwood and a glass jar. The jar you use should have straight sides for this project.

DIY Driftwood Hanging Fish

I love using driftwood to create summer projects and my recent beach vacation was the perfect place to start.
I spent hours walking the beach and collecting driftwood on the ocean in Montauk while my husband fished.

I got a great tan and a bag-full of beautiful driftwood. While I was perusing the gift shops, I saw a hanging driftwood fish and knew I could create a similar one with all the great driftwood I just collected. 

When I returned home from vacation I dumped out my treasures on a table and lined the driftwood up in the shape of a fish.

DIY Farmhouse Shelf and Towel Bar

I saw the cutest little Farmhouse shelf on an Antique Farm House email and I wanted to build one just like it for myself. 
I began with the front of a drawer front and a long handle. I attached the handle to the bottom of the shelf to use as a towel bar then using a piece of wood saved from another project, I built a ledge to hang the shelf to the wall. 

I painted the shelf with 2 coats of Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint. You can find a Fusion Mineral Paint dealer near you by following this link.
The piece on the back was just perfect for this project. It has 3 holes for screws that will attach this shelf to the wall. Just goes to show, you should never throw out anything you might be able to use again later!
I had a wire basket in my stash that matched the towel bar perfectly!
