DIY Farmhouse Noodle Board
First, let me say, I had no idea what a noodle board was until I saw them on Pinterest so don't feel badly if you don't know.
I would be especially careful with this, do not lay the noodle board on a surface with a pilot light or a hot surface.
The first thing I did was to measure my stove top.
I'm getting a new stove but most regular kitchen stoves are approximately
the same size.
Be sure to measure your stove to be sure.
I laid out as many boards for the size I needed and used cross boards to
attach them all together using a nail gun.
At this point they still had the points on the end of the
pickets.
As with all my projects, the tools and paint I use are only a suggestion, you can use a hammer and nails instead.
Next,
using a small circular saw, I cut the ends of the pickets off.
The next step is to stain the wood.
I'm using a Rustoleum product that I bought at Home Depot.
Just brush on the stain and wipe it back with a rag.
Now I had to decide on a decoration for the top.
Next, I'm using a transfer design from ReDesign by Prima.
I'm choosing the Organic Farms transfer that came in a large pack of many
different transfers.
Just lay it down where you want it and rub the back of the
transfer.
The transfer looks great on the wood, there was a tiny bit of plastic around the lettering but as soon as I sealed the surface it disappeared.
Next, I searched my stash for handles.
I had some from a sample haul I was lucky enough to get a couple of years
ago.
The problem was that none of them matched so
I painted them with an oil rubbed bronze paint
and let it dry overnight.
These extra large handles look great!
I placed the board on my stove and it looks great!
It gives me a little bit more counter space for a candle or a bowl of fruit.
I have another great use for this board too...
I put it on top of the ottoman in my living room so it can be used to
hold drinks and snacks.
Using it as a tray gives you so much flexibility!
Love the buffalo check garland on the mantel?

Please be sure to be careful with how you use the noodle board, a hot
stove could cause a fire.

Thank you to ReDesign for sending me the transfer. All opinions are my own.
