If you've seen the online Farmhouse sight that sells beautiful home accessories and decorations, you'll recognize these houses.
They are the cutest little primitive rustic Christmas village. 
The minute I opened the email and saw them I knew I could make a dupe myself with reclaimed wood and save the $49.00 each!
If you have a saw, and a 2x4" piece of wood you can create these adorable houses in no time. 

Are you ready for a little Christmas? 
Over the years on Homeroad I've literally made hundreds of DIY Christmas decorations. 
Of all the fun projects I've made, Christmas trees are my favorites...

Lavender smells so beautiful and little sachets for your drawer makes everything smell wonderful. They make great Mother's Day gifts too! 

This is an idea I borrowed and tweaked from a local artist who makes and sells beautiful decoupaged jewelry dishes.

If you've followed along this month you probably saw the Christmas wreath I made from a broken clock. Today I'm using a few more pieces of that same clock to make another fun holiday wreath. 

It began with a lucky find at the thrift store. A box of small white ornaments that could definitely be used for something! It didn't take long for me to figure out what that was. 

If you saw the pile of red dominoes I found at the thrift store recently then you know I'm full of ideas for them!

This was one of my lucky thrift store finds of the season! 

My daughter and I saw these cute coasters in Marshalls and I knew in a minute they'd be my next DIY project! 
I knew I had some small pieces of wood from an old game in the workshop that would be perfect.

I've been working on more snow globe style snowmen for an upcoming craft fair. 

This fun vintage angel is a cinch to make!

Today marks my 5th craft fair at our local library. 

I'm having a lot of fun making rustic trays  for the holiday season. 

Every year I make a new Christmas ornament using Scrabble tiles. 

Update!  Please read all about this gorgeous project by visiting this post.

These Christmas trees are so fun to make!

Christmas is 12 short weeks away...



Now that I have your attention, I'm reposting a very popular ornament post from a few years ago.

My first thought was to find vinyl Christmas words online  to use for my project.
But in the end I decided to hand paint them.  
I used scraps of driftwood I found on the beach. I just love hunting for driftwood scraps on the beach.



I gave them a quick coat of white spray paint then hand painted Christmas words with a Sharpie oil-based paint marker.

I gave them a quick sanding for a distressed, rustic look.

I drilled holes in the corners of each block and wrapped waxed twine around the ends and through the holes of each block. 

I finished some off with a flannel ribbon and a DIY rusty mini clothespin.

Remember when I promised you'd see this lamp again?

These signs are a combination of 2 different  thrift store finds. 

These beautiful glittered spring stars were easy to make.
