I was so inspired last week by the burlap wreaths that Sharon
from Elizabeth & Co. created that I had to make one!
Sharon has been nicknamed "The Queen of Wreaths"
and if you check out her blog you will see why.
I just happened to see her Spring wreath post a few hours before I was heading to Michaels.
Talk about perfect timing!
This project was my favorite part of the construction of the cabin.
Building the kitchen cabinets from salvaged barnwood!
A quick story on the barnwood.
The wood was milled right up the road from us by a neighbors dad.
It was used to build one of his barns in the mid 1900s.
His dad passed away a couple of years ago, well into his 90s.
The barn was starting to collapse and our sweet neighbor asked us if we wanted the wood.
Are you kidding me? Of course we wanted it!
There was only one catch, we had to take the barn apart piece by piece and denail the wood.
What a wonderful blessing for us and it keeps his dads barn living on.
More flooring...
We created all of our flooring from lumber. Some purchased, some salvaged from a home remodel.
The upstairs floor was made from 2x4s to create a 2" thick floor
and the downstairs floor was made from 1" thick boards.
You can see how we made the flooring HERE.
This is the only pic I have of the downstairs flooring.
We used 1x6 inch boards for the back bedroom and bathroom floor
and 1x10 inch boards for the living/main room floor.
