Besides the faux fireplace I shared this weekend, I fake fall with scented candles here in FL. What's your favorite fall scent? A pile of freshly raked leaves, pumpkin spice, a warm fire in the fireplace? ⁠⁠

Upcycle a plain candle with a little birch on the outside. Need the tutrorial? Find it on my website, H2OBungalow and search birch! ⁠⁠

Oh, yes I DO need a fireplace, even if I live in FL! One of my favorite builds...ever! Tutorial on my website, H2OBungalow. #fauxfireplace #DIYfireplace

I’m committing to finishing the dining table and bench I’ve been working on… this weekend! But…first I have to choose a finish-or actually a combination of finishes. After testing several out I’m leaning towards an old tried and true method of layering steel wool and vinegar solution over wood accelerator (the last two on the right). It gives a lot of brown & gray depth to the wood. Last will be a lime wash or glaze. Peek at my DIY bench and the chairs I picked out 👉 and tell me what you think!

It’s the right time of year for a tree themed wall mural! Paint 1x2s a muted gold for a frame.

I fell in love with this tree mural for The Mill Place one of the North House Lodge locations in VT.

It’s a good time for a fireplace update! Take a peek 👉at what I did with one of the fireplaces at the North House Lodge in VT.
.
I don’t have a tutorial for this one but there is one for the faux brick and German Schmear I did on the faux chimneys find it on my website at H2OBungalow.com.

She’s got legs! ⁠
. ⁠
I got this far in a few hours- I still need to attach the tops, router the edges and apply about 5 coats of finish and sealer. The finish will be gorgeous 😍 Can’t wait to share my new coastal dining table…soon!⁠

Throwing it back to this rustic antler coaster set I made for the North House Lodge a few years back. It’s super easy to build an open box to hold them.. or not. 🦌 Isn’t it perfect for adding fall decor? ⁠

It’s a lovely day to start building our new dining room table! NOT - It was the same thing when I built the last kitchen table too - we worked under a pop up planing wood In drizzling cold rain. At least I’m making progress and get to play with my biscuit joiner too! Yes- I’m adding both pocket holes and biscuits. But there’s a reason and I’ll share it later!

Stop wasting glue! It’s #tiptuesday Friends 😁
.
After using, wash out the cap, put a square of a plastic (cut ziplock bag) over the top and screw it back on. Your glue won’t dry out and you won’t have to toss it!

Say goodbye.⁠
.⁠
To the way this room looks today. Out with the huge dark ceiling fan, the ginormous chairs which were an awesome Craigs List find way back, the glass table and the waterfall dressers in the back. ⁠
⁠
Get ready to say hello to a whole new look! ...coming soon! ⁠
