Giveaway: A Well-Crafted Home: Inspiration and 60 Projects for Personalizing Your Space

October 16, 2017 by Stefanie Girard

Giveaway: A Well-Crafted Home: Inspiration and 60 Projects for Personalizing Your Space

Leave a comment in today’s post by Wednesday October 25th, 2017 and you are in the running for this super stylish crafting book.

Open to U.S. residents only please.

More about the book from the publisher:

A beautiful, practical book for both aspiring makers and seasoned crafters. Here are 60 projects for high-quality furniture, textiles, and accessories to enjoy all through the house–plus all the techniques you need for dyeing or sewing fabric, cutting leather, antiquing mirrors, working with wood, and much more.

A Well-Crafted Home includes simple, creative details that will tailor a space to your taste. More than just “DIY” crafts, these carefully designed projects call for good materials–like linen, leather, and wood–so the finished product will last you a lifetime. Ranging from beginner to more advanced, each item elevates a room in a way you’d never expect: a large-scale painting with an effortless “dot” design looks like a modern piece of art, flax linen bedding sewn with a few easy seams is gorgeous way to set off the bed (and is more affordable than you would think), and a copper pipe rack for hanging clothes is so pretty, you’ll want to keep it on display. 

Looking for more ways to upcycle furniture? Check out these Upcycling Furniture Books we found on Amazon.

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
