I’m sorry but I do not see how these are easy DIYs. You would have to have major wood crafting skills to do these projects.
Interesting, I guess it’s a matter of opinion as I saw most of these being relatively easy in just measure, cut, sand, and stain. It would all depend – I guess – on a person’s comfort level with power tools.
You gave me great ideas for a new storefront that I’m doing and I did not know the concept that the time now I do thank you so much
I agree! Love it all but I cannot build like that
Thanks FOR Sharing👍🏼👍🏼♥️
Hi Crystal!! Thank You for all of your Amazing ideas!! I love the oval farmhouse table and chairs that are by the open farmhouse shelves(I love the open shelves as well) I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find the oval table and chairs? I have a smaller formal dining room. Would open shelves make it feel even smaller? I am not the best at decorating, but I love the farmhouse decor ideas!! Thanks for your help and inspiration & motivation to make my house a home!!
Hi Shellise, I do not know where you can find the oval table and chairs, unfortunately. In a smaller formal dining room open shelves will allow you to display different items while not taking up as much space as a shelving unit or a cabinet would. However, for a smaller room I would recommend that you keep the shelves on the upper half of the wall only, and only on one wall if it’s a closed in traditional dining room. Thanks, Crystal
