Here is something you can do with an old piece of wood and some wine staves.
 |
| I bought this old piece of wood with this metal holder thingy and these old wine staves. |
 |
| This is what happens when you put them together. I was thinking what a cute bud vase this makes. |
 |
| Yep cut bud vase. |
 |
| Of course I had to paint the wood white. I know shocker! I did however leave the metal holder rustic. Added some faux flowers. |
 |
| Hung them on each side of my old french window in the kitchen. |
 |
| I think they add a little somethin somethin to my vignette above the little pantry cabinet. |
 |
| I did find a smaller wreath to hang on the new mirror I made out of the stacked frames. |
 |
| It gives a little texture to the mirror and it does not take away from the mirror or frames. |
 |
| Ugh! We got over two feet of snow in the last week and more to come this coming week. The temps are going to plummet to single digits starting tonight and then wind chills of -40 below. Why do I live here?!!!!! Spring Spring where are you?!!! Happy Friday. Have a good weekend. |

Hello Kris! We need snow here in Colorado! The mountains finally got a few feet (and unfortunately avalanches)! Loved this wine stave. Had to Google it! Those look like plumbing parts but more durable that hold it together! love it! I am going to share on my Weekend Edit tomorrow! laura
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh love these!!! They look fabulous hung above your pantry cabinet. We are expecting snow and freezing cold temps too. I am ready for spring.....

Love the smaller wreath! Why don't you move down to warmwe Oklahoma? LOL
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! And so handy to add seasonal flowers there through the year. I bet you enjoy having them in your kitchen. That is a lot of snow but your house is such a cheery place to be while surrounded by deep snow. If I know you, your mind is already planning additions to your garden when spring does come...and it will!
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute!!!! I love the snow photos! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea
ReplyDeleteKris, I too am so ready for spring. I am sick of the wind, snow and cold. It's too depressing on top of everything else. I love your cute craft project. Stay warm and safe. Blessings to you and your family, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a lot of snow!! Looks a lot like my view. Your creative flower vases are lovely. I think they look perfect on the wall! Stat warm. xxoo
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool. I like the way you left the metal holders black. They match the knobs on the cabinet. Good call. It all goes together so well. I love that basket too. All that snow. Wow! Send some over here. I'll take it! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Kris! Great idea and Ilove the white flowers you used. We go snow, not as much as you did but when we went out yesterday to shovel, it was bitterly cold, so much colder than January was. We can get through this my friend.
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness, that is a lot of snow! You will certainly be glad to see spring. The new smaller wreath is perfect for your mirror...shows more reflection. The bud vases are adorable. You find the best stuff! Stay warm. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's like they were made for each other! How cool. They look great. And I like your wreath for your mirror, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow! I don't envy you. Y'all are getting slammed! I'm just about over winter too. Of course, we get teased with springlike weather but it will turn back to cold and rainy next week with possible sleet and snow. The good thing is, we'll be back to 50-60s the following week. I'm just ready for flowers and greenery again!
Hugs and warm thoughts,
Cecilia
Wow! I just love those Kris! And so very you! Gorgeous! The smaller wreather is perfect on the mirror too. Gosh, what a huge amount of snow - don't envy you that. Take care, hugs x
ReplyDeleteOK. Kris, a bummer about the snow. 40 below, yikes and poor Buddy going out.
ReplyDeleteI love these so much. Painting them white and leaving the rustic metal is a great touch.
Stay warm my friend,
Cindy
Great Job! So cute.
ReplyDeleteOur city is shut down if we get half an inch of snow, LOL! THat's a lot! I absolutely LOVE your project. The bud vases are so cute! You could sell a ton of them here....everyone here likes things like that: shabby chic, cute, yet practical!
ReplyDeleteThat wreathe looks much better. Very cute with the bud vases. I don't drink wine and had never even heard of wine staves.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
How cute, Kris! But OMG, that snow!!its not going anywhere any time soon, now is it? Brrrr!
ReplyDeleteLove the smaller wreath it’s so cute. Your decor is so my style!! You and I are sisters from other mothers'
ReplyDeleteI envy your snow as we’ve only had a few inches here and there. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
How pretty are these bud vase holders you made! So is the old piece of wood the wine stave...from an old wine barrel? Very creative re-do. Hope you're staying warm and cozy inside. This Arctic blast stinks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! You know I love putting old items together to create something new! Very creative and the perfect addition to your lovely vignette! The snow is beautiful but dang! That's cold! Bundle up and think warm thoughts! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Kris! I hadn't heard of a "stave" either, but they are definitely "cute"!!! Amazing how a piece of wood can be put to such good use! I can see these holding real flowers during the summer months... and I like the smaller wreath on the mirror too.. I knew you'd find one! We are having spring-like weather here in Oregon.. it's such a teaser though, as we sometimes can get a foot of snow in March! ugh.... have a great weekend! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI love the idea. A little history along with the decor. :-) And of course I love anything with flowers.
ReplyDeleteWe are cold, cold, cold here! -20 wind chills.
Do you have to dress Buddy in a jacket to go out? Our Molly hated any sweaters or coats we put on her, but we had to do it. Once we got out and going for her little walk she did not care, but she hated it at first. I loved her one sweatshirt, it had a hood too, she was so cute in it.
oh yeh, it looks super cold up there! I totally love that old piece of wood with the staves. Perfect choice of lovely "springish" flowers! and that multiple framed mirror, what a great idea. packs a big punch! stay warm, Kris!!
ReplyDeleteGreat little project..and UGH on the snow---and ICE...yikes, been fighting with it all week. So nice to have the internet to look at warmer things...LOL. Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the bud vase holders - so charming with the contrast of wood and glass. Cold and snowy here in WI too! Brrrr. Hoping for a warm-up soon. Jane
ReplyDeleteI love the way the new flower vases look in the kitchen. It's a nice way to brighten things up. We're in the same boat as you with the snow. We got 17 inches of snow and then it melt for about 3 days. We're now getting today 3-5 inches of snow. I can't wait for April to come. Hope you stay warm and cozy and have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris. That is the sweetest idea. It is a simple little touch that is perfect. I have seen on the news about all the snow you are getting. It does look very pretty, though, surrounding your little cottage. Aren't you lucky that Mother Nature color coordinated the snow to your pallet?..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love it..so pretty..it all looks great and the little wreath for the mirror, too.. Wow...now thats some cold temperatures..hope your power stays put.for sure. I know yall are tired of it..its beautiful, to look at from my sofa..thanks. Some areas in NC & SC got a good bit of snow..we got rain/sleet and snow and then as the song goes, "the snow turned into rain"..bah, humbug.. :0( .. Have a blessed week and stay warm and safe. Thanks for sharing always and entertaining us with beauty... :0)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love these, Kris! They look great with your French window; like they belong together. You'll have fun playing with these through the seasons. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteWe also have a lot of snow, spring is on it`s way...
Hugs, Ida
Those are adorable. They give you a pop of spring at least until you look out the window. It's not spring here.
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation and I love where you hung them!!! Perfect!!
Hugs,
Debbie
