Loved the idea of making art out of the cutting board. What if you drilled holes and inserted metal rods between the pieces. It would look intentional and the rods could be brass, wrought iron or whatever your decor needs
DIY Queen Fia… (😂) your design style always blows my mind! You come up with the best ideas and flips of anyone on RU-vid!!! I’ve said it for years… you deserve your own HGTV show!! Thank you for sharing your talent & time with us every week! Always look forward to Sunday bc I know you’ll have something so inspiring… I myself can do! Sending much love & hugs to you & your beautiful family.
You've got such a great eye for beautiful design. You're always bringing in such stunning pieces I would really love to have your thrift store. As to the cutting board, I love it separated as art. I think it's just naturally fabulous.
Oooooh...I LOVE that broken Crate & Barrel cutting board! I saw a picture on Pinterest of two heavy rustic pieces of wood with a mirror in the opening and hung on a wall. That's an idea. Love the lovely pot you got with the fresh hydrangeas. Great job revamping your entry area too!
I'm currently working on a walnut/resin charcuterie board. The broken C&B board would be perfect for that. As long as you build up good sides with acrylic and use a deep pour epoxy resin, you can color the resin in any accent color you want. It would look amazing. My other thought is to hang the two pieces, apart from each other, like you showed. Very cool.
FIA! DEFINITELY DEFINITELY PUT SOME EPOXY IN BETWEEN THE TWO AND MAKE A CLEAR AREA BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES!!!! And HANG IT UP! Omg would that be beautiful! ♥️♥️ I’d love to see you do that!! ♥️
Yes, the resin in between the block would look absolutely cool and turned art work. Not sure how you’d attach it to the wall but I’m sure you’ll come up with something…you always do 😃🙌🏼(funny right, if you would’ve tried to get that crack on purpose, it probably wouldn’t have happened). All projects were fabulous, thanks for the inspiration on the cane chair. I also have 2 chairs with a cane back and bought 4 casters but your idea of using only 2 in the front ❤👍awesome!!!
Hi Fia! Everything looks just beautiful! I love your perspective when shopping for items to flip. The tip on taking pictures for finding inspiration for your pieces is brilliant! Wonderful video! Thank you!
I think a curved stool would look great in your entry way. Like a half circle. You could even repurpose one of those half circle tables that is in rough shape:)
Hi fia you can use 2 jinga wood pieces and add one on each side of the broken piece of wood and leave the middle open. Every Sunday I look forward to watch your video. 😊😊
I think like your hubby , I too would have passed on the hydrangea planter , I’m not creative like you ! You made it look so elegant & beautiful like all your diys !
Can’t wait to see what you do with the broken butcher block piece. I love both ideas you mentioned the wall decor being separated maybe with a few more chunks broken off on the edges so it’s not so clean cut looking and the idea of the resin.
I love watching your videos! I feel a sort of connection to you because my husband was an AF pharmacist and we were stationed at Wright Pat (my daughter is also a nurse). But beyond that, I love your style and even more so I love learning how to revamp things to make them beautiful and aesthetic for my home.
2 ideas for the butcher block...1. A vein of a colorful epoxy 2. Attach it with metal strips & use it for a small shelf. You could also just hang it with a gap between the 2 pieces OR you can glue & clamp it.
I like the nice storage hooks and shelf and I would love to see what you do with the broken piece you plan to turn into art. I definitely can see something there!
The Crate & Barrel board that was broken can be used as wall art as you mentioned. If each piece is hung with a separation, you can fill the separation with moss or other greens
i could see that cutting board being an amazing wall planter. Top piece secured to wall planter box, (lower piece sucured to the front of the planter box, with live or faux vining plant coming from what appears to be the break!
Glue the cutting board together and use a router to make bow ties to insert across the mend with a differently stained wood to highlight the mend. Either use as chopping board or wall art or add handles and feet for a tray.
Have some very similar cane back chairs I reupolstered with coffee sacks... I loved them... yet they been sitting a year unpurcharchased. Love the idea of castors on front legs. Now to find a fancy pillow sham!
The broken butcher block would be beautiful as wall art But mount them by putting a price of wood to bring the off the wall instead of mounting them flat against the wall. Then add some battery operated lights so the light comes out from.behind the wood.
You are just a genius !!! I would put some epoxy between the two piece of woods … sometime you can see like this blue wave in between wood for table or trays . That would be really neat
So many great ideas! You are so talented! I think I love the cutting board as just two separate pieces - you could also join together with gold accent as the Japanese do -
Love everything but the two dining chairs were my favorite along with the entry hooks and storage stool.oh and the cutting board art split and hung as two, I love it.
I always look forward to your videos! I think the two pieces of the cutting board would look good with a space between and then “framed” with flat black metal against all of the sides. I hope that makes sense! I’m anxious to see what you decide! Barbara in Kent Ohio
If you want the cane to be natural , you could use paint remover on it and get it back to the original color. I would just separate the butcher block and hang it as art on wall and maybe get another organic piece to go with it.
Beautiful as always just my opinion a built-in little bench for that corner will do. Why that bench comes out in length but a built-in coming out but being from wall to wall makes it look clean...
You did a beautiful job on your garage entryway! The chair turned out gorgeous. I would use the cutting board as art the way it is with some short legs to kind of hold it a bit from the wall. Resin would be pretty, but a lot of work too
I love the all black cane chair! I’ve done chairs before. I bought a large roll of the black heavier landscaping fabric (it’s cheaper than the stuff they sell to neatly cover the seat bottom and the same stuff)
Love, love, love these ideas!!! That chair seriously was stunning when you were done with it. I wondered with the broken wood piece about putting it together but making the crack exaggerated with something like gold leaf. I've seen Japanese pottery that has broken, but they put it back together and cover the crack with gold. I think it's called "wabi sabi"...something along the lines of perfecting imperfect. I've also seen tables and countertops advertised in my area where they set it in a metal or wood frame and do little rivers of different resin going across the middle. I live in between Jackson Hole, WY and Sun Valley. A lot of stuff is designed for cabins, ranches, etc. You could modify for more modern. 😁
For the cutting board pieces I was thinking you could maybe put each on a black base with a rod on the bottom holding up each piece and set them on a table or bookcase etc. I'm not sure if I described this right lol I've seen mostly round ones with a hole in them.
Have you ever seen the bentwood thonet wall racks? They’re so expensive $150 + Because they’re vintage. Amber from Amber interiors uses some and they’re sooo beautiful. Wonder if u could replicate something like that. I never really see anything like that in stores. Thanks for another awesome video ❤
