You have to check out this furniture makeover project. I transformed a workbench in the Gardenhouse Studio that had a plywood top. After applying Wise Owl Paint as the base and stamping medium with this IOD Stamp - wow!
I get a little DIY envy when I see people using real weathered barn wood in their home decor. It's not easy to find old barn wood - if you can find it at all.
But I can recreate the same look by repurposing furniture using Wise Owl Paint and the Iron Orchid Designs Barnwood Plank Decor Stamp. I'll walk you through all the steps I took in this DIY Furniture video, but you can use the barn wood stamp in many craft projects.
(Since you're here already, do me a huge favor and like and subscribe to my Youtube channel!)
