Want to give your home a classic feel, but can't afford antiques? Make your own vintage-inspired pieces of with the help of Wood, Craft, Love. This book contains 17 simple projects that will give your home the retro-chic style you've been craving. Best of all, every project can be completed in two days or less.

Some people shy away from wood crafts because they seem difficult, but you don't have to be a carpenter to make the projects in Wood, Craft, Love. Visit your local craft store where you can stock up on wood items like frames, chests, ornaments, beads, and more. Author and designer Peggy Couch has tons of ideas on how to turn off-the-rack items into beautiful pieces of home decor using finds from thrift shops, garage sales, and other outlets. 

Wood, Craft, Love features step-by-step instructions and full color photos to break down each craft into easy tasks. Learn how to make furniture, fixtures, bookends, frames, boxes, and more. Some of my favorite projects from this collection are the French Provincial Stool, Stylish Hurricanes, and Moveable Storage Crate, but you'll find your own design to love in this collection.

The ideas in this book call for basic tools and supplies such as paint, stencils, decoupage, and adhesives. In fact, you probably have all the materials you need to begin creating right away. Turn that flea market purchase into a family keepsake with the tips in Wood, Craft, Love. With a few supplies and your imagination, you can give your home an entirely new look.
