I didn’t need much for this fun project, just a few easy tools and supplies!  The kind men in the HD lumber department assisted me in cutting the wood required for this DIY!

assembled-projectOnce assembled, I used a few paint and and stain supplies to bring my character to life.  Since I love to decorate with neutrals and antiques, the obvious choice was to create a vintage snowman, perfect for Our Vintage Nest!  I love the colors and names of these paints from Americana!

I used corner braces to adorn the corners of the snowman and used an oil-based Sharpie marker (in metallic gold) for a vintage touch.  I absolutely love the way the Minwax Classic Gray stain took to this pine wood.  The grain details are my favorite!  They just stocked the front shelves with Christmas decorations at my local store, so I was able to grab a few faux greens to make it look even more festive!

Our new home is still in the finishing stages, so I brought my completed project over to stage it in a few of my favorite places.  The gray stain and stacked stone are a perfect match, don’t you think?  :)  I used some left over stain cloth to adorn the top of the hat brim… Layers make everything better!

    Can you tell those of us that missed the workshop what size wood, materials and directions so we can create in our own at home?

    Thanks!
    Jessica

    Super cute! Can I ask what you used the sharpie on? And what do you have it hanging from on your door?

    I missed the class but I am going to make one!!

      Hi Kim… Sorry for my late reply, we were moving into our home around the time you left this comment. The gold sharpie marker was used for painting the corner brackets, they were galvanized in the package. The door hanger is hanging my a thick rope and a metal door hanger was used that goes over the top of your door. Hope that helps!

About Alicia

Alicia of Our Vintage Nest

My name is Alicia Armstrong; thank you for being here!
Ever since I can remember, I've been exposed to interior decorating. Watching my mom decorate and antique shop is a vivid childhood memory. Since starting this blog in 2016, my taste in decor has evolved to a more refined style. I've never leaned toward trendy, but more of a classic and timeless style. I enjoy shopping my home and changing things up to update a space. I love working on relatively simple projects and seeing a piece of furniture or room transform on a small budget. We purchased a new home four years ago and while there's nothing that needs to be renovated, I'm constantly finding something to enhance. I've painted several rooms, added shiplap, designed built-ins for a homework station and updated builder grade tile since moving here in 2016.
I've been married to my husband, Chris for 20 years. He works as an IT engineer for a small business. We have two children and reside in NW Arkansas. We are a Christian family who desires to live a life with Christ at the center. We have two animals, a Golden Retriever, Paisley and a blue point Ragdoll, Angel. They definitely complete our family and bring us a lot of joy!
I'm happy you've found Our Vintage Nest, where I share inspiration for all things home. I hope to inspire you to love your home, re-purpose what you have through simple DIY and learn some practical design tips along the way.
