Knock on Wood: DIY Wood Decor
Natural wood brings an earthy and warm element to any home decor. But most of us shy away from working with these natural beauties. Did you know that you can easily craft wood decor with items right in your own backyard or a quick trip to the hardware store? This tutorial on how to make a wood clock by Derek and Lauren of design*sponge caught my eye. I love the clean simplicity of the clock, making it so modern for any home today.
