Drift wood home decor

Just another day at the beach...

A rough, windy, but beautiful morning on the lake with the skyline in the distance.

So I have had this stick ... Not just any old stick, but one that broke off a tree at some point and found it way into our glorious lake, I'm pretty sure it has a story to tell about the journey it took to end up on the beach all worn and bleached. I found it on a walk with my boys. I have had it propped up in a corner for years, always knowing it was meant for greatness. Well, today was that day. After bobbing along in the lake until it was smooth and worn, then sitting in a corner for years, then hanging on my wall waiting to be turned into something good, it has become a wonderful piece of art. I love that because the stick is not straight the pictures hang a bit off, I find there is perfection in the imperfect:) I hope you are inspired to make a little something with things you find and they make you happier! This does it for me!


Enjoy this glorious day!

  1. Great piece all around!
    I like the off kilter look of the pic too, life isn't perfect it's worn in the right ways.
    There's a woman up in Geneva who makes these great pieces of art with the drift wood that she finds. We picked up a bunch on the beach & dropped it off when she wasn't around like little fairies.
    Happy Treasure Hunting & Creating!
