I have great news! Much like yesterday, today’s project is…. yup, you guessed it! Easy! Now, I have to admit that I have seen MANY, MANY versions of this particular diy tree stump table.

The majority of stumps that you’ll see circulating the web are going to show that you should take off the bark from your stump or stumps. Β

    While I do like this method I wanted to try something a little different and keep it as natural as possible.

    Like with anything in nature, you need to make sure it has been completely “sanitized” from mischievous varmints in nature. I had originally thought I would use these stumps for bar stools, but decided against it at the last minute. When they were first cut down I sprayed them (probably excessively!) with a termite preventative, and then they sat outside in this recent cold weather. I was very confident when I brought them in that I did not have anything to worry about.

    As always, I HIGHLY encourage you to litter, I mean, decorate your home with nature, but just always be careful of what you are bringing indoors. Cleaning, lightly sanding and/or sanitizing for bugs should always be done prior to bringing them in! πŸ™‚

    Plus, layers are always a good thing! Don’t you love how awesome these tree slices look on top of the stumps? Eek! So, soooo, so  in LOVE πŸ™‚

    Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of t Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of this amazing challenge! If you haven't noticed... I've been using a lot of warm tones as much as I can. I tend to be a very cold-natured person so during the winter months, I do my very best to think all things summer to get me through! Plus, doesn't this seahorse just look so warm and toasty in its environment?

How do I even explain? They're just a wonderful combination of tropical yet southern, but exotic yet familiar. Happy, playful, soothing, and fragrant. πŸ₯°

    Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of th Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of these gorgeous insects buzzing around my azaleas in vibrant shades of magenta every spring. With that being said, I just couldn't resist capturing a similar illustration to remind me of those delectable and much warmer days.
    Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of my favorites is the Luna Moth. Those lime greens always have me swooning! Now, if I only I could see one in person... that would definitely make my day! πŸ’š
    Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like to think/dream about the beautiful creatures that decide to visit us once it gets warmer. We've had a lot of cold days this winter in NC (not super typical) so I figured the use of warm colors on these butterflies would be the most ideal fit! Hope you're staying warm and cozy ❀
