Old-looking wood is so trendy at the moment, especially farmhouse style. While making new wood look old might seem complicated, it’s actually not that difficult.

We found quite a few distressed wood tutorials that are very well explained so even a beginner shouldn’t have any problems following them. You wouldn’t guess how many different methods there are for distressing wood.

One of the best parts of modern life with Pinterest is all the inspiration, ideas and tutorials available for renovating and decorating our homes.

I’m the type of person that really needs to see examples to get my own creative juices flowing. It’s so wonderful how many bloggers share their home renovations and DIY projects on their blogs and on Pinterest.

Of course Pinterest is our favorite way of browsing for ideas, and we always try to click through and support the bloggers on their blogs.

We’re so blown away (and often rather jealous – but in a good way) of all the amazing DIY projects that other bloggers tackle and share. We love to support and link to their work.

You’ll find lots of those awesome DIY projects on our Pinterest DIY Board.
