DCWV Stateside - Utah State Pallet Wood Sign

New products from DCWV?

Yes, please!!

A hot ongoing trend is a bit of State-Love. Everyone loves to show a little State pride, and now DCWV has designed a full line of State themed products, called Stateside.

Yes, I live in California, but Utah is where I am from.

.... and yes making a Utah shape is quite a bit easier than making a California shape. My incredible husband rushed to cut me some reclaimed pallet wood when I text him the other day. He was also sweet enough to glue it together so it was ready for me when I got home from work, to craft with.

I gave it a quick stain spray and it was ready to add these cute heart prints from the DCWV Stateside 12x12 Stack.

I placed them over the general area of our hometown, but you get the point!

This cute little State decor matched perfectly with our reclaimed pallet/chicken wire frame, metal V, and some plants.

Reclaimed Window Family Frame

Reclaimed Window - Family Frame

My brother has the most amazing family-in-law! They are so generous and welcoming and I am so lucky they treat me like family as well.

Unfortunately, about 7 months ago, their home was partially destroyed by smoke and was unlivable. They lost almost everything in the house, and had to tear the house apart and redo everything. 

I was able to take their family pictures last winter, and I thought it would be a heart-felt Christmas gift to make them some new home decor, and include all of their beautiful faces. Not that they need to be reminded, but this is a daily reminder that people you love are the most important things in life, not material items. 

I was able to get my hands on this beautiful old window, added a new coat of paint and distressed it.

I added some beautiful, and perfectly stated, DCWV Wall Transfers.

I loved this 'DCWV Life Is Sweet' transfer, so I put it front and center, as the main focus for the frame.

I printed out a few of my favorite pictures from the shoot, and secured them to some fiber board with ModPodge. I screwed some hooks into the frame and hung the images on them. This way, as the family grows, they can replace them with new pictures.

For the rest of the wording and the leafy decals, I used the DCWV Remember To Cherish, DCWV Winter Garden Peel & Stick Wall Accents, and the DCWV Swirly Branches Peel & Stick Wall Accents. They all coordinated so well!
