Building a house is a great way to accumulate scrap wood! I made these reversible blocks from building our last house, simply by painting 2×4’s in various seasonal colours and free-handing the letters. I outlined the letters, leaves and leaf veins with a blade before staining it (helps make them “pop”). The more banged up and distressed they are, the better they look (in my humble opinion anyway!).


Sure glad I was thinking!
