Deciding to create a farmhouse riser, table, bench, shelf, whatever you wish to call it from a farmhouse table, is an awesome idea. Creating a farmhouse home decor would be a dream come true to many people and it would certainly be something we always dreamed of doing. But where to start and what do you need? Here are some farmhouse home decor tips to help you out.
Farmhouse Riser DIY These days, it seems there is not a wood worker around who did not get their start in the home improvement arena by creating a farmhouse riser. So, if you are looking to create a farmhouse riser, farmhouse table, etc., then I have some wonderful ideas for you! But first, you will need to decide whether you want a ready-made farmhouse riser, or if you want to build it yourself from scratch. There are many ideas and plans available on-line. Some are definitely great and some that I would pass. So, be sure to look around and decide which is best for you.
For sure, a farmhouse riser and table or shelving set will add to your farmhouse decor. And a farmhouse pedestal tray would be a nice addition as well. Here are some other great ideas for your DIY challenge.
First off, let’s talk a little about stain. For a wooden farmhouse pedestal tray or table, I recommend using a high quality wood stain. For example, if you like the color of cherry, try a cherry stain. For other colors, try a medium stain such as medium brown.
Then, let’s take a look at some farmhouse riser ideas. As stated above, there are many options available. For example, some farmhouse risers are standalone units. Others are part of a grouping of farmhouse tables and chairs. Still others are part of an existing wood panel. If you are looking for something unique and different, I would recommend checking out some of the free plans that are available online.
Free plans are very useful because they show you exactly what needs to be done in order to create a finished product. You can also see how to do the different things mentioned above. In fact, by looking at free plans, you can get an idea of how to use some of your ideas around the home. For example, a farmhouse footed tray can be used to add height to your home.
You can then take your ideas and run with them. Farmhouse style riser plans are generally easy to build because they require few materials and you don’t have to use professional materials. That is why they are great for people who want to save money. Of course, it is also possible to hire professional materials but if you are a do-it-yourselfer this is a good way to get started. Once you build your farmhouse style riser, you can apply these same techniques to other furniture pieces at home such as a dining table or a rocking chair.
The beauty of these wooden riser ideas is that you can decorate the entire house with them. For example, you can use a wooden tray on a sideboard to match the decor in your living room or bedroom. If you choose to go with an all-wooden theme, you can also decorate the rest of the house with farmhouse style accents such as tiered decor risers and wooden candle holders. With a wooden riser plan, you are really enabling yourself to create the type of look you’ve always wanted in your home.
If you’re not quite set on a farmhouse table riser plan, there are plenty of other farmhouse table and chair options that are easy to construct. For instance, you can use a standard, non-farmhouse table as the base of one of these DIY farmhouse table and chair options. This would be a better option if you do not have a large farmhouse and you only need to fit a few chairs. However, even if you do not own a farmhouse, a standard, non-farming pedestal tray can still look great in your living room.
If you are looking for a farmhouse table and chair that have an old-fashioned farmhouse look to it, you should consider using clear wax and natural chalk paint. Although these options will look like old-fashioned farmhouse furniture, there is no reason that they cannot stand up to everyday use. If you choose a clear wax farmhouse table riser and chair with natural chalk paint, the chairs and tables will retain their classic look for years. These pieces will look like they were made in your grandparents’ house even though they were actually created in a contemporary warehouse. If you want your guests to think your home is old fashioned, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money doing so, a clear wax farmhouse table riser and chair set can be the perfect solution.
If you choose to stain your wooden options, you’ll be able to get them looking just like they did when they were first placed in your farmhouse. Stain options include red oak stain, white pine stain, and natural cedar stain. Each of these stains can provide your home with the rich, aged look of old-fashioned farmhouse furniture, without spending a lot of money. Staining your wooden farmhouse riser and chairs can be the perfect way to create your own unique design and add that old-world farmhouse look to your home.
