My friends keep writing books!  Once again, there’s another blogger book launch and I’m sharing that with you today.

My friend, Laura, with Finding Home Farms, has written a pretty book called DIY Rustic Modern Metal Crafts. She’s an expert on this subject and her home gushes with warmth and personality from her handmade ideas.  Laura is a sweet blog friend and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her over the last few years.

Rustic Modern Metal Crafts offers 35 creative upcycling ideas for galvanized metal, Laura’s favorite thing to use for her crafting projects.  She does a beautiful job with the farmhouse rustic look in her own home.

Like this side table made from a galvanized tub.  Her home is a wonderful mix of traditional, rustic, and charmingly modern.

    Love galvanized and have been using it for years. One treasure is a totally smashed up wash tub that I have salvaged as a planter!

    Love these ideas, I have a metal wash tub and have been wondering what to do with it. We in the process of renovating our back porch (super excited) and I just might make a table out of it : )))
