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.

    I would probably do a lighting project since my lighting is a bit bland and in need of an update.

    I’d most likely do some type of decorative accent. Ive done some lighting before out of various metal accents so I’d be interested in seeing her ideas too. Thanks for the chance to win her book.

    Since my house is red and looks like a barn, I would make the tables from the galvanized tubs. It would provide more storage on my porch. I think it would evoke the barn stlyle even more. Looking forward to more great ideas.
