Merry Christmas from the Kent Custom Carpentry team!

We wish you a safe and happy holiday with friends and family. 

The Kent Carpentry team had a busy December wrapping up many projects so that their clients would be able to enjoy (and show off!) their renovations during the holidays. Even with all of the December chaos, Nick and I found the time to collaborate on some handmade gifts for our loved ones. Now that the big day has come and gone, and all of the presents under the tree have been opened, I can share our creations.

We created four of these Drink Local bottle openers, inspired by a project that I came across online during one of my holiday shopping binges. Stained gray and hand-painted... We loved this idea so much we had to keep one for ourselves!

With the exception of the bottle openers, we were able to use materials we had laying around to make these signs.

We played around with the size, distressed a couple of them, and made a Prince Edward Island version to ship to my parents who live there.

These bottle openers are truly one-of-a-kind, and best of all, they were made with love! I know... I know... so thoughtful... they can all make it up to me on my birthday in *cough cough* five days.

Next up: This festive sign. I absolutely LOVE gifting holiday decor and I love, love, love, LOVE how this sign turned out. What do you think of my painting skills? Not bad right!?

PS. Mother nature. If you're listening, my reasoning behind choosing this quote was purely for the sake of nostalgia. Please do not take it literally. Don't get me wrong... the Christmas snow is beautiful and magical, but come January I'd like it to be all done. Cheers!

Finally, my most favourite project of the year... the wooden Christmas tree. I'm honestly kicking myself for only making one because it's JUST. SO. CUTE. This is definitely going back on my list of things to make next year because I need one in my life! 

Well thank you for taking a peek at our holiday gift projects! The Kent Carpentry Crew is officially on vacation until the New Year, getting some well-deserved rest and relaxation. We hope to hear about your next home renovation project in 2017!
