No post de hoje, a inspiração para decoração de casamentos vem da arquitetura: o estilo industrial. Seus espaços amplos, com tijolos e tubulações aparentes, madeira e muito concreto são referências de uma arquitetura descolada e sofisticada. E não é só em interiores que esse tipo de decoração cai bem: que tal fazer o seu casamento com o estilo que é uma das tendências de 2018 ? Para te inspirar, fizemos este moodboard, vem ver que está imperdível! Na decoração, essa referência veio para ficar: para os próximos anos ele terá ainda mais força. A proposta é a valorização de objetos desgastados pelo tempo, como sucata, em contraste com peças finas e de requinte. E para quem acha que é preciso muito investimento, o estilo é focado na simplicidade: o menos é mais! Casamentos no estilo industrial pedem ambientes mais crus, imperfeitos, onde é possível mesclar diversas texturas como metal, concreto, tijolos e madeira. Por isso é comum acontecerem em barracões e armazéns!

Backyard Garden Wedding in Northern California
Check out the best summer backyard DIY! This DIY Mid Century Modern fence is easy to build with our step by step details!
I teased you guys with this DIY project last week, and these stocky guys were not only easy to make, but they were a huge hit with all the wedding guests. So much so that we had several guests putting dibs on wanting to take them home after all was said and done. What you'll need: 12 solid wood stumps big enough to hold one person (we used oak that was roughly 14" in diameter) Drill with a 1/4" wood drill bit Plywood to create the base of the cushion (my friend Aaron had a bunch of plywood laying around that was leftover from other house projects, in all different shapes and thickness, which he then cut into 12" circles; but you can go to Home Depot and buy sheets of plywood in your desired thickness) Wood saw 12 2" X 1/4" lag bolts, 1/4" nuts and 12 washers 3/8" Staple gun Cotton batting (we had a five pound box of cotton batting on hand that we used at our discretion) 12 cuts of fabric in 14" X 14"squares (weather proof fabric is ideal) Protective eye-ware Pencil Drafting compass Pliers or monkey wrench (for tightening nuts and washers) Directions: Always wear your protective eye-ware when doing any sawing or cutting projects! Take plywood and using your compass, trace a 12" circle, then cut with a wood saw. You'll need 12 of these. Using a drill with a 1/4" drill bit, drill center of each piece of wood then insert lag bolt into what will be the top of seat. On the bottom, place washer on lag bolt and tighten nut securely in each wood base. Lay out a piece of fabric face down on work bench or table. Take one of the 12" wood bases and lay so that the lag bolt is facing up. Using the staple gun, pull fabric toward you and staple to the bottom of the wood base, leaving one small section open / un-stapled. Take cotton batting and begin stuffing the batting into the open hole, making a cushioned seat. Once you get it to your desired thickness, lay the cushion face down and pull the open ends of fabric toward you and staple to the bottom of the base. Repeat with all remaining cushion bases. Once they have all been assembled into cushions, take your drill and 1/4" drill bit and drill holes into the top of each wood stump. Brush off wood shards and then take each cushion and affix lag bolt-side down on top of each stump. Voila! And if you want, you can paint or stain each stool (before affixing the cushion, of course) with weatherized paint or stain so that you can leave these guys outside year-round. A HUGE thanks to my best friend, Aaron Martin, for all his help and creative vision with these stools.

It used to be that only people in the country were homesteaders. However, over time people who have yearned to homestead but couldn't move to the country figured out how to make their dreams a reality and discovered how to homestead in the city. You may have heard the term “urban homesteading” or “backyard farming.”
