If there is one accessory that a Farmhouse can not have too many of… it is the cutting board! Not only are they used for chopping and cutting but they look great in vignettes… as wall art and simply placed on your counter or table. This one will require a bit of work… but what you will have in the end is a piece of art that will help you prepare food… serve it and just look fabulous any where you place it. Jen over at The House of Wood is sharing a very detailed tutorial that I know you will totally enjoy.
