Cutting Board Makeover (Video)
Transform plain wood cutting boards into beautiful vintage-inspired kitchen decor in less than 30 minutes. Distressing techniques include beating up the wood with a hammer, followed by stain (or danish oil). Ink transfer paper and mesh stencils from A Maker’s Studio.

Making your own kitchen decor is a quick and rewarding project (see my vintage tea towels and mug projects), but now my focus is using cutting board displays as pretty decor.
Some boards are just a bit too new for my current tastes, so I gave them a vintage treatment using A Maker’s Studio products, and they look amazing now.

Looks gorgeous! Would the cutting boards still be food safe or are does this relegate them for decor use only?
Just for decoration but a reader had a great idea – just flip them over for a food safe option!
I so love this idea, Jeanette! It gives a very European-inspired, antique look! Thanks for helping with affordable, yet beautiful small gift ideas!
Thank you, it was a fun experiment. And a super inexpensive, thoughtful hostess gift!
LOVE THIS!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
