The end of the school year always sneaks up… and somehow so does recital season 💃✨

Between final projects, performances, and all the chaos—this is your reminder not to wait until the last minute to find the perfect thank you.

Because let’s be honest…
teachers and dance instructors deserve more than another mug off a store shelf.

They deserve something thoughtful, personal, and made just for them.

From custom door signs…
to engraved cups they’ll use every day…
to personalized decor that actually means something—

I’ve got you covered 🤍

✨ Teacher gifts
✨ Dance recital gifts
✨ Fully customizable options

Spots are limited as we head into the busiest season—so if you’ve been thinking about ordering, now’s the time.

Order deadline coming soon—don’t miss it.

Have you ever bought home decor… and felt like everyone else had the exact same thing?

That’s exactly where this started for me.

I was tired of spending money on pieces that looked good at first—but felt cheaply made and honestly… just not special.

I wanted something different. Something with meaning. Something that actually felt like home.

So I started creating.

What started as a creative outlet quickly turned into something more—because the best part isn’t just making the pieces… it’s the connection behind them.

Getting to create something custom for someone’s home, a gift for someone they love, or a piece that tells a story—that’s what makes this so worth it.

Bark & Burlap Designs was built on the idea that decor should feel personal, not mass produced.

And I’m so grateful I get to create that for you 🤍

Mother’s Day is right around the corner 🤍

If you’re looking for something a little more meaningful than flowers or a last-minute gift, I’d love to create something custom just for you.

From engraved necklaces with your babies’ names, to personalized signs, lazy Susans for gathering spaces, monogrammed cutting boards, and welcome signs—each piece is made to tell a story and be kept for years to come.

These are the gifts that get used, displayed, and appreciated every single day.

Custom Mother’s Day orders will be open through April 28th
After that, I’ll be closing orders to make sure everything is finished in time.

If you’ve been thinking about ordering, now is the time 🤍

Spots are limited based on production time, so don’t wait too long.

Not all “burned” designs are created the same 🔥

When I create custom pieces, I use two different burning methods—each with its own look and purpose.

Laser Engraving
This method uses a laser diode machine to burn directly into the wood, creating depth and precision.
It’s perfect for intricate designs, fine details, and anything that needs a clean, permanent finish.

Chemical Burning
This process starts with a stencil. I apply a compound over the design, then activate it with heat.
Instead of cutting into the wood, it scorches the surface, leaving a bold, slightly more rustic look.

Both are beautiful—just different.
It really comes down to the style and feel you want for your piece.

If you’re ever unsure which route to take, that’s where I come in 🤍

Not your everyday cutting boards… and that’s exactly the point.

These are decorative boards, designed to bring warmth, personality, and style into your space—not to be tucked away in a drawer.

Each style serves a different purpose in your home:

✨ Long + Narrow Boards
Perfect for layering on countertops, shelves, or trays—adds that effortless “styled” look.

✨ Round Boards
A staple for kitchen decor. Softens hard lines and makes a beautiful focal point when leaned against a backsplash.

✨ Seasonal + Themed Designs
An easy way to switch up your space throughout the year without a full redesign.

✨ Statement Pieces
Larger, detailed boards that are meant to stand out and tie a whole area together.

These pieces are all about creating a home that feels like you—cozy, styled, and intentional in every detail.

And the best part?
Every design can be customized to fit your space, your colors, and your style.

🖤 If you love decorating as much as I do, let’s create something just for your home.

Spring Sports Season Is Here ⚾️⚽️🥎🏃‍♀️

If your athlete is headed to practice, games, or tournaments… let’s make sure their water bottle actually makes it home.

Personalized stainless water bottles are:
✔ Durable
✔ Insulated
✔ Easy to identify on the sidelines
✔ Custom with name, number, team, or logo (with permissions)

No more mix-ups. No more Sharpie wearing off.
Just clean, laser-etched designs that last the whole season (and beyond).

Need them for a whole team? I can batch create matching bottles with individual names and numbers.

Message me to get yours started before tournament weekends kick off!

Not Your Average Book Stack 📚✨

These aren’t mass-produced decor pieces — they’re completely customizable to fit your home.

✔ Seasonal, everyday, or meaningful phrases

From cozy neutrals to bold statements, each stack is designed and handcrafted to match your style and space.

Coffee table. Entry table. Shelf styling. Tiered trays.
They’re simple — but they make a statement.

If you’ve been looking for something that feels more personal than big box decor, this is it.

Sometimes the simplest pieces become the most useful in your home.

This tabletop lazy Susan is one of those items that can change with the seasons, your mood, or whatever you’re serving that day. One day it’s holding kitchen essentials like oil and spices… the next it’s a cozy coffee station… or a little decorative moment on your table.

I love creating pieces that are both beautiful and practical—decor that doesn’t just sit there, but actually works for your everyday life.

How would you style yours?

🧂 Kitchen essentials

SPRING VIBES ARE HERE 🌿☀️

Spring break hits and suddenly we’re all dreaming of open windows, longer days, and weekends at the lake.

If you’re counting down to dock days and bonfires, this “Lake Life” sign is your official permission slip to start decorating like it’s already summer.

And let’s be honest… if the boat’s coming out soon, you probably need a fresh cup to match. 👀🌊

Custom lake tumblers, vacation vibes, sunset colors — because your drink deserves to look as good as the view.

Cabin. Camper. Lake house. Or just your living room pretending.
Handmade pieces make it feel intentional.

Who’s ready for lake season? 🙋🏻‍♀️

This week has been full of sawdust, sketches, and progress.

A few different projects are currently in the works, and I always enjoy seeing how each one starts to take shape. From raw materials to the small details that make a piece feel finished, every step matters.

Progress photos like these might not be the glamorous final reveal, but they tell the real story of the work behind the scenes.

More to come soon as these pieces continue to come together.
