I'm excited about this project, I was able to collaborate with the talented Amy from High Style Restyle. Amy and her Dad picked up an awesome curb side find, an oak china cabinet headed for the dump. The top part of the hutch was transformed into a beautiful barrister style bookcase. For the bottom cabinet, she envisioned an industrial cart/ apothecary cabinet. I've … [Read more...]

DIY Custom Picture Frame
I have been on the look out for cute art and things to hang up in my daughters room, because it's bare. She's a pretty spicy 2 year old, so I thought it would be nice if the message was positive (not that she can read yet but soon.) She also loves animals. Then last month while at a blogging conference, I ran across a booth with a really cool concept called Modify Ink. They … [Read more...]
Star Wars Shelf and Hyperspace Wall
My 5 year old son has been begging me to paint his bedroom walls, apparently he is tired of the boring beige color. He wants a Star Wars room!

Travertine Tile on a Budget
One of my sisters built a new home recently. She was bound and determined not to go over the budget that the builder had set up for the home. (I applaud her for that, the little upgrades here and there sure add up fast.) However when it came down to the budget for the floors, the set amount was tight, really tight. If she wanted the most basic tile installed in the kitchen, … [Read more...]

Shoe Shelf Bench with Pocket Holes
This plan is for a great bench that also doubles as shoe storage. The original plan used dados, this version uses pocket holes* for the joinery instead. Obviously everyone will have a different size of bench to fit their need, so I created the plans with a customizable spreadsheet. Enter in the desired bench length, height, and depth along with how many columns you want and … [Read more...]
