Built Ins Part 2: Assembling, Painting, and Visualizing

Billy Bookcase Built Ins not yet installed

If you missed part 1 (the planning) check it out here. In that post, I talked about how I’m planning on adding DIY built in shelves on either side the french doors in our home.  I’m going for the custom built-in look with Ikea Billy Bookshelves as a starting point.  This post will be all …

Built Ins Part 1: The Plans

I feel like life hasn’t slowed down one bit since I’ve been home with Micah.  We have had full days of playing, book reading, walks, play dates…all great things.  So what’s a girl to do when she feels super busy already?  Start a huge project of course! What else!? (It’s a sickness, I tell you.) …

Wisteria-Inspired Tufted Bench

I found the perfect bench for the foot of the bed in our master bedroom from Wisteria. And it only costs $574.00 + plus tax!  I guess I could pay that. Heeehehaha hahaha. Hah. Heh. No. So in true DIY knockoff fashion, I wanted to make one similar. Here’s how I did it: Start out by drawing …

Back in the swing of things: A furniture re-do

It’s been awhile since I have re-finished a piece of furniture and it feels oh so good to get back into it.  I got this piece a looong time ago.  And by long time ago I mean its-been-a-year-because-I-couldn’t-decide-what-to-do-with-it-and-its-been-staring-at-me-ever-since.  Consider ‘Project: Clean Out the Garage’ in full swing. And It only took me a year to …

How to Build a Raised Wooden Garden Planter Box with Legs

In this post, I’m going to show you how I built a raised garden planter box with legs out of reclaimed wood. The other day, Jon spotted an old cedar-planked dog house that someone was throwing away. So he loaded it up and came home with it. Consider my husband officially on the I-aint-ashamed-of-picking-up-other-people’s-trash train. …

Sliding Barn Door: Install It

Alright, now that we have built our own rustic herringbone barn door, it’s time to DIY some heavy duty sliding barn door hardware so we can get it hung up. This door is heavy, so it’s important to buy the real thing. The hardware I chose is for an actual outdoor sliding barn door, so …
