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 …
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.) …
I’m going to be an aunt! Actually both my sister and sister in law are pregnant (and both due within a month or so!) so Micah will have some cousins close in age. I’m so excited! I wanted to create some wall art for my nephew’s nursery and here’s what I can up with. I …

And It only took me a year to …
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. …
I have wanted a farmhouse bed for our bedroom for quite awhile now. So, I set out to build a queen wood plank farmhouse headboard and a queen bed frame. I’ve outlined how I did it below and provided plans so you can build your own bed frame and headboard out of reclaimed (or new!) …
