I’ve wanted a sliding barn door for the bathroom in our bedroom since, oh I don’t know….forever. So for my birthday, Jon surprised me with the hardware to DIY our own sliding barn door. Seriously!? He knows me so well. Not many girls will get this giddy over hardware for a birthday present. I just …
If you missed the first part, check it out here. I’m back with the finished end tables! I finished these babies last week and they are working out great. WELL worth the mere $35 a piece they cost. Especially since I sold our old, impractical, ugly set that I didn’t even like for $200…I actually …
