Another project wrapped up tonight. Just completed redoing a makeup vanity Ashley originally scored for $5. New top, sides, drawer pulls, rails and of course new paint. #diy

Island Countertop
We decided to do a wood counteract on the kitchen Island project. So far it’s going OK. I had a hard time trying to cut the 2×6 by myself on the table saw and neither one of my circular saw were able to make it through. Because of that, I have had to play with […]
ShopDog Sawhorse Project
Considering all of the projects I have going on right now, I am disappointed that it took me so long to complete these saw horses. They would have come in very handy for a handful of the things that I have already completed. I purchased the plans for these sawhorses from woodshopdude.com for a very […]
New Projects
I have been busy working on a few new projects even though I have yet to completely finish the old ones. Been feeling a bit under the weather this week as well so that has put a damper on the ambitions. Last week Ashley came home with this old desk that she picked up from […]
New Swing Set
It took a bit longer than I expected but I finally got the swing set put together. This thing is sturdy and build to last! I am so glad we went with a build it yourself model from the local lumber-yard vs a kit from one of the big box stores. We wanted one that […]
More Column Work and Swing Set Wood
We had a super busy weekend. Along with Mother’s Day, we spent most of Saturday cutting, mitering, and nailing up some more trim pieces on the kitchen pass through project. More on that later. And if we didn’t have enough projects going on, we finally settled on a swing set for the kids. Not just […]

We are making some good progress on the kitchen pass through project. Phase II is complete and we are now ready to begin the corner moldings. But first, here is a brief recap on how we got to where we are. After removing the trim along the inside of the pass through along with the […]
Kitchen Pass Through Project – Part I
When we moved into our house over 2 years ago, we knew that at some point we wanted to remove the half wall that separated our living room from our dining room. The problem was, we were pretty sure that its a load bearing wall and we really didn’t want to find out the hard […]
Cabinet Door Chalkboard Tutorial
Pinterest if full of posts from people using cabinet doors to make chalkboards. This post is no different but I thought I’d show you how I did mine! I knew that for Christmas, I wanted to be able to give out something that I had made that I knew people would like. We, coincidentally, had […]
Craigslist Dresser Makeover
I love shopping Craigslist but I usually don’t buy most of the stuff that I want too. If the price isn’t too high, I tend to not want to drive all over to pick stuff up. I don’t have a truck or a trailer so most often, it takes me two trips to get things […]
