It took me 2 weeks of getting up at 5:30 am but I finally finished the double stroller firetruck with 1.5 hours to spare before our Church’s Trunk or Treat party. 🙂 Since time was of the essence on this project, I didn’t stop to take any pictures but below is a list of materials […]

Distressed Letter Project
Finally a new post to put up! Ashley and I have been busy the last few months with the latest edition to our family. But things are starting to fall into routine a bit more and that has allowed us some time to get back to the projects we so love to do. First up […]
Painted Nursery Rocking Chair
I have had this rocking chair in my possession for years now and it’s been in my family for at least a hundred years. I can still remember my Grandma rocking in it when I would come to visit. She used to tell me that it was her Mother’s before her. I honestly do not know how […]
Teen Beauty Station
It seems like overnight our oldest daughter has gone from being unconcerned with her looks to spending all of her time going over hair tutorials and practicing new looks. Her wish list now consists of curling irons, blow dryers, hair rollers, etc. I started to picture all of these items clogging the sink in her […]
Airplane Shelf Redo
When my Mom asked us if we wanted the old airplane shelf my Dad made for me when I was a kid, I knew I did. I just didn’t know where I was going to put it. Then our nursery started to take shape and some of the elements in it included a slight airplane […]
Adding a Base to Stock Shelf
Ashley and I thought the perfect addition to our new nursery would be the shelf below, outfitted with canvas totes that matched the color scheme of the room. The only issue I had with it was the fact that it looked incredibly stock. In a room filled with a custom dresser, board and batten walls, […]
Car Wash Sprinkler
Yesterday afternoon Ashley sent me a Pinterest pic of a DIY sprinkler she thought would be fun for the kids to run through. It was a simple square made of PVC pipe that was put on the ground and then had holes drilled into the top of it. I liked it but I thought it […]
Distressed Dresser Project
I have been wanting to distress a piece of furniture for awhile now. We have several pieces in our home that we purchased already distressed but the process always intimidated me. After getting this gorgeous dresser from Ashley’s folks I decided to give it a try. Oh, did I mention that this dresser actually belonged to Ashley’s […]
Baby on Board!
Ashley and I are pleased to announce that we are expecting a new DIY’er to be added to our family this summer! We are super excited about the 6th member of our family and cannot wait to share all new memories with everyone. Of course, with a new baby and a new house, that can […]
Dresser to Desk Project
A few weeks ago my wife showed me a project on Pinterest where someone took an old table, cut a few feet off the top and mounted it on the wall to make it into a desk. We were in the planning stages of a room remodel for our daughters and thought something like this […]
