I just realized that I got so wrapped up in our Board and Batten project that I forgot to update the Door Jamb replacement job that I did! As stated earlier, I had to do this repair because the previous owners had used wood putty to cover an old metal plate and that plate was […]

Board and Batten Coat Wall
It’s done! It took awhile to complete as our schedules are really crazy right now but it’s done and we are very happy with how it turned out. I will be writing up a full tutorial as time permits but for now, I just wanted to get this out there for all to enjoy. 🙂 […]
Slow Progress
Slowly making some progress on our coat wall. Purchased 2’x4′ sheets of MDF at Home Depot so its taking a bit longer to put up and I have to actually cut each piece before I nail it to the wall. I’m also applying some wall compound to the edges in order to help with the […]
Growing Project List
It seems that every time I turn around or go on Pinterest, I find another project that I want to start. The problem with that is it makes it really hard to concentrate on the project at hand. Case in point, I have been looking at ways to redo the arches that go into our […]
SketchUp Addiction
A friend recently introduced me to SketchUp and I cannot stop using it!. What an amazing (and free for personal use) tool for the DIYer. One of my biggest hurdles when coming up with a new project is how to best design it so that I know what its going to look like ahead of […]

Now that I am painting all of our Honey Oak Trim white, I decided that I should fix a little issue we have with the trim around our front door. The trim next next to the door latch was sticking out about a 1/4″ from the rest. This was caused by the previous owners doing […]
And The Winner Is….
After much debate, we decided to paint the black portion of the wall to match the rest of the wall. It took a few days for me to get used to it but it has grown on me. I am still not 100% crazy about the overall color of the walls but I do like […]
I Love You Because Sign
The latest addition to our home. This started out as a generic frame from the store that I beat up, sanded and glazed. The backing was scrapbook paper that I printed out the chorus to “our” song onto. I am lucky enough to have a buddy that can cut vinyl letters and that is where […]
Headboard Bench
A few weeks ago my sister-in-law sent me a picture of a bench made from a headboard. The request was simple, “Can you make something like this?” Of course I answered “absolutely”. I mean, I have never done one but it seemed simple enough at the time plus I was pretty sure that it would […]
Time Off
Ashley and I are getting ready to welcome the newest member into our family so my time posting will slow down for a bit. Don’t worry though, I still have plenty of DIY projects and posts in the works, it might just take a bit longer to get them up. I am thinking the first […]
