DIY Plywood Quote Artwork

by

I love that plywood is so inexpensive, yet often has some AMAZING wood grain. I also love that it's having a moment in design... 1/2/3/4 See? Classy! And so readily available at your local home improvement store! In fact, we put up a geometric plywood accent wall in our old house, and I'm still obsessed with how it turned out AND I MISS IT OK? The project I'm sharing today is one I did several ... [ Read More ]

Make your own Grimm’s Rainbow

by

I've silently drooled over the wooden Grimm's Rainbow toys for years. There's just something about wooden toys that just feels so organic and RIGHT. Pair that with vibrant colors and curves, and I'm so far gone. If you're not familiar, or don't understand the draw, click here to see some of the fun things you can do with this ... [ Read More ]

Modern Circle Shelf Tutorial

by

This circle shelf project has been in the works for weeks, and I'm so excited to be able to share it with you FINALLY! Whenever we do a video along with our blog post tutorial, it seems to take longer to edit the video than to execute the entire project. *eye roll emoji* But we're getting faster... I think? And it turned out pretty amazing (can I say that?) As you know, we've been slowly ... [ Read More ]

Triple IKEA Rast Hack

by

I'm finding that when our shop is a hot mess, it makes us dread (and therefore put off) any projects that require us to be in there. This was also the case at the old house, but at least then all we needed to do was go clean it. Our current shop situation is that only half of our tools are unpacked, there's no work bench, things are strewn all over the room with absolutely no measure of ... [ Read More ]

Turned Root Tumbler

by

If you've followed our kitchen build closely, then you might remember that we had an ENORMOUS pine tree taken down in the backyard in preparation to dig the foundation for the kitchen. Also, it was insanely close to our house, and a miracle that the roots weren't pushing against the foundation of the existing house. So it came down. Timberrrrrr! Our friend George Vondriska saw ...

This Rainbow Art is LIT

by

Y'all, the design process is in FULL SWING for the girls' new room at the new house! With all the chaos happening there, and the shuffling back and forth between two houses, it will be so nice for the kiddos to have a dedicated space that's clean, organized, and DARLING. I can't share details with you quite yet, but I'm going to share one component with you today. Are you pumped? *This post is ... [ Read More ]

Three-Tiered Children’s Shelf

by

How was your Labor Day weekend?! And how great is it that our work week doesn't start with a Monday this week? We've been plotting away at some really amazing ideas for the shared kids room at the new house, and I can't wait to share details with you later this week! But today I want share a super cute organizational piece of furniture that will end up in their room. We're not really sure ... [ Read More ]

Scrap Wood Shoe Cabinet

by

You know Nick and I are always searching for smart storage solutions. So when we were invited by Jen Woodhouse to participate in a 'Scrap Wood Challenge', we thought it would be fun to fill a need that we've been considering building for awhile... a Scrap Wood Shoe Cabinet! But in our case, we're using scrap melamine that's leftover from this (also organizational) project. *This ... [ Read More ]

Convertible Coffee Table Tutorial and Plans!

by

You know we love convertible furniture, given our history with building projects like this and this. And since we love entertaining, I thought it would be so nice to have a coffee table that converts into a full size table! It can be used for family game night, puzzles, or just plain eating. And we're totally obsessed with it. If you follow us on Instagram and have been ... [ Read More ]

Wood Wall Art Challenge Roundup

by

A couple weeks ago, Nick and I hosted a big ol' collaboration involving a TON of other makers, bloggers, and YouTubers called the Wood Wall Art Challenge. It was SO FUN! Everyone made their own unique wooden artwork, and the creativity was so inspiring! The only parameters were that the art be square (but any size!) and be made of 'mostly wood'. We've never been accused of being legalistic. I ... [ Read More ]
