Mondayyyyyy! Wait don’t leave! I’m only so chipper because I’ve had many MANY cups of coffee already. Cypress thinks it’s super fun to get a jumpstart on each day by ‘rising’ bright and early (AKA 4:30am… give or take 5 seconds). It’s not a huge deal because Nick and I are early risers anyway, but 4:30 is pushing it, dear friends. But! The good news is that I have a fun new project that I ... [ Read More ]
DIY Playhouse / Swing Set Update {Part 2}
A few weeks ago, we shared the slow but steady... ok fine, JUST SLOW... progress of the playhouse we’re building from scratch for our girls. As usual (at least for us), it’s turned into one of those things that’s taking 3 times as long as we originally planned. How is it August already? It feels like summer’s gone by like a time-lapse. We’ve found time here and there to put a few hours in on ... [ Read More ]
DIY Newborn Photography Prop {Moon Prop}
A few weeks ago, I was talking to Molly (at Molly Long Photography) about photography props and how expensive they could be, and she mentioned that she really wanted a wooden moon with a place to put a newborn. This got my wheels turning, and I saw an opportunity to play with power tools and use up some scrap wood! This is KIND OF a tutorial. But not super thorough... because I’m sure there ...

Palm Branch Inspired Art Panels
If you guys take anything away from my blog posts each week, I hope it’s that YOU CAN GLEEN INSPIRATION FROM ANYWHERRRRE! When I post a project... even if it’s not your style, skill-level, or you don’t have the tools, I hope at least it gets your creative wheels turning and you start having ideas and noticing things in your everyday life that that trigger project ideas, little crafts, furniture ...

Custom Playhouse / Playground {Part 1}
Nick and I have always planned to build the girls a their own custom playground area. But when we found this plastic Little Tykes thingamajig a few years ago on our local ‘for sale’ page, it seemed like a good thing to tide the girls over until we had the time and funds to ‘do it right’. They’ve gotten sooooo much use out of that thing. But these precious toddler days are OVER (collective ... [ Read More ]
Extending Kitchen Cabinets up to the Ceiling
Recall for a moment what our kitchen looked like just a couple weeks ago. We loved that dark teal with the glossy swirls for a handful of years, but it was just time for a change. I laid out some more details about why we painted the walls white in this post, and it really brightened up the room sooooo much. To be honest, when I painted the walls white, I wasn’t sure what ...

Cutout Silhouette Plaques out of Wood!
If you’ve been around our little blog for a few moons, you might remember that we made wall plaques with the girls’ silhouettes when they were babes. We used slabs of oak and vinyl as a stencil to paint over. (Full Tutorial HERE) I’m in the middle of making one for Cypress, and let’s just say her profile looks a LOT different with all that hair. How did we have bald babies (for the first ... [ Read More ]
Woodshop Organization Spray Paint Rack
When we bought this house, we mutually agreed that the garage was Nick’s domain, and the house was mine... at least with regards to what goes where. But as the years have passed, we’ve both infiltrated each other’s domain. To Nick’s surprise, he found that he actually did have an opinion about design elements in our home. And to MY surprise, I found that I can build shit. Like with my own two ... [ Read More ]
Wooden Wall Art Inspiration
One of my favorite posts of all time is this ‘Kilim’ / Native American wooden artwork we did last year. I’ll admit it was tedious, but so so worth it. And I went to great lengths to make the tutorial easy for y’all to understand. You’re welcome! I don’t usually do round-up posts, but I’ve been stumbling upon so many awesome pieces of wooden artwork by some of my bloggy friends, I can’t help but ... [ Read More ]
The Studio {Counter/workbench and Storage}
Well hello there! Are you having a great day? Are you living in ALL CAPS? Good! Me too! So…. you know how everyone has a junk drawer? Well we have a junk ROOM. It’s the catch-all room where I have not only my sewing machine and craft supplies, but also guitars, books, stuff we’re not using, and stuff we don’t know where to put. And this room is RIGHT off the living room, so obviously we ... [ Read More ]
