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 ]

Storage Baskets on a Ladder in Three Tiers

by

I’m a sucker for unique and space-saving organization, so the idea of storing things vertically just makes sense! I’ve been thinking about different ideas for storing games, blocks and toys in our living room that would be inconspicuous yet allow the children to easily access them. And these storage baskets are what we came up with! After making this, I’m realizing that there are SO MANY ... [ Read More ]

Wood and Mirror Geometric 3D Wall Art

by

You know from this post and this post that we’re huge fans of wood art and making wood LOOK like 3D wall art! Nick had a brilliant idea to make a patterned ‘3D-illusion’ art that incorporates pieces of MIRROR! We were having so much fun making this piece that we decided to invite some buildy-blogger (and YouTuber!) friends to join in! We challenged them to create a piece of art with only two ...

DIY Home Bar

by

As you know, we’ve been making some headway in our attic family room. It’s come soooooo far! Remember when it looked like THIS?! WOOF, that pistachio green and poop-brown couch has me breaking out in hives. You can scroll back through the various projects we’ve done in the attic to see the progression to what it is now. We’re so happy with how it’s coming along! Part of the struggle ... [ Read More ]

Leaf-Shaped Modern Nesting Tables

by

Sometimes when I’m out and about shopping with a friend (or my toddler), I’ll see something I love but could TOTALLY make myself. For example, I saw these little tables that are nesting tables shaped like leaves at IKEA! I loved them. But I felt like the price tag was steep… almost laughable. And not only that, I knew I could make them even better. I’m sure you know what happens next. *This ... [ Read More ]
