I think we can all agree that color is good in moderation, tastefully balanced with neutrals and textures. Of course if your taste is ‘farmhouse’ you might gravitate toward neutrals more. Or if you love boho décor, you might be brave with vibrant color and patterns. There’s no right or wrong! So when it came time to make a choice about what color to paint our potting bench, I was ...

Potting Bench with Hidden Garbage Can Enclosure
Ya’ll, it’s been HOT where we live. Like Arizona-in-the-early-spring-hot. Like hotter than what we’re accustomed to in Iowa. But we survived the weekend, and lost a combined total of 3 meeeeeellion pounds in sweat, as a family. That’s a lie actually. But at least the sweat we produced was coupled with sunscreen and FUN. Nick and I designed a potting bench together to fit our needs. I wanted a lot ... [ Read More ]
Oversized Pegboard Shelving System
There’s just something about oversized pegboards that just GETS ME. Ever since being inspired by this version via Mandi @ Vintage Revivals, I’ve been subconsciously pondering where in our home I could clear off a wall for something this large.

Hehe! *This post is sponsored by Rockler. Thank you for supporting the brand partners that make ... [ Read More ]
Wooden Modern Headboard with Unique Texture Effect
My parent’s thought it would be great fun to have a kid every two years… for FOURTEEN YEARS. And that is why I’m 12 years older than my youngest sibling. Josh. This pic is something like 13 years old. I still totally look like this, right? Of all my siblings, Josh and I are the most similar (even though I graduated and moved away when he was 5, and we didn’t really get to know each other until ... [ Read More ]

Scrap Wood Decorative Inlay Nesting End Table
You might think that we must have a swanky wood shop with ample space, stacks of exotic rough-cut hardwoods, Festool everything, and gloriously organized-according-to-color spray paint collection (OKAY we totally do have that last thing). Everything else? #notsomuch …In reality, we use our two-car garage as our wood shop, and park our vehicles outside in the elements. Because priorities. But ... [ Read More ]
