Happy Monday! How’s that for an oxymoron? Let me tell you how this went... Ring, Ring. Nick: Hey Babe, What’s up? Beth: Hey I’m at Lowes and I have this project that I want to do. Nick: Ok, what is it? Beth: I want to build a small ladder shelf to put food on. What do I need to buy? Nick: ....... Uhhhh. IDK, just buy a bunch of 1x4’s... Yup that is pretty much how ...

Dry Erase Chalkboard Calendar… Fun, Funky, Functional and FABULOUS!
I know many of you are new (ish) to our blog, and it’s easy for me to forget and assume that you remember every post and every project since the beginning of time Sawdust and Embryos. So in the interest of getting you up so speed on our kitchen calendar situation… let’s start from the beginning! The walls in our kitchen have no texture, so we thought it would be so fun to make a calendar out of ... [ Read More ]
Custom Closet Shelving ~ A Tutorial!
So we live in this OLD house, right? And apparently 112 years ago, storage solutions weren’t on the forefront of home-builders’ minds. Because our old farm house is without a single coat closet, linen closet… and pantry (until we made our own). But instead of complaining about our LACK of storage, I should just be grateful that we even have closets in our bedrooms! Because we’re pretty sure they ... [ Read More ]
New Additions to the Kitchen ~ Garage Sale Updates!
Ok, like a year ago... I got this little shelf at a garage sale. It was one of those sales that's in a warehouse and you pay $5 bucks at the door for a garbage bag, and you can fill it with whatever you want! All for $5! Silly me wasted a ton of room in my bag for this unfortunate little homely shelfy-hook thing. I came home, painted it white, and it hung in a closet holding the girls' bathing ... [ Read More ]
Nursery Closet {Organizational Ideas!}
*UPDATE!* ...see the nursery in all it's finished glory HERE!!! We've been working away at the nursery, and were LOVING the fresh unique color palate and all the sentimental and DIY items we've incorporated into the room thus far! The nursery closet was NOT a priority when it came to planning a nursery design/color scheme. But there came a time when I realized that this just wouldn't do. First ... [ Read More ]
Nursery: Shelving
So I pull up to the "Nick's Handyman Drive-thru" and roll down my window."Thank you for choosing Nick's, what can I build for you today?""Yes hi! Ummmm... I'd like to order two floating shelves 2'x4.5"x2", and a rack to hold books in the same length, and ahhhh, I'll finish that off with a little coat rack with hooks that I'll supply.""Is that all?""Yes, for today. You know I'll be back ... [ Read More ]
Attic Closet Rescue
One thing I certainly can't complain about is the amount of storage we have in our home. Granted, there is no pantry, linen closets or coat closets (which I still DO complain about), but our attic is fully refinished, giving us tons of room to store boxes, camping equipment, out of season clothing, Christmas boxes, and an extensive/bizarre Anastasia collection. And though I should be ashamed, ... [ Read More ]
Sometimes it FLOPS
I get a day off from work, and what do I do? Nothing at all. I'm literally still in my Pj's. And I've spent the majority of my morning thinking about all the benefits to having a fireplace... and how I long for one of my own. I feel strongly that winter would be more enjoyable with a wood burning fireplace. They're warm, they smell of coziness, and they provide a point of interest in a living room ... [ Read More ]
