Today I’m hear to share the final chapter in my Breakfast Bar build that I’m tacking BY MYSELF! As you know, I framed in a wall to the existing kitchen island, made my own corbels with the scroll saw, and installed AirStone over the plywood bar. The next obvious step is to add a counter top… but given the fact that our existing counters are old (and it would be impossible to match) I knew I ... [ Read More ]
DIY Corbels for a Breakfast Bar (with FREE Corbel Template)
You guys were so sweet last week when I told you about my reckless abandon and tackling the breakfast bar project on my own last week! I’ve been having A BLAST. This is where I left you. It’s almost done! And today, I’m going to show you how to make your own corbels! But first, let me back up and share how I came upon this design. I knew I wanted something chunky and detailed, but I’m not ... [ Read More ]
Recovering Chair Cushions with a Fluffy Rug!
The last couple days, I’ve had inexplicable energy. I’ve been baking, building, cleaning, and upholstering. I feel like I could run a marathon! So I’m in the middle of a ton of projects at the moment, but today I’m going to share one with you that’s actually done. Remember this cozy corner in our dining room? So those cushions on that chair used to be black canvas that showed every hair and ... [ Read More ]
Kids and Nursery Closet Organization Ideas
It’s hard to believe it was almost than 5 years ago that we shared the details about making over the nursery closet. We found that making some very simple changes and implementing some unique closet organization ideas made SUCH a difference! *this post contains affiliate links* Here’s a breakdown on what we did: Paint everything white! (WHY would you paint a closet a dark color?!) Rip the ... [ Read More ]
How to Stabilize / Reinforce Dining Chairs
We’ve been taking it pretty easy around here lately. This summer has been the busiest I can remember, and now that we’re back from the World Longest Yard Sale (our last commitment before my baby is due… in March), we’re just enjoying family time and soaking up what’s left of the summer. I may never make plans to leave the house ever again. Nick recently took a new position at his job, and ... [ Read More ]
Murphy Table for the Tots
By now, if you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you know that we’re participating in the GMC/Habitat for Humanity ‘Treasure Hunt Challenge’… which involves traveling along the World’s Longest Yardsale (my personal heaven on earth), snagging some great buys, and fixing up a house for a family in need at the end! Can you think of anything more fun and rewarding? If anything’s gonna snap me out of ... [ Read More ]
Wooden Paddle Boat
Hey All, Nick here. I have been thinking a lot about wooden toys lately. I am not sure if it is because of the impact that Bethany’s Grandfather had on her family as a child (he was notorious for building toys for the grandchildren… like this dollhouse) or the fact that toys now a days are just LAME! I have spent countless hours looking for sweet wind-up bath toys like the ones I had as a ... [ Read More ]
Doily-Stenciled Terra Cotta Pots
Hey friends! Mornin’ to ya! Can I just say? OUR DISHWASHER BROKE. And my time has been consumed with washing dishes. So.many.dishes. How old do the girls have to be before I can delegate the dishes onto them? Pretend like I have a witty transition sentence here. Oh hey! I made a little crafty project to show you. SUPER simple. MINIMAL supplies. DONE in under an hour. I used a ... [ Read More ]
Bamboo Patio Set Refresh
If you think of our blog more as creative inspiration rather than a ‘Reality TV Show’, you’ve probably been sorely disappointed lately. This little blog has always been a way to document our lives as it happens… but now that it’s mysteriously grown to the point that thousands of you are stopping in everyday to see what we’re up to, there’s a certain pressure to be awesome and interesting. But ... [ Read More ]
Patio Installation {Part 2}
This has been ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS. The kind where on multiple occasions, we look wearily at each other and telepathically say ‘what were we thinking?’ …because we don’t have the energy to actually say it out loud. We left you last time at this point: Nick is such a hard worker… and actually ENJOYS this kind of stuff (to a degree), so I lucked out there for sure. Since we already had ... [ Read More ]
