Bathroom Vanity Painting Treatment Tutorial

May 13, 2013 by Bethany Sy

Top of the mornin’ to ya! I’m feeling pretty chipper today, knowing that we have GORGEOUS weather ahead of us this whole week. On the agenda? Plant the veggie garden! Nick is outside tilling as.we.speak. We’re a little behind, I know… but we like to break the mold. SPEAKING of mold… Just kidding. No mold that I know of. So yo, I painted the vanity base in the upstairs bathroom, and did a little ... [ Read More ]

A Guide to Pricing and Selling your DIY Furniture

April 22, 2013 by Bethany Sy

I try to write posts covering frequently emailed questions… to save you time in emailing, and me time having to respond! This is what we can a win-win sitch! This is by far the most frequently asked question… we get asked this several times a week: Truth be told, I wish someone would answer this question for ME!

DIY State or Country Plaque Tutorial {Using a Scroll Saw}

April 18, 2013 by Bethany Sy

It’s funny how our tastes change over time, and things eventually come full circle. I still maintain that I LOVE COLOR… but I also have a true appreciation for wood grain that I never had before. It was a slow progression… starting with this coffee table, and continuing with this buffet when I discovered that I could ‘shade with stain’. And from there I’ve grown to love how wood and color ...

Kinda makes me not hate the dentist so much…

April 17, 2013 by Bethany Sy

Thanks SO MUCH for such an amazing response for our new Etsy Shop (SyWoodInk)!! We had so many lovely comments, and even a handful of sales! This is such a fun endeavor for me, and you guys make it even more fun with your encouragement! On to the topic at hand… So, there’s a room in our house that doesn’t get seen very often. It started out as our music-studio-slash-office. Then it became a ... [ Read More ]

PROGRESS: Extending the Bathroom Vanity and Building a Butcher Block Counter!

April 10, 2013 by Bethany Sy

Wednesday Greetings to you! THANK YOU to all of you that weighed in on our epic curtain dilemma! So many good suggestions and things to think about! Right now I’m leaning towards something light and sheer, but I’m not going to jump into anything just yet. We’ve been bizzy bizzy around here… but what else is new, right y’all?

The Evolution of Our Blog Title and Header

March 25, 2013 by Bethany Sy

If you’ve been around for awhile, you know our blog header has slowly evolved. I love change, so I’m constantly tweaking things to make them better (in my opinion)! This post may either be a nostalgic walk down memory lane for you, or it may be a good brief overview of where we came from. I started my blog the very first week we moved into this house 3.5 years ago. Living in the country and on ... [ Read More ]

Dawn’s Smaller Dresser {using vinyl as a stencil}

March 18, 2013 by Bethany Sy

A couple weeks ago, we posted about a dresser we refashioned for a client for her daughter’s room. It turned out so fun! Our client, Dawn, had another smaller dresser that she wanted to coordinate without looking like a ‘set’ and without being too matchy matchy. Here’s the before! When we went to sand things down to prep for priming, we noticed some severe damage and chipping of the wood ... [ Read More ]

GIVEAWAY TIME!

March 15, 2013 by Bethany Sy

  This giveaway is now closed. Oh heyyyyy, IT’S FRIDAY!! Three cheers for sure! I’m still not sure why I look forward to the weekend… being a stay-at-home mommy and all. Maybe it’s because I get unlimited time with my man-child! Yep, that’s definitely it! This is neither here nor there, but we had our entire septic line replaced yesterday, which really bites the big one. Although now I can ... [ Read More ]
