It’s been awhile since our last wall-removing update. It’s been slow-moving, especially with our weekend trip to Wisconsin and our weekend trip to Missouri. But Nick continues to plug away. Here’s where we left you last time. The duct work was completed, and the pillar and arches had been framed in. Nick had a genius idea to install little can lights in the arches. I can’t take ANY credit for ... [ Read More ]

Barn-Boards ~ Thoughtful DIY Gift Ideas!
Hey, so I’m back to show you the outcome of our project using our distressed wood from our DIY Barn-Board Tutorial. (If you haven’t checked that out… you should. SO… EASY! . The hubs affixed my distressed ‘barn boards’ to a 1/4” slab of plywood for me, so it’s one solid piece using 1/4" staples... but you could use screws too, as long as they aren't longer than the thickness of the boards. You ... [ Read More ]
Desk / Vanity for Molly’s Photography Studio
Want to know what’s crazy? Nick has been promoted at work, and is starting 2nd shift at his job today. THAT means, he’ll be around all day until 3:30 when he leaves for work (and comes home at midnight). This could be really awesome, or REALLY not cool. We’ll see. I’m looking forward to having him around during the day to have more family time and work on projects and stuff. Also, I’m looking ... [ Read More ]
Wall Disappointments {and explanations}
Ugh, where do I even start. The wall: It’s still there. I was SO excited for it to be gone after this weekend. And if you follow along on our Facebook Page, you know good and well that we had a terrible disappointment… preventing us from following through on our big plan to remove the wall that separates our living room from our dining room. You see, it’s a loadbearing wall. But that was fine, ... [ Read More ]
Raven’s Custom Dresser!
So remember awhile back I mentioned that our girl Gina gave us an entire bedroom set that she wanted out of her basement? Well we just finished the last piece! BUT, to refresh your memory on the matter… HERE’S the post on the night stand, and HERE’S the post on the upright dresser! And nowwwww, for this long/low dresser to finish things off! (Don’t mind all the power tools adorning it’s ... [ Read More ]
Bonus Project! {Picture Frames out of Furniture Doors}
If you joined us yesterday, you know that this little gem got a serious facelift. And after removing those doors for our client (and adding a shelf), did you really think we would just throw the doors away? Of course not! That would have been wasteful. I asked Nick if he could cut out the inset panels so I could use them as picture frames, and he jumped at the opportunity to use his ... [ Read More ]
Long-Awaited Intro to our PAINT GUN!
Our new friend Nick (ironic!) had purchased this end table from us a few months back. He recently contacted us with a new job! He had a coffee table, end table, and a long/low unit that he wanted us to paint to look like a ‘set’. The coffee table and end table are already siblings, but that other piece isn’t even a distant cousin. He wanted to use the long/low table-ish thing as a TV stand, and ... [ Read More ]
Our weekend, in case you’re interested
The weeks are FLYING by… it seems like I BLINK and it’s Monday again! Last Friday, the girls and I got invited by my BFF (we really call each other that… mature, I know), to go swimming at her parents house! We jumped all over that… especially after being cooped up in the house all week! Delly loves the water, but it takes Pais awhile to warm up to the idea. She’s not a risk-taker by any ...

Ombre Stained Dresser {Gray Wash}
As promised, we’re back with the reveal of the sa-weet dresser we’ve been working on! This dresser came to us by way of one of our readers… wanting to clean out her basement. We’re all about helping take things off people’s hands. Here’s the ‘Before’. We had decided we wanted to do a little ‘Ombre’ staining on the drawers kinda like this that I pinned awhile back, but we didn’t care for the way ... [ Read More ]
WHAT to look for when searching for furniture to fix up!
We started out this morning sharing WHERE we look for great furniture finds, and now it’s time to talk about WHAT to look for! There are a few basic guidelines to remember… but as always, there are exceptions to every rule. So follow your gut!Search for pieces that are solid. And by solid, I mean… structurally sound. Although, being solid wood is definitely a bonus. If you have the tools and ... [ Read More ]
