DIY Rustic Re-purposed Wood Shutter With Hooks
I have had this old Wood Shutter sitting in my garage for several years. I purchased several shutters at a garage sale for $2.00 and then found more! Both Krystal and I had 6 shutters for under $5.00 over the years I have used the shutters for various projects. I’ve made a Noel sign for Christmas and a Flag shutter for the 4th of July. But WAIT!! Who could forget the Thanksgiving Shutter ?? As you can see I have used Shutters for each holiday but I had one full length one left so I wanted to create something for my sister. This originally was meant to be for her back hall to…

Handmade Shelving DIY using Industrial Piping
This Handmade Shelving using Industrial Piping is a quick Saturday afternoon project that will seriously change the look of any room! There are tutorials all over the web for these type of shelving so this is probably nothing new. Simplifying was the route I used. (Yes that is a ceiling fan in my bathroom- best decision ever) First gather your supplies. You will need: 1- 8 foot long 2″ x 8″ Fir Wood. Cut in half to make 4 foot lengths. Table saw or chop saw to cut the wood (If you don’t have a saw you can have your local wood store cut it) Hardware needed: 4 – 3/4″…

“This is Us” Large 4 ft. wall home décor sign
Watching the T.V. series “This is Us” from the beginning of season one has got me hooked! Each week I wait patiently to see what emotional roller coaster that the Pearson family will lead their viewers into next. I find myself comparing this amazing program to my own life and realizing that I too have my own “This is Us” series in my life. Loving the concept of the show and how real some of the characters are to me. It gives me a true reflection into my own life and assists me in realizing that no matter how difficult a circumstance is in my life that there is always good. There is…

Storage style Alexia Bench with drawers
Let’s take a little blast to the past. How about October of 2014 to be exact when I found the plans of a darling little storage style bench with drawers online and I just had to make it! It’s been 3 1/2 years since this storage style bench was made and still to this day I get asked about it all the time. First off if you know anything about me at all you’ll know that I am not good at watching tutorials. Why? Mainly because I can’t stand doing things how other’s do things. I am me! I like to do it my way. Give me a set of plans and…

DIY – College Bathroom Counter Wood Caddy Box
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and LISTERINE. All opinions are mine alone. #BackToBold #CollectiveBias My oldest child went off to college and wow not only was it hard to let him go but it was also eye opening how many things he kept telling me he needed for school! He left with the basics of course but came home one weekend telling me that he needed something to hold all his personal grooming supplies in. I came up with this Wooden Caddy box with handles that he can set up on his counter. While assembling the wooden Caddy for him we got talking about his morning routine and…

Floating Bookshelves
Floating Bookshelves My daughter Maeli kept telling me she wanted some sort of bookshelf in her bedroom. Because of her bead board and wainscoting on her walls I couldn’t do a full length bookshelf without it being a separate component. Her bedroom is the smallest bedroom in the house so we also wanted to keep as much floor space as possible. There are some photos on the internet of floating bookshelves but couldn’t find a plan on how to make them. So I chatted with my husband and we came up with our own creation. He first went and bought some 6″ wide pine and measured out the wall space of how much room…

Checked Twice wooden sign
I am still loving the vintage Christmas designs. I was really into them last year and nothing has changed. One of my favorite blogs right now is Fynes designs. She has very classic taste and I have been loving all of her vintage design ideas. The idea for this Checked twice board came from her Personalized Santa sacks. I wasn’t wanting to make the sacks but fell in love with her design on the sacks. She is offering a free download on the design. I downloaded the design and then decided to only use part of the design. I painted a wooden board that measures 9″ by 5″ a cream…

Cedar and Pine Rustic Wooden Arrows
Our garage is always full of scrap pieces of wood. Some of this wood is left over from a project and some wood is still new, never been cut for a project. Some wood is pine, while other is cedar but overall you will always find some sort of wood to use for a craft. This Rustic Wooden Arrows project was on a whim and from start to finish the 4 arrows I made maybe took 30 minutes. The larger of the two arrows is from left over pine wood – That I painted an off white and sanded the edges. While the smaller arrow of the two is out…

Farmhouse night stands
Farmhouse Wood Night Stands As you saw in yesterday’s post I introduced you to my new Farmhouse bed! When the bed was done my old nightstands didn’t match nor were they nearly tall enough! So I went to work on finding some nightstand plans to match my new bed. I found these darling nightstands on Shanty 2 Chic. Have I told you that I LOVE LOVE Her site? I have used multiple plans from her and loved how every single one has come out. Once again I got my husband to work on these beauties! We made them taller and wider than her plan with just…

Farmhouse King size bed
Farmhouse King size bed My headboard and bedroom set was made by my father over 20 years ago and I knew it was time for a change. I looked all over for the perfect bedroom set that would be sturdy and not require box springs. Only to find that most bed frames (headboard/foot board) were quite costly and way over our budget. So I warmed hubby up to the idea of building our own bed and found some plans for my new bed! That is how the process of my Farmhouse King size bed came to be. I found the plans on Ana White but of course altered them to…
