Create Awesome-Ideas for Everyday
I’m so excited that I get to be a contributor at Beckie Farrant’s awesome site Infarrantly Creative! She also has two other sites Roadkill rescue (love free furniture!) and Knock off Decor My first post was last Thursday and I’m excited to share it with my own readers. So today I’m going to show you [...]
I’m so excited to show you guys my craft room! Or maybe I’ll call it my studio since that makes me sound cooler. It is my favorite part of my entire house and my family spends lots of time in here making awesome stuff. Which makes photographing this room REALLY hard since it’s always a [...]
This is one of my favorite things we made this year. My husband and I built an Ana White Doll bunkbed for our daughter. I love it so much I kind of want to keep it for myself. My biggest tip is to paint the boards after you cut them but before you assemble [...]
The little kids art table that we built a few days ago needed a spot to sit. So we built a simple stool using Ana-White plans. It’s perfect for kids but is also a great height for resting drinks if you have an adirondack chair on your deck or even as a plant holder for the front [...]
One of the things I love about building gifts is that you can afford to give something nicer than you could afford to buy. My family chooses names and I have my brother who has 4 kids. So my husband and I built them all bookbins. We used Ana White bookholder plans and built the large [...]
My goal this year was to have a desk for each of my kids. I really think it inspires creativity and encourages art activities if kids have their own special spot.

Since I love handmade gifts so much I decided to do a little handmade holiday series. Just a few ideas that we are making. This week is all stuff to build! All the projects cost less than $10. To start the week off I have a cute little trug. Built with plans from Jaime at [...]
My husband and I just built some new nesting tables using Ana-White plans. LOVE them! I needed something to protect the newly painted finish from my messy, messy family. So I made some almost free coasters. Free-my favorite word. I started by shopping in my backyard. Cheapest store ever. I found a fallen log thats [...]
I just love gallery walls. I think I have one in every room of my house! This is the one in my teen son’s bedroom. The one with the Rustic headboard and Farmhouse desk. I started with the USA license plate canvas that was purchased at Target for around $30. The pallet bookshelves were built [...]
Our boys have always shared a room and had bunk beds. When we moved we gained an extra bedroom. We are using this space for our teen’s bedroom and a room for guests. We bought a Queen bed set but it needed a headboard. So Ana-White to the rescue. Love her plans. The bed was [...]
