Create Awesome-Ideas for Everyday
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. So we built our preschool daughter a little art table using Ana-White kids table plans. The only changes I made to the original table [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been working on my teenage sons bedroom which has been pretty challenging. Girl bedrooms are easy-boys are SUPER hard. You can find 8000 inspiration pictures for girl rooms and like 10 for boys rooms. Why is that? We are going for an outdoor/antique look. I found a super cool old trunk at Goodwill for [...]
I wanted a bench for the kids craft table in the office If you have more than one kid than you can understand the glory of a bench vs a chair. No fighting or shoving about who gets to sit on the chair. Benches have a spot for more than one bum! Yay! I’ve had Ana-White’s [...]
I needed a sewing table for my new office/craft room. I wanted something super sturdy since my old sewing table would shake when I was sewing! I also wanted something that I could repurpose in a different house since my husband is a Marine and we move a lot. Plus I am loving farmhouse tables [...]
One more office project finished! I’m getting so excited to get working in my new office/craft/sewing room instead of working on it! Today I’m going to show off my new magnetic chalkboard. I used to have a cork board in here but never actually stuck anything to it because I kept the tacks hidden from [...]
