    How to Create Workshop on a Budget

    April 20, 2020 /

    Budget-Friendly Garage Workshop Makeover Painting and reusing old cabinets is a great way to create a defined workshop area in a garage. And adding casters to an old table saves money and gives you a portable workbench! Materials milk paint (ballet pink)* paint sprayer (my most favorite one ever!)* scrap cardboard sandpaper respirator 3 inch screws drill/driver casters (30% off right now!)* 3/8″ and 3/4″ drill bits 2-part epoxy glue like this Clean and Paint Depending on how old your cabinets are and where they’ve been stored, they may require some repairs before they can be painted! Mine needed a good cleaning to get rid of the mildew (just 50/50…

    How To Build Shelves with a Live Edge How to select boards, prep, seal and hang rough sewn wood for decorative shelves in a bathroom. Materials cedar boards 3 inch corner brackets* sander polyurethane* spray paint* (stain bronze) If you’ve never seen the episode from Today’s Homeowner where Dad and I have an old cedar tree cut into 1 inch planks, here’s the link to watch it now! We had to tear down the tree from my front yard because it was all over the roof and a hazard to the safety of my house. After it sat behind my garage for about a year, we drove it to a…

    Double-Duty Homeschool Playroom

    August 5, 2019 /

    What You Need for A Homeschool Room Yes! You can have a room pull double-duty as a homeschool room and playroom with just a few organizational ideas and zones with purpose! I love helping homeowners find solutions to their home problems, whether it’s a repair type of problem or a design dilemma! For the homeowners we worked with on this project (for an episode of Today’s Homeowner which you can watch online here!), they didn’t know how to incorporate all of the functionality they needed out of this room. So it just kind of sat there. Repurpose What Doesn’t Work My favorite part about this project is that Emily and…

    Closet for Dress-Up Clothes

    DIY Dresser Makeover to Store Dress-Up Clothes I’ve been doing a lot of taping with Today’s Homeowner lately before I go on maternity leave (in just a few short weeks!). So not many projects have gotten done around my house. BUT I was able to help a friend update/makeover/upcycle, her grandmother’s old chest of drawers into a fun and cute ‘closet’ of sorts for her daughters’ princess dresses! Before Here’s the modest dresser before:

    Footstool with the Fur

    January 25, 2017 /

    Since I’m only 39 weeks pregnant, I thought it was time for a little post about the new nursery in town. Fit for a baby BOY! My husband and I went back and forth about where to let the new little one sleep during his first months at home. We contemplated our room until he slept longer at night at which time we could move him in with his big sis. But co-sleeping didn’t work out too well for us with Mary Helen. Babies make a lot of noise in their sleep! So instead, I cleared out all of my “junk” from our guest room and turned it into a…

    When you find a perfectly good play kitchen on the side of the road, you can’t not pick it up! Am I right? My mom spotted it while walking in her neighborhood and called me up. I was there 15 minutes later loading it in my trunk! (With some assistance from its previous owner.) And this isn’t my first time picking up treasures off the side of the road! Check out my bar cart upcycle here. Once I got it home and unloaded, I realized it was actually missing a lot more than I had originally thought. Only 1 of 4 doors was still in place. It seems this little…

    Upcycle: Potting Bench

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed this about me lately, but apparently I’m on an upcycle and repurpose kick. I really do love giving something new life! Especially when it comes to cheap or free furniture pieces. That’s where this large-and-in-charge potting bench comes into play. On a recent episode of Today’s Homeowner, we transformed a shed into a gardener’s potting shed paradise for homeowner Delores.

The dingy part was mostly on the back where it had been stained from a pair of my red pants, or rather from trying to dye said pants in the washing machine…
