I love the notion of sitting on the patio with a tall glass of sangria in the summer. Creating an outdoor space that you love to visit makes all the difference. Today we tackle a table that just about anybody can make. Best of all, it’s almost free. It will require a bit of work and you may want […]
I have fallen way behind on the deadline to finish my boys’ room redux. There are still many projects planned and I have committed to getting them finished before Spring Break. Yesterday I checked another item off of the list by finishing the headboards. As far as upholstery projects go, this one is fairly simple. The most challenging […]

I could have also called this post “What I Did With The Scraps From Yesterday’s Project”. I had plenty of wood leftover from the DIY pallet picnic table, so I decided to keep creating. I had an idea for an Art You Can Do project, but I wasn’t certain that it would work. I am pleased to present […]
I love a long table. With it comes the notion of a dozen friends enjoying a wonderful meal, good drink, and lots of laughs.
