Pallet-able Patio: Cheap Chic Cocktail Table

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 […]

SK8R Boyz Room Redux: DIY Headboard

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 […]

Roping In Style: Discard Bench Makeover

Piece by piece we are getting closer to a finished SK8R boyz bedroom redux. The pieces and projects are all planned and we are still on track to be done by the end of the month. I am very anxious to finish and share the results with you. Today we are making over a bench which was […]

The chalkboard in […]

Art You Can Do: Band of Butterflies

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 […]

Pallet-able Patio: DIY PicnicTable

I love a long table. With it comes the notion of a dozen friends enjoying a wonderful meal, good drink, and lots of laughs. We are hosting a dessert party later this month, so I was tasked with producing an inexpensive solution for a table. We have a few smaller tables that we could put together, but nothing […]
