This Chevron Twin Bed Plan is based off of the fun Rustic Barnwood bed that I built for my son that used rough cut reclaimed lumber. This chevron twin bed plan uses readily available lumber from the hardware store so anyone can build it. It will be cute stained or painted, antiqued or sleek. If you don't want an entire bed, just the headboard would be a great addition to any … [Read more...]
Rustic Barnwood Twin Bed Plan
Late last summer my Dad called me up and told me that they are leveling Remo's barn. (Each section of the family farm is named after whomever they acquired it from over the years, Lee Halls, Ray's, Henry's, Neeley's, Remo's, etc that's how we roll :-) ) Remo's was a sizable area with a little farm yard on it. He had built a big hay barn back in his day, but over the years it … [Read more...]

Luckily this blog is helping me actually finish projects :-) My friend bought this cute vinyl cut out on a group dealz of sorts oh maybe 2 years ago (from StyleWithVinyl).

Ahh how I love Spring. A fun way to celebrate spring is to build a birdhouse with the kiddies. I've made a pattern for a fun little whimsical birdhouse. … [Read more...]

Entertainment center (PB media center plan)
I built this entertainment center a few years ago, it was so long ago that it was before the days of Pinterest. Do you remember those days? Dog-eared magazines, bookmarked websites and real physical folders with ideas in them, holy cow what did we ever do before pinterest? :-) One day I was perusing through my Pottery Barn magazine and saw this beautiful media center. I do … [Read more...]
DIY photo backdrops
I love the granite in my kitchen. I think that it's called Typhoon Bordeaux, it has these beautiful rusty-red and charcoal swirls all through out a creamy base. But one thing that I've learned about my granite, is that it is a TERRIBLE backdrop for photos! It is very evident with my Simple Circuit photo, are there even wires in that picture? It's like camo :-) I have … [Read more...]
