DIY Custom Picture Frame
I have been on the look out for cute art and things to hang up in my daughters room, because it's bare. She's a pretty spicy 2 year old, so I thought it would be nice if the message was positive (not that she can read yet but soon.) She also loves animals. Then last month while at a blogging conference, I ran across a booth with a really cool concept called Modify Ink. They … [Read more...]
Star Wars Shelf and Hyperspace Wall
My 5 year old son has been begging me to paint his bedroom walls, apparently he is tired of the boring beige color. He wants a Star Wars room!

While gathering some inspiration on Pinterest, I really liked the room colors and stars at the top of … [Read more...]
Simple Headboard and Dusty Theme Room
My sister and brother-in-law have created the cutest room for their little boy. I hope you don't mind me sharing it with you.

Shoe Shelf Bench with Pocket Holes
This plan is for a great bench that also doubles as shoe storage. The original plan used dados, this version uses pocket holes* for the joinery instead. Obviously everyone will have a different size of bench to fit their need, so I created the plans with a customizable spreadsheet. Enter in the desired bench length, height, and depth along with how many columns you want and … [Read more...]

Rolling Island + Counter Table
My good friend, Jenny just moved into a compact apartment. She needed to get a table, but it sure would be nice if that table could double as more counter space and add much needed storage.

Quite the list to ask of a table :-) Then she saw the West Elm 'Design Workshop Wood Top Bar + Counter' (now sold … [Read more...]
