Simple plant stands made from scrap wood

Simple scrap wood plant stands that require only 6 pieces of wood. These and 14 other DIY plant stand options that I’ve made over the years.

I was in my She-Shop the other day working on a plant shelf for my Aunt.

You’ve seen this “Slatted plant stand for a bay window” a few months ago – but she wanted another for her friend and neighbour. Since I had lots […]

How to build mudroom storage (built-ins that aren’t actually built-in!)

Do you have a mudroom that houses more than just coats and shoes? I needed to incorporate a LOT of storage into ours, including room for a fridge, so I came up with a plan for how to build mudroom storage that looks like built-ins (but aren’t really built-in at all!)

I want to start this post by telling you what my “formal” carpentry/cabinetry training is…

Grade 8 wood shop.

Seriously. I haven’t taken one single course outside of public school where we […]

Under window bookshelf

Do you have windows that are too large or low to fit standard furniture pieces under? Check out this long, low under window bookshelf Chris built.

Have I ever told you that I can be a bit of a bully?

It’s true. It doesn’t happen often – but when I want something, I want it.

Usually that entails me doing it for myself, but there are times when I want something for someone else so I pressure them into it.

Only good things – […]

Simple, freestanding pet gate

The success of this simple, freestanding pet gate will depend on your dog. If you have a willful, no-fear dog – then they will likely charge this and topple it and think nothing of the loud bang.

But, if you have a dog that doesn’t challenge visual barriers – like our Miss Lacey – this is the perfect solution. It can be moved anywhere you need it without installation into walls or door frames and it’s open enough that your pet […]

I’ve been sitting in front of my computer for hours – literally HOURS!

My F*&%ing iMac is working at a snail’s pace again and my photos are all locked up. I only bought this computer in 2019 (although it is a 2017 model – I don’t know how that […]

Desk organizer lazy susan

January always brings on the urge to de-clutter and organize. This cute desk organizer lazy susan was the perfect start to getting my desk in order and it’s a simple build made entirely with scrap wood!

Good morning my friends!

Happy 2021 (I hope) – or at the very least – Happy fresh start!

It’s a new year – with vaccines a reality!!

I’ve also consumed just about all of the Holiday treats in my fridge, so just having those gone will constitute […]

Toddler room idea – bear shelf and stool

Make this simple bear shelf and bear chair and create a sweet reading nook for the toddler in your life.

I don’t have a toddler (sniff, sniff) but I do have a friend with a new baby which was excuse enough to create a couple of little decor pieces for his bedroom.

Yeah, I’m pushy – decorating someone else’s child’s bedroom. lol

I’ve actually had both the bear shelf and the bear stool completed for months now, so I’ll share the project, but […]
