Hey Y’all! (I’ve been binge-watching Nashville on Netflix) I’ve got a great DIY for you today and it doesn’t need any nails or screws at all. Except for hanging that is – other than that, I made my DIY mail sorter using ONLY Gorilla Glue! I’ve swapped offices with Hubby so now his is in […]

DIY Floor Mirror

This DIY tutorial was inspired by Katie at Addicted 2 DIY, so all kudos should go to her brilliance for the concept and her execution.  Unfortunately, the link on her website to the building plans doesn’t work.  Or it didn’t work for me anyways (confirmed again before writing this post) – maybe it’s a Canada thing?

Chalkboards seem to be all-the-rage now – people are trimming anything and everything with chalkboard paint to create message boards, labels, jar lids, gift tags – you name it and it’s probably had a coating of chalkboard paint to make it better.
