DIY Coffee Mug Shelf
I’d seen this cute coffee mug shelf on A Beautiful Mess and I’d pinned it as a “to do” on my Build It Pinterest board. But I needed a variation of it – I didn’t want 9 coffee cup nooks, I wanted 6 – but ones that were big enough to hold my Rae Dunn […]
DIY Wooden Sign
With all of my pantry obsessing of late, and my continuing avoidance of completing my income taxes, I finally got around to a project I’ve been thinking about for quite some time… a DIY wooden sign for above my pantry door.

DIY Door Stop – from scrap wood
