DIY Christmas Tree Shelf
Have you seen this gorgeous DIY Christmas tree shelf by Jaime at That’s My Letter? I’d saved the pin from last year with the plans of building my own this year – and I finally did! I cheated a bit by using scrap wood to build mine – which totally works if you plan on […]
DIY Coat Rack
Do you know what this is? Okay, that was a stupid question – the blog title clearly tells you what it is – but would have guessed a DIY coat stand just by the photo? I wouldn’t have, mainly because these bits and bobs of scrap wood don’t match – we have some 2×4’s in […]

That, coupled with friends and family for not one, but TWO Thanksgiving feasts, left everyone even more grateful than usual.
