I was playing with scrap wood in the garage the other day and wanted to see if I could make a watch box to display all of Hubby’s watches.

Who would have thought that industrial pipe and plywood could create a stunning piece of decor for your home? This industrial pipe men’s valet / coat rack is urban, rustic, steam punk and functional all in one!

May 13th is Mother’s Day this year and so I’d like to offer up a few gift ideas for Mom that I’ve been tossing around for my Mom, my MIL (and for myself) in the hopes that it might inspire you to do something a little different this Mother’s Day.
