DIY Mug Stand
As we close in on the Holidays, I like to post a few ideas that are easily created, very affordable and would make great gifts for just about anyone on your list – like this DIY mug stand. I’d seen a version of this on Shanty 2 Chic and thought “what a great idea!” We […]
DIY Outdoor Garbage Bin
Since this has been “nagging projects” week, I have to show you something… This is the side of my house.

I was worried this project was […]
Farmhouse Gallery Wall
It’s done! Happy dance, happy dance! I quoted this project at “it’ll only take me about three hours”… oops, business mistake #1. This is the wall we were looking to mimic: This was the plan I came up with to keep the feel, but change out the names: THIS is the finished product: This farmhouse […]
