Pot feet / Planter feet
So we’ve all heard of “pot heads” right? Either in the form of marijuana smokers or those ugly chia seed heads that are advertised at Christmas – but have you heard of pot feet? Little stands to keep your garden pots off of your deck or floor. I came across pot feet a couple of […]
Shaped cutting board
One of my favourite things to do is come up with ideas to use up scrap wood. I think it’s fair to say I spend more time creating with scrap wood than I do building the large pieces that generate all the scrap wood. Today’s shaped cutting board is another scrap wood project that […]
Simple Toy Display
This has been a week of I.O.U.’s over here. I promised my Dad I’d build him a condiment carrier, I promised Chloë I’d build her a tiered shelf to display her toys, I promised Madison I’d refinish a mirror for her…. Technically not I.O.U.’s as in money – but simple projects that I’ve put off […]

Scrap Wood Christmas Trees
Amazing Amy and I got together the other week to work on some scrap wood Christmas trees we’d both been pining for since seeing them on Pinterest a year or two ago. I know, a year or two between concept and execution is more Hubby’s speed than mine, but hey, we did finally get around […]
