DIY Floating Shelves

I am so excited to FINALLY share this project with you all! I have been working on it for what feels like forever. Wait...you mean...having a baby will drastically change the amount of time in the day you have to accomplish things?!?! Case in point, I've been trying to write this blog post for 3 [...]

Breakfast Nook Table

So it's been a month since I've posted 🙁 #1 I can't believe it has been that long! #2 That also means that this pregnancy is moving along insanely fast! In just 1 week I will already be 24 weeks!! I'm starting to panic about all the things I haven't even begun to tackle in [...]

Crown Moulding

Crown Moulding

This is the project I am most proud of so far, it took me a while to get it right (and by that I mean to get to the point that my perfectionistic personality was satisfied) but I did it and am super pleased with the result. I used 5 1/4 inch angled moulding to get [...]

Deck Restoration

Deck Restoration

  Whoever lived here before us didn't seem concerned with the obscene amount of rain we get in the pacific northwest and saw no reason to put any sort of finish on the front porch deck. The wood was weathered and worn, dirty and grey; much like the wood I take off of a pallet [...]
