Have you ever waited a really long time — years, even — to buy something or do something that you knew would make your life easier, and then once you bought or did that thing, you wondered why in the world you waited so long? Yep. That. That’s exactly what I’m feeling right now because […]

I’m back today with more resin petries (my best yet!), as well as a video showing how to make them. These resin petries are fun and easy to make, and while I hate having to wait hours and hours for them to dry, taking them out of the molds is like unwrapping a present. You […]

Well, y’all, I had big plans yesterday. I was going to get some work done on the porch stone facade while the sun was out, and then I had this cute and easy art project planned that I was going to video from start to finish and share that with y’all today. But none of […]

Let me just warn you up front that today’s post isn’t my usual “everything’s great and DIY is so awesome and I’m having a blast over here and getting all kinds of things done” type of post. Because frankly, I’ve kind of reached a breaking point. I just feel angry and resentful, and rather than […]

I’m finally ready (mentally, that is 😀 ) to reupholster the two chairs that I’ve had in storage for years and want to use in the living room. I’ve been holding on to these chairs for probably ten years, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use them, and I finally have one. The fabric […]

Remember that wood stool I showed you how to make in the last post? If you missed it, you can click here… How To Make An Easy DIY Wood Stool (Or A Base For An Upholstered Ottoman) Well, I upholstered that stool, and now it’s a cute little striped, skirted ottoman. So let me show […]

Today I’m going to show you an incredibly easy and fast project — how to make a wood stool. This stool that I made is actually going to be a base for a fully upholstered and skirted ottoman, so in my finished project, none of this wood base will show. But if you want to […]

I finished the basic build of my DIY console table yesterday, and I actually had to do the last 20 minutes of work by the light of my iPhone. But I got it done! If you missed the first part of this project, you can click here to read the details: DIY Six-Drawer Console Table […]

Yesterday, I started building a six-drawer console table, and I’m hoping I can finish it up today. I’ll show you my step-by-step process if you’d like to build your own, but I think y’all know by now that if you’re looking for precise computer-generated diagrams and cut lists, you’re not going to find those here.

My brother, Rod, came over yesterday to help me out with some things around the house, as he does pretty much every Sunday afternoon. And at some point, we got to reminiscing about all of the projects we’ve tackled together on my house. The fact is that this house wouldn’t be as transformed as it […]

…what would you want to learn? This is a question that’s been tumbling around in my head for a couple of weeks now, but I finally decided that I should just ask all of you! Back in the summer of 2013, I wrote a post in which I mentioned that one of my dreams would […]
