DIY: Building a Simple TV Stand Bookshelf

The furniture suite we have in our Master Bedroom has belonged to my husband since he was a kid and I’m crazy about it. It’s built with solid pieces of 2×3 lumber and stained a lovely shade of Walnut. It’s sturdy and timeless, and I recently discovered, very expensive to purchase! We needed a piece for the room that would function as both a TV stand and a Bookshelf, and when I began looking for something to match the rest of our furniture, I couldn’t believe the sticker shock.

DIY: Re-Canvassing Vintage Deck Chairs

DIY: Re-Canvassing Vintage Deck Chairs

My sister spotted these gorgeous Vintage Deck Chairs in my Dad’s Barn last Summer and I’m so glad she salvaged them for me! They had scraps of the original seat canvas BARELY holding on, but, the frames on them still seemed pretty sturdy. I have looked these chairs up on line and most of the ones I’ve found for sale run anywhere between $150 – $300. They seemed a bit intimidating at first, but, these are actually the simplest DIY I’ve tackled all Summer while we Update our Patio.

DIY: Simple Rustic Table from Pallet Wood

Today was meant to be a day spent catching up on chores. There was this cute little pile of scrap pallets sitting in the shop, however, that I’ve been eyeing for a week now, and I couldn’t wait any longer. This Rustic Table was a nap time project that turned out way better than I expected.

World’s Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

A soft and chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie is probably in my top 5 favorite sweets of all time and this is a tried and true recipe that delivers excellent results every time. It’s a hybrid of a cookie recipe from my Grandmother mixed with a few tricks I’ve seen used on Pinterest, and it always results in perfectly chewy, not too sweet, evenly textured perfect cookies.

Build a DIY Simple Planter Box

The best gardening advice I’ve received in my freshman year of growing is “You will harvest many lessons from your first garden.” Man, oh, Man. This is the truth.. and possibly the name of my future memoir. We dove in, head first, to the world of backyard gardening this Summer with little to no knowledge and have already made adjustments for next year including this DIY Simple Planter Box.

DIY Home Menu: Never ask What’s for Dinner again

Nobody tells you as a child that being a grown up means you have to figure out what’s for dinner every single night. And as much as your inner 10 year old might have thought having pizza and ice cream every night would be totally awesome, it actually loses some appeal after a while.. Such a bummer, right?

DIY Moveable Light Post Fixture

My favorite part of this project is that is could be recreated on any scale for any type of home. If you are in a rental, have a condo or townhouse, or even on a patio or garden, you could recreate this on a smaller scale in a Decorative Planter and have a custom solar powered light post anywhere!

DIY Custom Swingset Play House

The imagination that our two year old brings to every day normalcy is so much fun. His current obsessions are cooking in his “Kitchen” and playing in his Fort (details on that can be found Here!) But the one thing he doesn’t have is a “Play House” with doors he can open and shut.
