I built this bookshelf in collaboration with Jen Woodhouse, who developed the plans. You can find them on her site here. And I’m excited to announce that this shelf is part of a series of builds we are calling the Concrete and Wood Geometric Collection. So be sure you are following us on Instagram and […]
DIY House Shaped Dress Up Wardrobe
One of my favorite games as a child was dress up, an activity that morphed into a fairly intense oft-repeated game of Rapunzel played on a ledge over the stairway of an old farmhouse. My own daughter is a mix of warrior and princess, which makes dressing up even more exciting really. When her dresses […]
Shoe Storage Cabinet with Trays
A while ago I turned our back hallway into a dream mudroom. Or at least, our dream mudroom. Of course a huge part of any closet or mudroom is shoe storage. This shoe cab is designed to utilize the depth of the mudroom. It’s a simple design that is easily customizable for your space and […]
Crayon Holder Valentines
Need a quick Valentine’s day classroom gift? Or just need a simple gift? These simple crayon holders make great gifts for Valentine’s Day classroom gift giving (say that three times fast), or for birthday party favors. Here’s a video that shows the entire process. I’ll break it down a bit more here, starting with the […]
Lego minifigure display with removable shelves
Legos. I love ’em – really, I do. Keeping them in one place…that’s a little more difficult. There’s the actual Legos, the instruction booklets (who keeps those?!), the prized builds that have to stay together, the half finished and “in-process” builds (because my kids are mini-me’s), the minifigures, the baseplates. Basically, what I am saying […]

Dowel Joint Bed Frame
Guys, building a bed has been on my to-do list just about forever. Or as long as I have been building things. So when my kids asked for new beds naturally I overthought the crap out of it. Then I stepped back and decided to just keep things simple. But build it without any visible […]
Christmas Gift Box Ornaments
Growing up, my mom would give each of us kids a new ornament each Christmas. Carefully chosen, the ornament was intended to be a reflection of something we were interested in or would like. When we got married mom gave each us a box of our ornaments to start our own Christmas trees. I love […]
The Mudroom: Rough Sawn Panels by PureBond
Like a lot of people, I started woodworking using any materials I could get my broke little hands on. That meant a lot of reclaimed materials – fence boards, pallets, construction material, and boards I found out by a factory a few miles from my house. I learned to love that rough texture and create […]
DIY Mudroom with Dog Bath
Around here we rank renovations according to energy drinks. Here’s where we break down on this home: I would put the kitchen at a solid 3 – as in it took three energy drinks each for my husband and I to complete the project. There’s a straight up correlation to the lateness of the […]
