Laundry Room Refresh

October 16, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: Decor, DIY Projects, Laundry, Organization Leave a Comment

empty tin can

I’ve been using an empty powdered milk tin can as a dryer lint receptacle for years. Like… almost seven years. For all of those seven years, I’ve had the thought that it would be nice to cover that tin can somehow so it doesn’t look like an old tin can. Seven years! So I finally […]

rustic hexagon plant shelf diy

Every other week, my kids get to hang out with their cousins for a couple of hours while I do something kid-free. I often end up spending those hours in my dad’s shop staring at his pile of scrap wood and then building something! Thank you scrap wood for endless inspiration! I decided to try […]

Low Profile Bathroom Stool

July 17, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: Bathroom, DIY Projects, Furniture, Kid Related Leave a Comment

** I actually completed this project sometime last year… but never got around to editing photos and posting it. My oldest potty trained himself and went from being in diapers to being completely independent in the bathroom with zero accidents (daytime OR nighttime) in about a week, so we quickly discovered that we needed a […]

Wooden State “Home” Sign

June 26, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: Crafts, DIY Projects, Living Room Leave a Comment

Around a year ago, in a pile of some stuff my mom no longer wanted, I found a thin pressboard cutout of the state of Texas. It caught my eye and I snagged it, thinking I could use it to make some kind of cool wall hanging. I stuck it in a corner in our […]

Easy DIY Picture Ledges

Picture Ledges - clamped

I built this coffee table for my sister-in-law for Christmas last year and one day, as I was in the late stages of the project, she texted me a link to some picture ledges and asked if they would be hard to make. I eyed up my leftover lumber from the coffee table build and […]

Rustic X Coffee Table DIY Build

February 20, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: DIY Projects, Furniture, Living Room 1 Comment

One day last summer, I was chatting with my sister-in-law about her recent living room redesign and how she was looking for a coffee table to fit the space but hadn’t found one yet. I periodically browse Ana White’s website for project plans just to see what other people are doing and what kinds of […]

Hand Painted Wood Slice Christmas Ornaments

Wood Slice Ornaments hanging on tree

This year (I mean last year, a few weeks ago) I tried my hand at a Christmas craft I’ve been wanting to try for a few years…hand painting wood slice Christmas tree ornaments! Last year (2018) I tried to cut my own slices from a real branch I found dead in the woods, but the […]

Oversized Ruler Taped Lines

These little growth chart projects are pretty popular these days and you can find them all over Pinterest. See this one here and this one here and just do a Google or Pinterest search for dozens more examples. I made one for myself a few years ago (pictured above), but recently made a second one […]

Is Throwback Tuesday a Thing?

July 22, 2019 by Aimee Filed Under: Life, Remodeling Leave a Comment

** I realize that I posted this on a Monday and that makes my title confusing… but I started writing the post six days ago on Tuesday!** I’m working on a few projects but none of them are finished yet, so I decided to dig up the pictures of one of my first whole-house remodels […]

DIY wood plant stand notched base

I’ve been away from a computer, the internet, and the blog for a while because of preparing for, attending, and then (semi) recovering from boy scout camp. It was a fantastic trip but I still have not fully recovered or finished getting the house back to normal. I whipped out this project a week or […]
