Laundry Room Refresh

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

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 Hexagonal Plant Shelf DIY

September 4, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: Crafts, Decor, DIY Projects, Living Room, Office

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

** 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

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

May 14, 2020 by Aimee Filed Under: DIY Projects, Furniture, Living Room, Office

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

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 […]

Is Throwback Tuesday a Thing?

July 22, 2019 by Aimee Filed Under: Life, Remodeling

** 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 […]

Modernizing a 1990s crib…sort of.

June 12, 2019 by Aimee Filed Under: Bedrooms, DIY Projects, Furniture, Kid Related

Our youngest recently outgrew his former Pack ‘N’ Play bed (out climbed, rather) and we were able to borrow this crib-turned-toddler-bed from one of my sisters. In a former life, it had been painted bright primary colors, but the paint was chipping and in need of a refresh and I had a hankering to spray […]

Custom DIY Bed Frame – Foot Board Tutorial

May 24, 2019 by Aimee Filed Under: Bedrooms, DIY Projects, Furniture

This post contains a lot of pictures. You have been forewarned. We designed and drew plans for a custom bed frame. Our mattress is currently resting on top of a set of plastic storage bins. Functional, but not exactly pretty. We wanted the new bed to still contain a good amount of storage options and […]

Rusty Mailbox Makeover

May 8, 2019 by Aimee Filed Under: DIY Projects, Outdoor

Old rusty mailbox

New mailboxes don’t cost very much. It’s a good thing I didn’t spend anything on this project other than my time, because I just now looked it up and you actually can get a new mailbox for less than $10! Oh well. This was free because I already had all the spray paint and other […]
