Build A Martina Bath Wall Storage

Hi Everyone,

I made this storage wall shelf about a year ago. It's the second  project I ever built, and it's a perfect size for our little downstairs guest bathroom.  The walls in our home are slowly getting filled with much-needed storage space. 

Create Your Own Art: Birch Trees

Hi Everyone,  

When I worked in the elementary art class room we had so much fun!  

The best part was watching the students jump right in and get started!   

Build Some Quick Closet Shelves

Hi Everyone,

I recently went to visit my younger sister for a few days.  I love going there! We always have a good time and she cooks some amazing gourmet meals (she's a chef)! Anyway, she was badly in need of some extra storage in her guest room closet.

Build A Mini Coffee Table

Hi Everyone,

I have a fun project to show you, one of those builds where I just sort of winged it.  My hubby and I love to sit on the porch swing with our two little dogs at the end of the day. It's  a great way to unwind! We needed a table near the swing to set our coffee on, and it had to be small because we don't have a lot of space on the patio.  It didn't cost a penny to build, and it's just the right size!

Sew Some Bathroom Accessories

 

 

I'm slowly building small storage projects for our home, like this wall storage unit.

We really like the tiles we chose for our bathrooms.

Getting Organized a Little at a Time

We will be doing a few renovations on our bedroom closet in the near future.
But right now there's a little job I have to do in there before it drives me crazy.

My get-ready-for-the-day basket is a mess . Grrrr

For some reason today is the day I decided enough was enough. 

I'm going to sew some little pockets around the inside so it's easier to sort through.

Time to get organized!

Here's how the basket looked before the pockets:

Shipping Crate Turned Patio Planter

Shipping Crate To Patio Planter

  

Mr. M. sometimes surprises me with gifts from his job as a contractor, 

like this shipping crate he brought home one day. 

This crate has been on our patio for a few years now. We've been storing 

garden tools in it, and Jack loves to sit on it and bask in the sunshine. 

This is how it looks now.

  

Build A Cedar Planter

Hi Everyone,

 I love Ana White's building site!  She has so many inspirational ideas!  If you've never built anything before, or even if you are an experienced builder it's definitely worth

a look! I really liked the look of her plan for this cedar planter. So off I went to see

if I could find something in my scrap pile behind the garage.  

Build Some Little Pallet Drawers

Little Pallet Drawers

These little drawers are my answer to needing baskets for storage on a wall shelf I made for the bathroom.  They were inspired by Ana White's pallet storage boxes plan.
