I never thought I was a hoarder…..until. UNTIL. I started woodworking. I mean, who in their right mind needs a thousand 3″ long pieces of 2×4?? . No one. NO ONE will ever have a use for that…unless they’re having a bon fire. But for whatever reason, I don’t like to let those little scraps go. Anyone out there relate?? . But, those little scraps pile up quickly and before I knew it, I had piles under my workbench and…
DIY Standing Desk or Kiosk
April 9, 2018
Am I the only one that kind of thinks it’s weird that it took us this long to come up with the concept of standing desks? Like…I’ve never really seen one until fairly recently. . Maybe they’ve been around and I just haven’t noticed until now (highly likely…), but what a life changing concept, amiright?? No wonder they’re becoming so popular. And science (I’ve always wondered who exactly “science” is, haven’t you?) has shown that it’s much healthier to stand…
Simple Modern DIY Bookshelf
April 2, 2018
This year, I challenged myself to try some new joinery techniques in some of my projects. One of these projects is this simple modern DIY bookshelf. However, sometimes this “new joinery” adventure turns out good…like with this retro Bluetooth speaker box. And other times…like now…there is a little learning curve and things don’t go exactly as intended… . For this project, I tried using dadoes for the shelves to help sturdy it up a bit and also help me with…

March 19, 2018
There’s a first time for everything…and this was my very first time building a DIY farmhouse storage bed. It was empowering, exciting, and challenging.

Simple DIY Storage Trunk
March 18, 2018
The older I get, the simpler I like things. This goes for food (especially when I’m cooking it haha), clothing, paperwork, and storage solutions. You can get “fancy” with large complicated storage solutions and systems, or you can build a simple, stylish box. Yeah, I’m going to go with the simple DIY storage trunk box idea 🙂 This post contains affiliate links. Please see disclosure policy for details. . I’ve built a storage trunk in the past that was about…
Simple Little DIY Bookshelf
March 12, 2018
Sometimes you just need a little shelf. Nothing big. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just a plain, little bookshelf. Something simple…like this. Isn’t it cute? It’s so little. Everything miniature is cuter than the full size, isn’t it? Except for candy bars…those are always better full size, amiright? 😉 . It’s not REALLY that little, though, I don’t guess. But it’s smaller than some of my latest builds and it’s the perfect little size for a small nook or space that…
