  • Sooo, we bought a thing today 😬 this is really happening....I think. When we first got married, we lived in an apartment. Before we bought our first house, we casually considered building. Very causally. Then dismissed the idea and bought a house we hated 🤦🏼‍♀️ when we sold said house, we much more seriously considered building, but again, dismissed the idea and bought a house we loved 😍 THEN, when circumstances changed and we could no longer stay in that house, we felt a very strong urge to build. I told Danny, dangit, this is the third time we’ve done this. We will either do it now or do it never. So I guess we are doing this thing 🤷‍♀️😬 it’ll be an adventure and it’ll be slow and steady, but we hope to make this place our forever place ❤️ here goes nothing 😁🔨 #wedwratherbehome #foreverhome #country #sotheadventurebegins
  • There are three things to say here: 1. These @kregjig drawer slide jigs are 👌🏻 get a set, I promise you won’t regret it. 2. I don’t think I’ll ever figure out how to keep my head out of the way when making building videos 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3. I never install drawer slides the “right way.” I never take them apart and I never measure anything on the actual drawer box. I just adjust if and when necessary if they’re crooked. 🤷‍♀️ it’s worked so far. And a final fourth thing (it’s a free extra...won’t cost you anything 😉😂) 4. I’ve never loved any plywood as much as I love @PureBond birch plywood. It’s pretty, it’s smooth, and it builds a great cabinet. And it’s the same price as I used to get my cheaply made imported plywood from the local lumber yard. Why would you buy crappy plywood when it’s same price as the good stuff? Not a good choice. Plus, get it at @homedepot ...and who needs yet another excuse to make a HD run? 😂 so much good stuff coming soon on the blog, so stay tuned! #kregjig #homedepot #purebondplywood #birch #diy #woodworking #buildlikeagirl #plywood #bathroomvanity #makingdrawers
  • I may be without a shop, but I’m currently in design mode and it’s making me crazy!! I’d love to tell you I’m mentally designing my new shop, buuuuuut, I’m not 🙈 I’m designing a kitchen and a bathroom first because we’ve got to get our new place livable ASAP. Once we’ve got a place of our own to eat and sleep...and potty 😉😂, my focus will turn to the shop. Promise. Our plan is to build a small “garage house” on our new land. Then we will figure out what we want from there. I’m so excited I could scream! But I’m also overwhelmed and afraid I’ll design something awfully ugly 🤷‍♀️ who knows. Stay tuned and find out 😂 meanwhile, while I’m daydreaming about my new dining table I’ll be building soon, go check out this beauty I made my friends from an old tobacco barn torn down on his family’s farm. 😍😍 details are on the blog! #woodworking #buildlikeagirl #barnwoodtable #tobaccowood #reclaimedwoodtable #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #diy
  • New plans! Finally 😂😂 if your kids are taking over your dining room tables, kitchen counters, and living room floors, give them a place of their own to entertain themselves and do their projects with this easy to build kids play table and chairs.

  • I built these nightstands to match our new bed RIGHT before we moved. I can not wait to pull them out of storage and use them!! I looked everywhere for pulls I thought would go with them and I found these from @dlawlesshardware 😍😍 #obsessed I’m definitely using these again. They’re HUGE (17” long) and super clean and modern. And you seriously won’t believe their prices. If you haven’t shopped there, you need to. #notanad #justafan ps...Stay tuned for plans for these babies coming soon 😉 #modern #poplar #diy #woodworking #hardware #dlawlesshardware #woodandwhite #moderndecor #buildlikeagirl
  • I keep apologizing for being MIA. And while I do feel somewhat guilty, I also kind of don’t. So, sorry, I’m only kind of sorry 😂 see, blogging and content creating is my DREAM day job. But, it’s not my ACTUAL day job. It may never be, but I’ll work at it until it’s no longer worth it, I suppose. Anyway...so it’s hard to feel TOO guilty since this is “just for fun.” But, With everything that’s going on, it’s been kind of nice to not have the pressure to create constantly and I’ve enjoyed a little break. BUT, while editing pictures for a blog post (first one in a month!! 🙈), I realize how much I miss going to the shop after work everyday and piddling. Maybe a break was what I needed to light a fire again so when I’m back in business, my hearts all in? Who knows. What I do know, is we are about to build a home, I’m about to have a shop again, and we are about to have an exciting, stressful, and expensive adventure. Pray for our sanity. And send chocolate and chill pills 😂😂 and @kregjig 💙 screws so I can build cabinets for all our junk 😉😂 stay tuned for updates and new plans coming Monday 😉 #kregjig #buildsomethingwithkreg #newplanscomingsoon #bloglife #blogger #diy #woodworking #buildlikeagirl #tinyliving #aplacetocallhome #homebuilding #wratherbehere
  • Happy Independence Day!! Hope everyone is enjoying time with heir families and friends today! In other news, I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but we closed on our house yesterday. It was bittersweet. Actually, more bitter than sweet and there were tears involved. It was sad to leave. BUT, if plans work out, this view may be ours soon 😍😍 honestly, id take almost any view at this point to have a home to call our own again 🙈😂 but...soon 😬 #houseadventure #aplacetocallhome #tinyliving #countryside #kentucky #home
  • I know this isn’t a pretty picture, but you all are always so helpful, so I thought I’d ask my woodworking girls where to find some new workboots? I’ve looked everywhere and all I can find are “cute cowboy” style boots. But I need WORK boots. Boots to wear to the factory during the day and in the Woodshop at night. Help a girl out! My current boots are shot. The whole sole is worn through 🙈 Tell me what your fav brands are and where to shop 💪👍💸 #workworkwork #workboots
