  • So....I’ve built a bed but I need some help here. Our old bed (one we bought at a furniture store) had slats and posts in the middle for support...like this one. And the bed I made before had the same. However, this beds rails sit higher off the floor than those and I didn’t think about the supports showing from the sides like this. Side note: I just sat the slats in here....I know they’re not straight or evenly spaced at the moment. Anyway...how should I do this to hide the middle slat supports? Run a 2x between the head and foot board in the middle to replace the supports? Use a solid plywood bottom? Any other genius ideas?? #woodworking #diybedframe #modernbed #diy #buildlikeagirl #poplar
  • Hey...it’s me. I’ve been MIA lately. When I have a lot going on, I like to kind of slip back into the background. Lately I’ve been over my head in “stuff” but also kind of sticking my head in the sand and pretending like it’s not all out there....waiting on me to decide, build, write, do, call, etc. 🙈😂 I’m trying to prioritize things and instagram has been on the bottom of the list 😬 but I wanted to check in and say hi! I’ve got a lot of awesome projects I’ve finished and am trying to get motivated enough to post on the blog between paperwork and chores and to dos 🤦🏼‍♀️ our house is set to sell next month 🤞🏻 and we’ve got some potentially exciting plans for what’s next. Also, I’m building a new bed as we speak 🙌🏻 and I went with poplar due to “poplar” vote (get it? Poplar...popular) hahah it’s funny how funny I think I am 😂 so. Much. Stuff. Stay tuned. Eventually I’ll get back to normal and be posting a million plans! 😉 #woodworking #diyblogger #overwhelmed #diyer
  • So funny story 😅 we are moving in about a month. I’ve been wanting a new bedroom set for a while and thought this was a good time to sell it so we didn’t have to move it. So I sold it and now we are on a mattress on the floor 🙃 the hubs hates it so I’m going to build a new bed before we move because I’m not sure how long I’ll be without a shop once we get out of our house 😬 I’m wanting a light, natural color modern bed and debating these options. We have poplar, white oak, birch, and Kentucky coffee wood. Im leaning towards the poplar because I’m weird (why does everyone hate poplar??), but wanting some opinions. It’ll be a very simple style bed. Help a girl out! #decisionsdecisions #modernwoodbed #adventuresinmoving #woodoptions #diy #woodworking

  • Let’s just not talk about how awful my form is, or how pale my legs are, or how I can only do four at a time 🙈 let’s just talk about how we test how strong our furniture is when we build it. What’s your tried and true method? This is mine 😂 #woodworking #strengthtest #kregjig #sneakpeek #diy #buildlikeagirl
  • I’m going to be honest. I’m struggling. I’d love to tell you about all the awesome stuff I’m accomplishing and about how I’m kicking butt and highly motivated and getting crap done. But that would be a lie. It’s not that things are going BAD, it’s just that there’s just A LOT going ON. Too much. Selling our house has been a major contributor to the stress. So many unknowns about where we are going (because we have to be out next month and have no where to go 😳) or what if the sale falls through? Will I have a shop wherever we go? Will I have to put building and blogging on hold? It’s just a lot weighing on my mind. So I’m not very motivated at he moment. I see so many people on here so motivated and being awesome and I feel like in all my mental fog, I’m falling behind a little bit more every day. But comparison is the thief of joy. Everyone goes through phases and right now I’m in the valley. And that’s okay. I’m just keeping my head above water. So if I seem absent, I’m still here! Just a little more preoccupied right now. Things are good. They will be good. God will take care of all the unknowns. And it will be good. ❤️ ps plans for this keepsake box I made before I potentially lose my shop in the move soon are in the link in profile 😉 #trusthim #keepsakebox #woodworking #lifeupdate
  • The gangs all here. Of course, there’s never enough clamps, but I pulled out almost every one I had for this glue up. It was stressful but I think it’ll work 😬 I just twisted the last one tight and slowly backed away and shut the door 😳 🤞🏻please stay clamped, please stay clamped. So as I’m looking to invest in some more clamps, tell me what’s your favorite and if there is some specialty clamp that’s changed your life that I need to buy! #alltheclamps #neverenoughclamps #woodworking #gorillaglue #besseyclamps #dewalttough #ponyclamps #rocklerwoodworking #glueup
  • I just got home from the local nursery with the hubs and we bought a banana tree for the front porch. It was an excruciating adventure and there was a ton of indecisiveness and picking plants up, carrying them around, then putting plants back. But ultimately I think we made a good choice 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂 stay tuned for the tutorial for these retro planter boxes. In the mean time, please, someone, tell me I’m not the only person who always carries stuff around the store then puts it back and leaves without buying anything?? 🙈 #bananatree #planterbox #modernhome #modernplanter #banana #diy #kregjig #buildsomethingwithkreg #plywood
