This is really a cool idea – a table with storage that is “hidden” within artwork! Sounds crazy, right? It is actually similar to a Murphy bed… The “table” is the frame and back side of the artwork, and inside are a few shelves for storage! When unfolded, the table is bar height which makes [...]
Earlier this week, I posted plans for the Farmhouse Cabinet and today, I’m posting the matching chest. This would be great “doubled” (omitting the side trim and changing the width of the top) also as I mentioned in the post for the cabinet. I may use both pieces when I remodel my craft storage… I [...]
I have several sewing machines. I have been a seamstress since I was a teenager. One of my machines is a vintage Kenmore machine. That sucker is heavy (being an all metal machine) and they certainly don’t make them like this any more. The only problem is that the hard case has yellowed with age. [...]
This cabinet is one of those versatile pieces perfect for any space. It features a drawer at the bottom and three shelves perfect for storing pantry items or craft supplies. It can be used alone (as a single unit) or two pieces side-by-side as an armoire (omit the side trim where the cabinets will join, [...]
This piece is one of those tables that would look great with a vintage, weathered finish! Chippy peeling paint and worn spots… How fabulous! It would also be a great way to test out different colors of paint so that there are many “layers” on it which adds to the vintage look! Plus, as usual [...]
Check this out!! Guy sent me an email mentioning that he was building the Napa Style Inspired American Barnwood Island. I asked him to send photos over so I could see – I’m always wanting to look at the handiwork of others because that is how I get inspired (plus, I get all warm and [...]
When I was a kid, I hated avocados. I have never been a picky eater, in fact the list of foods I don’t like is a whole lot shorter than the list of foods I do like. As I got older, I started eating avocados and I cannot get enough of them. Isn’t it funny [...]
I swear, if I had the wall space, I would build this cabinet to display plates and bowls! I love it – it is such an easy and quick build, plus it can be stained or painted to match any decor! My boyfriend just bought a house that is in dire need of renovation and [...]
About a month ago, my wall oven died. At this point, I’d had it for twelve years and it was acting funny (“F” codes on the screen, shut itself off during cooking, etc.) so I kind of figured the end was near. I already had an idea on what brand I wanted to buy to [...]
I don’t have a shop so my power tools are stored under the carport. I’d really like to make covers to keep the rust off of them and mainly so they don’t get wet during one of our howling Southern rain storms!
My table saw and my miter saw (on the stand) sport waterproof grill [...]
