Dog Bed

We adopted a dog from the Humane Society a month ago. Her name is Zoey! She is a beagle / german shepherd mix. I am obsessed with her. Before we even got a dog my husband made the rule “no dogs on the bed.” So I knew I had to make her the coolest bed…

Ruler Growth Chart

My kids are little now (1 and 3 years old) but they are growing so fast. I wanted to document it on an adorable ruler growth chart. There are a lot of ruler growth chart DIY tutorials on Pinterest, which is where I first got the idea. Some use sharpie marker for the number and…

Repurposed Headboard Bench

I am SO excited how this project turned out. I had been looking for a bench with storage for my front door. Same old story…everything was either blah or way too expensive. I saw a headboard repurposed into a bench on Pinterest, so I summoned up the determination/motivation to make one myself. I searched for a…

Corbel Entryway Table

I made a corbel table! I first saw this Shanty-2-Chic DIY Console table that I thought was adorable and knew I wanted to do something similar for my entryway. At Shanty-2-Chic, she uses pre-made turned dining table legs. While searching for my own to buy, I found these corbels at Architectural Depot. I decided to go down my…

Mudroom Hooks

This was a really easy project that I made for my mudroom that has been awesome for hanging lots of coats during our crappy Michigan winters. I searched for something to buy but nothing was big enough and everything to was too expensive. Project time! I found a piece of wood in my basement that the…

Repurposed Shot Bag Pillow

I love antique packaging because the logos, typography, colors and illustrations are so beautiful. I have a whole section dedicated to it in my Etsy store. They used to make canvas bags for many things such as shot, grain/feed, flour, money, military uses, hardware supplies, and more. Canvas is an easy material to repurpose if you have basic sewing…

Indoor Basketball Hoop

We had a large empty wall in the boys’ playroom. I thought briefly about making a big bulletin board to hang their drawings, but thought they’d have much more fun with a basketball hoop! I wanted to make my own backboard, I just needed to find a used hoop. I hopped on Craigslist and found one…

All You Need Is Love Artwork

The Beatles song “All You Need Is Love” is the song that played during the recessional of my wedding ceremony so it holds an extra special place in my heart. I knew I wanted to create a wall art typography piece in my living room with the song quote. I was walking through Menards just…

Mason Jar Centerpiece

I met a man who wanted to get rid of 100+ antique mason jars that had been sitting in his barn for years and years. I brought them home and had a (not) fun time cleaning them all. I was planning on re-selling them, but of course I wanted to keep some for myself. They…

Letterpress Coffee Table

I am obsessed with antique letterpress type. I first became interested in college while sitting through one of my graphic design history classes. They used to hand place these moveable-type blocks in printing presses to create newspapers, books, posters, etc. I started buying and selling the type for my online Etsy store and it ended up…
