Should I do more furniture flips? This was a weirdly short dining table that wasn’t quite short enough to be a coffee table, so I removed the legs. For the top I added a micro cement to give it a stone look, then used plumbing pipe for the legs. I wrapped them in a peel and stick veneer to

If your painted DIY furniture is chipping, peeling, or showing horrible brush strokes, you are probably skipping the most important prep steps! Getting that flawless, factory smooth finish is actually super easy when you follow these rules: ✨ Prep is everything: Always scuff sand with 220-grit

If your projects are splintering, warping, or looking blotchy when you stain them, it’s time to graduate to cabinet-grade plywood. It is NOT "fake wood", it's actually one of the strongest materials you can use! Welcome back to Furniture Building 101! Here is your plywood lumberyard cheat sh

DIY furniture doesn’t have to be hard to build to look expensive. We needed storage in our living room so I built this super easy sofa table. How do you think it turned out? Let me know if you want the plans in the comments!

I’m going to teach you how to revive an old cutting board! I have been putting this off for 3 years even though it’s incredibly easy to do. Here’s exactly how I did it (save this for when you do yours!): 1. scribble all over the board with a pencil, then sand with 80 grit, 120 and 150.

If you want a beautiful finish on your cutting board or your kitchen projects these are the only two finishes you need to know about: 1. Hardening oil (@@RMP FinishesHalf and Half) it’s 100% natural and soaks deep in the wood and hardens from the inside out. 2. RMP Wood Wax A mix of waln

It’s so true 🤣 So am I a carpenter? It’s been almost 6 years of teaching myself how to woodwork and I’m so glad I became a stay at home mom because I definitely wouldn’t have found this any other way. Just goes to show it’s never too late to find what you’re passionate about!

e badly needed more organization in our kitchen so I built a pull out tupperware drawer! This drawer would be great for pots, pans and anything else you need to organize. Send this to someone who needs to start their spring organizing. #kitchenorganization #diyfurniture

3 builds to get your home ready for spring! Getting excited for patio season by looking back at a few of my favorite outdoor builds from over the years. That porch swing is still my favorite spot to relax. If you want dimensions, tips, or have questions about the swing, planter or flower

The kitchen cabinets on our island have absolutely no organization. We’ve been keeping our tupperware in there (with a bunch of other stuff) and I can never find the matching lid. So I decided to build a rolling drawer with storage on the top and bottom so I can easily see what matches. Co

If your DIY furniture started wobbling the second you brought it inside, I promise it’s not your fault, you just bought the wrong wood! 👇 🪵 STOP BUYING 2x4 FRAMING LUMBER FOR FURNITURE Construction lumber is meant to be trapped inside your walls. It has a super high moisture content, which means

I ripped out my fireplace and replaced it with IKEA…. 😅 Were you surprised by the color?

I feel in love with a $4,000 designer table but needed something that would perfectly fit our small eat in kitchen…plus I would never pay that for furniture. So I built it myself! Who says DIY can’t look high end? Let me know if you want the build plans in the comments.

I ripped out my fireplace… Was it a huge mistake? probably. This is part 1 of ripping out my fireplace and replacing it with cabinets.

if you’re just starting out, walking down the tool aisle at the hardware store could be incredibly intimidating (and expensive). But here is the honest truth. You only need a few basic tools to build 90% of beginner projects. Start small. Master the basics. Let your skills dictate when it’s time

Honestly, I didn’t think I could do it either! But I desperately needed a solution to hold all my girls toys, so I decided to tackle this giant media console build. Let me tell you, it holds SOOO much. It totally transformed our space and finally hides the clutter. Let me know if you would l

Everyone said tiling is messy and takes forever. Instead I used Musselbound adhesive mats, so I can just stick it on and grout in the same day. There was a lot less mess than with mortar and it’s holding up amazing! Have you tried this stuff yet? let me know in the comments! #DIYfir

Recapping how to sand properly! One of my most asked questions. Sanding makes or breaks your project.

Everyone measure perfectly, cut on the line, and then realize your board is too short? 😫 Welcome to Furniture Building 101: Episode 4. Here is the problem: Your saw blade isn't invisible. It has thickness (called "kerf"). Usually, that blade eats up about 1/8” of wood. So if you cut directly
