Puzzles are so fun to work on this time of the year! (Winter!) Cavallini Papers makes fun vintage themed puzzles and these are some of our favorites. I framed the vintage ”Travel” and ”National Parks” puzzles. The colors look great the other game boards I framed. (Below) Building the Frame Building the frame is relatively...
Looking for some gift ideas for children? I stumbled upon these cute t-shirts and wanted to pair a little toy to go along with them! These are the t-shirts I purchased from Rivet Apparel Co. Link for the ”Kindness” and the ”Rainbow” t-shirts! Jet Pack This little jet pack was really simple and affordable to...
I seem to be on a roll with closet organization this year. This last project is my second one! TV/display cabinets and bookshelves are a great starting point from which to build closet storage. These pieces frequently have a wood face frame which is more solid than particle board components in closet systems. Habitat for...
Paint color and sheen absolutely added to the interest of this small niche. I “gifted” this feature wall as a housewarming present to my nephew who just moved into a new house. This is the before picture of the space. (There used to be a fish tank there.) My nephew selected this photo for design...
