A weekend DIY project… I posted these refinished bar stools on social media and people seemed to like them, so I thought I’d put together a short tutorial on how I refinished them. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission which helps keep my blog up and running but it won’t…

What to do with all your saved wine corks… Are you a wine drinker like me? Do you save all your corks like me too? Then they sit there in a vase or jar or something forever and you think, what the heck am I gonna do with all these, but you can’t seem to throw them all away? Sound familiar? Well, I finally decided to do something with all…
balls… hehehe, it’s just one of those words that makes you laugh. Like the Schweddy balls skit on Saturday Night Live. If you have never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s hilarious! So when I made these giant DIY Christmas balls for the huge tree in our front yard (and had a total Pinterest fail) there were a lot of jokes and laughs had by all. …
DIY Wine Bottle Christmas Craft… I posted this DIY wine bottle Christmas craft idea on social media and had a nice response so I thought I’d write up a quick tutorial on how I did it, even though it is probably pretty self explanatory. These only took me about 1/2 hour to make (not including waiting for the paint to dry). By the way, if you like these tutorials, and my…

Step by Step on How to Refinish a Dark Wood Table… Refinishing our dark wood table was something I’ve wanted to do since we moved into the House house, but I was a little afraid of ruining it. I loved this table, and it’s color, when we first bought it over 14 years ago, but it just didn’t look right in our new home. We use it as a kitchen table…
Summer is flying by. I can’t believe it is already mid July! We hosted our first House house party on July 4th. It was just a smallish, last minute get together but it was a great time. We lit some fireworks off in our backyard (it is legal here in FL) but it was hard to compete with natures fireworks. The lighting storm was CRAZY. Nothing makes you get more…
I really wish I could take credit for building this amazing table, but I can’t. However, my buddy Patrick ‘Chubbs’ Lawson can. He made this out of pallet wood. Pallet wood people! Isn’t it amazing? I love the rustic look and feel of it. Check out how he did it…. (I also found this comprehensive article on How to Build a Farmhouse Dining Table that uses regular wood, not pallets, so…
