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. …

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…
