Our Garden
sw The lasagna method. That’s how I was taught to prepare a garden. So, a year ago I hacked down a bush in the back...
Bedroom Makeover
He said: So, I recognize that all this stuff might give one the impression that Brianna and I are somehow synchronized...
Loft Bed Curtains
He said: Our Bronco’s fan has a loft style bed with the desk area underneath. In an effort to provide some privacy -- well, let’s be honest here, it’s to hide the mess -- we fashioned up this curtain. The bed frame is metal so the obvious answer is magnets. Full...
Grandkid Photo Display
He said: Simple and meaningful. Those are the best gifts. Here’s another great example. I go to the backyard wood pile and she goes to the crafting desk. Twenty minutes later, voila! Somehow, the perfect piece of wood always presents itself for projects like this. I...
Branch Shelf
He said: A while back on our Facebook page, we asked what project we should do next. One person picked this and that person’s birthday happened to be coming up; so guess what that person got for a birthday present!? The boards are from the blue stain pine stash and...
Barnwood Clock
He said: Once again, a handmade gift is the best. And this one, I almost didn’t want to let go. I went back to the barnwood stash and found a couple really cool pieces with tinges of orange and teal. I cut them down to size and fastened them together. I used the good...

Love Shelf
He said: Oh, how love is a journey. And, it seems, this sign-shelf thingy is a physical manifestation of that. Born during new love. Moved around. Extra meaning acquired. Adventures in the Hills. Touched by those who support love. A centerpiece of life. Built with...
Valentine’s Painting
He said: Brianna and I often think alike. Like, exactly alike. At exactly the same time. However, when it comes to painting, lol, we do not take the same approach. Perhaps it’s my lack of fine motor skills but my “style” tends to be harsh while hers is smooth and...
Tetris Shelves
He said: She wanted shelves but my go-to certainly isn’t brackets and MDF. Once again, putting in the effort to think about the target audience led to a much more engaging and meaningful piece. I tried to measure these out so they would actually stack but I was off...
Pot Rack
He said: I’ve always wanted one of those hanging racks for pots and pans. This is a good compromise. And how simple...a 2x4, equally distribute the hooks, sink ‘em in, and hang the thing. Probably the simplest project we’ve posted so far! She said: Again, tiny...
