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...

Floating Kitchen Shelves

Floating Kitchen Shelves

He said: That wall almost got knocked out. Glad it didn’t because I wouldn’t have made these cool shelves. Basically, what you can see is a box with no back. There’s a 2x4 frame that is anchored into the wall. Then, the box slides right over the frame. Easy! The wife...

Painted Prayers Project

Painted Prayers Project

He said: My amazing wife! It is so cool to see her in her flow state when she’s doing these. These paintings -- and the process -- extract you from logic and intellect and remind you that we are emotional and spiritual beings. I’ve had the awesome opportunity to be...

Kitchen Remodel

Kitchen Remodel

He said: Boring, blah, worn down no more! I know people like to see before and afters but I intentionally did not take any before pictures, oofta. Ha! Used some gift cards to get an oscillating tool. The previous backsplash was some sort of brick facade made of...

Valet/Charging Stand

Valet/Charging Stand

He said: I’m on this kick of making various tabletop things. I saw a few designs of these and had to make one. Somewhere along the way I learned that this is called a “valet”. I spent a good ten minutes talking to the family about how ridiculous of a word that is for...

Scrabble Wall Art

Scrabble Wall Art

He said: She said she wanted to make a Scrabble board with “Family” and all of our names on it. I asked if we had an extra Scrabble board and she said, “Yes.” I asked if there were enough letters for all of that and she said, “Yes.” After it was all glued down and she...

Zig Zag Wine Rack

Zig Zag Wine Rack

He said: Made from scrap pine laying around the garage. I didn’t have a drill press (still don’t...anybody?) so I used the Eyeball Theorem (7th grade geometry class) and just went for it. Worked out good! Staining it Jacoben allows the color of the wine to really come...

Barnwood Wine Rack

Barnwood Wine Rack

He said:  Made from the barnwood stash with the sophistication of a wine drinker (not me) and the rawness of the South Dakota countryside (not so much me either). Using barnwood is great because it speaks for itself with no need for sanding or staining. The boards are...
