I couldn’t think of a better blog title for this post. 😉 When my mom was looking around at houses, she always said she didn’t want any more grass than she could “cut with fingernail clippers”. Her cute backyard has some shade, some trees, some bushes, and some grass… but my mom got creative andContinue reading “Reducing Backyard Grass”

One Year Blog-iversary!
It has been one year since I started blogging with Hammertime! Blogging has been one of my most favorite things to do. While I’m not a trained writer by any stretch of the imagination, I do enjoy putting my thoughts and ideas down on paper (computer screen?). 😉 On top of blogging, I have reallyContinue reading “One Year Blog-iversary!”
#1: Fireplace Transformation
Hammertime is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our blog, we may earn commissions. If you recall, in the last 9 months, we have completely redone our fireplace area, changing things up about 4 times now. We built a faux mantle and covered up the detailed trim above. Then, we added peel and stickContinue reading “#1: Fireplace Transformation”
#2: Office Makeover
Hammertime is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our blog, we may earn commissions. Remember when I added the green shiplap in my office? I did a lot of thinking (and looking!) about what to do for the top part of the wall. I wanted to do some kind of pattern, but I didn’tContinue reading “#2: Office Makeover”
Medicine Cabinet Makeover
Hammertime is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our blog, we may earn commissions. Ahhh…. medicine cabinets. If you’re really organized, yours will not look like mine did. In fact, it’ll probably look like the opposite of mine. I feel like, with anything medical-related, we buy on a whim (I have a cold- needContinue reading “Medicine Cabinet Makeover”
DIY Custom End table
Stephen recently had a repeat customer reach out about building a specific-sized end table for her mom’s house. She said that the way the room is, there’s one narrow area for an end table to go, but it’s been very hard to find one that fits. So, Stephen worked his magic and came up withContinue reading “DIY Custom End table”
#3: Front Porch Twin-Sized Bed Swing!
My new favorite project!!!! Our friend contacted us about making her a wooden porch bed swing. She had seen them all over Facebook Marketplace but wanted us to do it. Stephen actually bought plans online to show him how to make a really sturdy frame from plankandpillow.com. He used a variety of 2x4s, 2x3s, 1x3s,Continue reading “#3: Front Porch Twin-Sized Bed Swing!”
New Landscaping
Just for fun, and for future comparison, I wanted to share some new landscaping we had done in our backyard! We have a retention pond in our backyard, which isn’t the best thing to have… but on the plus side, they fenced it in nicely and they typically keep it nice and mowed/trimmed. Plus, IContinue reading “New Landscaping”
#4: Finale: Farmhouse Dining Room
Check out the table, bench, and tray together in Rose’s dining room! I’m loving the table with her chandelier, rug, chairs and wall color.
DIY No-Screw Lantern
You may remember that I built a lantern out of scrap wood a few months ago. With our large stack of scrap wood, I decided to build another one! This time, I wanted it taller, and I also didn’t follow any specific plans. I went by what I remembered and what made sense! I cutContinue reading “DIY No-Screw Lantern”
