Easy Shiplap Tutorial
Shiplap is a look that is definitely “in” right now… and I have always loved the look of it. I wanted to shiplap the wall behind our fireplace and have done a lot of research for a while now on the best way to do it.

How to Add Storage Shelves to an Unfinished Attic
Stephen helped my mom out this weekend in her attic. The attic space is a good size, but the available space to add flooring for storage is minimal. This is mostly due to there not being ample flat 2X4s to screw the flooring into. (There are a lot of angled, diagonal pieces of wood).

My daughter wanted some corner shelves in her room that could fit a bunch of her knick knacks. Stephen was able to measure out what she wanted to put on them, and then custom-make the shelves for her! The best part? These were all made from scrap wood pieces! He started off by painting theContinue reading “DIY Corner Shelves”
DIY Workshop Table
Stephen has created a really cool workshop, but lately he’s realized how helpful it would be to have a taller work space (to put items on for sanding, caulking, doing anything while standing so he isn’t constantly on his knees). He whipped together some plans and created his own (ginormous) (taller) work table! The conceptContinue reading “DIY Workshop Table”
How to Cover & Prevent Mildew with Primer
Our mountain house is constantly humid. It’s in the woods, surrounded by trees, so there’s not a lot of sun that hits the actual house. Inside, that translates to an overall damp feeling. One thing we have noticed is that there are small mildew spots along the white trim/doors in the downstairs. When I gotContinue reading “How to Cover & Prevent Mildew with Primer”
Benjamin Moore Stratton Blue HC-142
Our family owns a very old mountain cabin in the Carolina mountains. We have been thinking about doing some fun project ideas that I’m sure you will see here in the future… but in the meantime, I made a little change and painted the door to the bathroom. The color I chose was Stratton BlueContinue reading “Benjamin Moore Stratton Blue HC-142”
