What do you think about red brick houses? Some people love them and their prestigious look. Others are quick to paint them white, gray, white-washed, or really any other color you can think of! Our former rental house was a red brick ranch, built in the 1950s. We left it as-is, but I’ve been trackingContinue reading “Painting a Red Brick House”

DIY Portable Workshop Table
Our next door neighbor is getting his workshop set up, and he has enlisted Stephen for some help with it. The first thing he asked Stephen to build for him was a portable (rolling) workshop table. He wanted it to be about 3′ x 6′, two levels, with wheels and laminate on top. I gotContinue reading “DIY Portable Workshop Table”
Updating an Existing Mud Area
Building a mud area at my sister’s house got me thinking about our mud area at our house. Our mud area was built when the house was built, and we use it ALL the time… backpacks, purses, jackets, lunch boxes, shoes, and more! But, I figured I could make it a little bit cuter ANDContinue reading “Updating an Existing Mud Area”

DIY Double Dog Kennel
Whew! We just wrapped up a big project for some of our friends. They had asked us if we could build a double dog kennel, one that looks like a nicer piece of furniture. They had just moved into a new and beautiful home, and wanted their kennel to look nicer in one of theirContinue reading “DIY Double Dog Kennel”
Laundry Room Board & Batten
Another part of my sister’s laundry room that we changed was adding board and batten to the walls! We did this similar to how we did our kitchen’s board and batten. If you recall, the issue with using real pieces of wood is that the thickness of the wood overhangs the thickness of the baseboard.Continue reading “Laundry Room Board & Batten”
Mud Room- Finishing Touches
So, we talked about the bench part of the mud area we created, and we also talked about the shelf on top. Now, let’s talk about the rest of the project- framing, hooks, painting, etc. We purchased three 8 foot pieces of 1x4s. We went ahead and did a coat of white on the boards,Continue reading “Mud Room- Finishing Touches”
