DIY Plant Stands From a Thrifted Bar Stool

DIY Plant Stand

I have been working on a bedroom transformation and was in need of something to fill an empty space in the corner. So naturally, I went to my favourite home decor store, HomeSense to have a look to see what I could find.As i was browsing the isle, I found myself going back numerous times to have another look at the plant pots. The ones that caught my eye the most were the pots that came with the wooden stands. I had myself convinced that this is what my empty corner needed. So I grabbed one to have a better look.As soon as I grabbed it i noticed how unstable and "cheap" it was made. It was made "cheap" but the price tag still said 79.99. So, thats when I told myself " you are a wood worker, you can make a better one".So, I decided to not only build a few for myself but share my process with you as well, so you can build some too.

Installing Rustix Wood Wall Boards to Our Master Bathroom

This post is sponsored by Rustix. All opinions are my own. Wood walls, wood boards and any sort of wood home accent has become a “thing.” I have to say I think this popular trend is here to stay!

When Rustix reached out to collaborate with a wood plank project, I knew exactly where I wanted to use it!

Cocktail Cabinet Becomes Oh So Art Deco

A friend was clearing out her mom’s furniture and messaged me to ask if I wanted an antique bar cabinet that belonged to her great-grandmother. And of course, I did!! I drove straight over to her town the next day and picked it up (before she had a chance to change her mind!). Once I got it home and had a closer look, I was beyond thrilled with the piece. It has a built-in music box!! I have worked with a lot of antique and vintage furniture, but I’ve never seen that before!!!! It also has a slide out serving tray. Jackpot!

Basement Dry Bar – Industrial Design

As part of our quest to finish our basement knew I wanted to add a bar area. Since we were conscious of our budget, it wasn’t worth it to us to go the wet bar route and spending a fortune on moving the plumbing. I wanted something that looked good without costing a fortune. The solution was simple- we decided to build a basement bar ourselves. Here I will share with you how we added our basement dry bar for under $300!

Frame A Builder Mirror

Have you ever removed a builder grade mirror? It’s not fun. Plus, the glue behind can ruin the drywall and removing that can be quite a hassle. When we decided to update our master bathroom on a tight budget I knew that I wanted to frame the mirror instead of removing it. The only issue in our bathroom is that the mirror has a beveled mirror frame and I was concerned about how the wood would stick.We had scrap wood 1x4s on hand so that’s the wood I used. I started by measuring the mirror and then cutting each board to length with alternating 45 degree angles. Do not forget that you want your measurements to run correctly from tip to tip on the 45 degree angles.Once we made the cuts, we laid out the frame in the garage to ensure it fit together- it did... yay!Next we used the kreg jig (excellent tool for the price if you don’t have one) to create hidden pocket holes to secure each corner of the frame with a hidden screws.Once the whole frame was together, I used wood filler to smooth any gaps and then painted the frame.Finally we carried the frame upstairs and put a bead of special mirror glue on the whole frame. Once we set it place, I secured with painters tape for 24 hours before removing them!

Budget-Friendly Coastal Wall Decor

Uncategorized Budget-Friendly Coastal Wall Decor Are you looking for budget-friendly coastal wall decor for your home? I’ve got a really simple and totally budget-friendly project for you! Last year, my girls came home from a trip to Hilton Head and decided they wanted to replicate the coastal/beachy feel in their bedroom. I agreed, but with lots of reservations and my own stipulations. Often the decor in beach houses and condos borderlines on cheesy. I mean, it’s possible to overdo seashells, sea creatures, anchors, and other nautical accessories. Every home decor store has a section dedicated to this motif. Since I was the person paying for this transformation, I wanted it all to be done with touches of coastal, yet still be classy and not too juvenile. In all of my Pinterest searches, I came across some really neat decor ideas that I decided I could DIY!

DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table

This DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table took a sad thrift store table and turned it into something that is pretty again in a few, short steps. I found this table at my local Salvation Army store.

This little guy did catch my eye, but I took my time getting to it, stopping to check out other things along the way.

DIY Wood Towel Holder Ring With a Shelf

Finding a good location to hang your towels in the bathroom could be a challenge, especially if you’re limited on wall space. But it makes it even more challenging if you have kids. If the towel bar is attached to drywall, eventually the bar might be ripped off the wall and you’ll end up with a big hole. Having this issue I decided to make my own DIY Wood Towel Holder Ring with a Shelf. This towel holder attaches directly to the stud and will take some effort to be ripped off and doesn’t take much wall space.I made this project using scrap pieces that I had laying around in my scrap pile. If you have some scrap wood and interested in building something out of wood, this could be a great project to try. I created a step-by-step plan with 3D illustrations.For more info and printable PDF visit my website at TheDIYPlan.com
