This time last year we were frantically throwing random crap that we don’t need but also for some reason won’t throw out into the final ‘miscellaneous’ box in our rental before we packed up the truck and went a whole three blocks to the house we’d just bought. It’s wild to think that we’ve been…

How to Make a Giant DIY Chalkboard
It’s inevitable our child is going to draw on the walls. She’s only three months old so we’re a ways off yet, but at some point those tiny little hands are going to go full Monet on the drywall, probably having chosen a permanent marker over a pencil knowing our luck. While we’ve accepted that…
How to Build a DIY Photo Ledge (in Under an Hour)

How to Spackle Over Paneling in One Weekend for Less Than $60
Before we get into to how to spackle over paneling, we have to tell you about the way we started making over our master bedroom, which is actually pretty embarrassing.
