An upholstered footstool is one of the gifts that I made for Pip for Christmas this year, in my quest to have one room in this house completely finished up. This is part of how I made it–I say part, because I think I deleted the building part of the pictures…oops! It is so simple […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! This post was originally a guest post for Brittany over at Pretty Handy Girl a little over two weeks ago. I so appreciate that she featured me over there! If you didn’t catch it then, here is the Pink Toe version 🙂 *** Based on today’s post, I’m going to predict that […]

First I want to apologize for this post being sent prematurely several days ago. I have no idea what happened–I started writing up the post, left the computer for a bit, came back to finish it, and discovered it was published. So sorry about that–and it was blank at the time it was published as […]

My Man just recently showed me how to cut with our his compound miter saw. It was intimidating, but not as much as a circular saw is to me. I now had the ability to cut boards, but not boards that are too wide. My first attempts were not promising. I could not get the […]

Here is the final result of the storage closet door. The closet still needs a lot of work, but the storage door has helped! I am not going to make one for the other side. This unit makes the door pretty heavy and it isn’t the easiest to get into because of the carpet. It […]

Ok, so it was my first attempt at building. Ana provided me with a great plan and idea for my own house, but let’s face it people, she can’t hold my hand while I fumble through the process. It was a good thing this was out of sight–I did

Ana’s plans for the storage closet doors involve bi-fold doors in a room with hardwood floors. If you have this type of door, you should check out what she did. The door I will be putting this on is a regular door in a room with carpet. Ana uses 1 1/4″ casters, which probably work […]
