I am loving this DIY home office built-in bookshelves and desk, AND I am also loving that I finally got some stuff in them to decorate the space up a little. I have a bad habit of getting so excited to finally share my finished projects with you that most of the time the paint […]

I mentioned before that I wasn’t sure I was going to add a pencil drawer drawer to the Dining Room built-ins. Up until now I have not owned a table saw but you might recall that right before I started on this project, I got one for my birthday. I decided to try my hand […]
