I completely renovated my entryway a few weeks ago (check it out here). This new Double X Console Table is the anchor piece to the room. It is a similar style to one of my favorite benches, just made it table-sized. :-) The lumber for this table only cost me about $38! Sweet. How to Build a Double X Console Table … [Read more...]
How to Build a Redwood Pergola with Arch Detail
I am super excited to share with you my latest project. I have started working on creating an outdoor entertaining space and the first item crossed off the list is a redwood pergola!

Wood and Mason Jar Solar Lantern
It's Power Tool Challenge Day and the Theme is Lanterns. I have an old solar powered light post top that I bought years ago to go on my deck stair posts.
