I’ve written about my need of changing my “gun room” to a nursery, and the time has finally come. My wife is a few months pregnant, so it’s time to clean the room and whip it into shape. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a before photo, so just imagine this room with boxes, and in the…
Hey Everyone! I hope you are all getting this Mother’s Day weekend off to a great start. Don’t be like me and wait until the last minute to get a gift. Today I am thrilled to be guest posting over at Remodelaholic. Create this play set (chalkboard table and matching seats) inspired by the wooden…
I couldn’t make an Alphabet Blocks inspired Play Table without making matching seating. I wanted the seating to do double duty. Kids come with a lot of…toys. (What did you think I was going to say?)
