These shelves are now finished and styled. To see them click here! Our Master Bath is pretty small when you compare it to Master Bathroom’s in newly built homes. A master bath (or “ensuite”) wasn’t an important component when checking off “must-haves” while house hunting. If the master bedroom included an ensuite, then we were… Continue reading Chunky Floating Shelves and Adding Storage to a Small Bath
Recently I have really been on a shelf kick. I built the chunky floating “spa” shelves in our master bathroom. Followed by the ledge shelves for our books in the playroom. And now I just finished a floating shelf in our downstairs powder room. If you are sick of reading about shelving units I don’t… Continue reading DIY Floating Shelf Above The Toilet In Our Powder Room
I was so excited about the “DIY – Between the Studs Storage” until it was finished and I didn’t love the end product… there was something missing in the trimwork.

So a between the studs storage… Continue reading Between The Studs Storage – Adding More Storage to the Master Bathroom

We have a pretty big room designated just for laundry, but the only thing in there was a utility sink, an old fridge and the washer and dryer. So I decided I needed to build some shelves. I wanted to use the corner… Continue reading Laundry Room Makeover – Part 4: Pantry
When trying to maximize the space in our laundry room I decided I wanted to separate our washer and dryer and add a counter to go between the two appliances.

After building this very… Continue reading Laundry Room Makeover Part 5 – MORE Counter Space
One of the first things that we did after moving into our house was renovate the kitchen. As part of this renovation we had the corner bench above built to fit one corner of the kitchen.
