How to Build a Wood Floor Countertop

I got lots of questions about my Office Countertop after I posted that I built it out of Oak Flooring. So, I created some sketch-ups to try to give you a better idea of how you can make all your dreams come true…if you’re dreaming of wood floor countertops that is! *I’m purposely not...

House Tour – Craft Room

The last room on my house tour is the Craft Room! This space was SO much fun to design and build!  It was MY space.  No one else’s wants, needs, input or concerns to consider.  Just whatever my craft lovin’ heart desired (and I could bring to fruition!) I planned out the height of each drawer...

House Tour – Basement TV Room

Thanks for the virtual hugs on my last post! Now here’s the room tour for today.   The TV room is accessed from the “Stage” room through this pocket door. It’s just a hollow core door that came with the pocket door “kit”. I wanted a real barn door in this room...

House Tour – Playroom

Moving this tour on down to the basement.  Get to the bottom of the stairs, turn right…welcome to the Playroom! The first project I built in here was the shutters.  (Vinyl is from Target.) Then I built a Playhouse facade on the closet.  The inside of the closet has cork board panels so you can...

House Tour – Laundry Room and Office Hallway

Off the Kitchen is another hallway leading to the garage on the right.  There are 3 doors on the left which lead to a small pantry, the laundry room and a storage closet.  The office is straight ahead. The Laundry Room is pretty small so there wasn’t a whole lot I could do in there other than...

House Tour – Kitchen

The Kitchen is off to the right of the entrance hall.  I know I’ve shared the details of this remodel before but this is an “every room” House Tour so…   Here it is! Before After   Check out my Kitchen Remodel post for more details. If you’re just joining...

House Tour – Downstairs Hallway and Powder Room

Moving back down to the first level now, we’ll walk down the Hallway towards the kitchen.  Off to your right is the Powder Room (and a coat closet.) Before. New flooring, extra light, a little paint, some woodwork- and this space has a whole new look! I’ll go ahead and answer a...
