Rustic Industrial from 80’s Oak Bookcase Makeover

It isn’t often that I come across a good trash-to-treasure

furniture piece, but this one is a real keeper. The Hubs actually nabbed it from the trash bin during their last office remodel. It’s an old-fashioned 1980’s oak bookcase that hung on the wall.

Make a Kitchen Island With a Concrete CounterTop, START-FINISH

In this video series we start by making the kitchen

Island with left over flooring that we had left from when we built or house in May of 2015. The other BIG INSPIRATION for the kitchen Island was the weathered corbels that we found at a local antique shop. Once we had those items the rest of the project fell right into place.

Build a Retaining Wall Border

Last year I fancied up my front porch by building a

DIY Corner Bench with a Built-in Table (you can find that project here: http://www.pinspirationmommy.com/diy-corner-bench-with-built-in-table/) and a Firewood Rack. This year I decided the rest of the front of my house needs to be spiced up a bit as well. The paint on my house is dark brown with light brown trim and the grass (okay, yes, they are weeds 🙂 ) grows right up to the front of the house. Don’t judge, there are too many oak trees around here to grow grass and plus, California has been in a years’ long drought! So green weeds are what we get! So, I decided to take on a weekend project to fancy it up a bit!
