How to Make a Simple Frame For a Canvas

Most of you guys know I live in the Phoenix area. I actually live in the quaint suburb called Gilbert. Downtown Gilbert is full of cute little shops and yummy restaurants; a totally fun place to hang out. Last week, I had the chance to cruise on over to downtown and had one of the best girl's night out ever! Some of my blogging buddies and I were invited to The Art House, where we got to play around and create our own piece of art.

How to Build a Modern Dresser Bookshelf Combo

Remember my boys' shoe storage nightstand? A.K.A. The most useful piece of furniture I've ever built. 

Marble Tilt Table Game Tutorial

I've got a new building project almost anyone can do! I took an off-the-shelf shadow box and turned it into a fun, marble tilt table game. I'm sharing all the details over at The Kim Six Fix . It would make a great idea for a handmade Father's Day or Mother's Day gift.

How to Make a Stacked Plywood Table Lamp

Wow! How is it February already!? Have you ever had a hard time getting back into the groove after taking some time off? I really enjoyed my break during the holidays and being totally honest with you, I was having the hardest time getting my work ethic back (which is very unlike me). I was raised to believe if you aren't working, you're being lazy and being lazy is worse than Nickleback. 

The slump wasn't for lack of inspiration! I always have 100 ideas spinning in my head at any given moment and spent the first few weeks on the year pinning "to-do" items and sketching plans. I finally kicked my butt in gear and tackled a project I've been dying to try - a stacked plywood lamp. I love making lamps! I know electricity sounds scary, but they really are pretty easy. I made a video tutorial for my Ombre Concrete Lamp and we still use our Tapered X Lamps everyday on our nightstands in our bedroom. 

How to Make Knock-Off Table Top Planters

If you are like me, you drool over the West Elm catalog every season. If you're really like me, you're way too big of a cheapskate to spend $49 each for a table top planter.

Happy Holidays everyone! Did you all eat enough turkey last week? I'm currently sitting on the couch eating pie and working on my winter bod. Speaking of winter, I guess it's time to start busting out the holiday decorations. I have a whole page of DIY Holiday ideas, like my 3D Plywood Trees. Today I'm sharing a SUPER easy tutorial anyone can make in a single afternoon. A HUGE industrial metal snowflake door hanger, no special tools required!
