Even though I'm not home and won’t be able to do this until 2025, I'm going to share with you my ideas for my son's bedroom. His room is the third floor of our house. It leads onto a deck, which is enclosed so he can't get out and its perfectly safe. There's also an en suite bathroom and a closet, and it's just a really large space. This room has been multiple things over the years, but it's always had a guest bed in it. So I want to do something special for him and build a house bed like I did for my daughter.

If you don't already know, my family's going to Argentina for six months - myself, my husband, and our two kids. We have somebody staying in our house, but I can't leave my workshop in my parents garage for six months looking messy and disorganized. I'm going to get it all cleaned up, because that's the right thing to do. I also have a couple of things that I need to deal with, like this countertop on my workbench that is covered in epoxy from all of the epoxy pours I've been doing lately. It needs to come off and switched for a different board. I want things organized and put things back together so my parents can utilize their garage while I am gone.

I have been doing tile mat designs for several years now, but it isn't going to Argentina with us. So I decided to share with you some of my favorite tile mat designs that I have done over the years.

My family is going to Argentina for six months for my husband's job. While we are gone, we are going to have some family friends house sit for us. That means that I need to get my house ready for us to be gone for six months because it's a whole different ballgame than moving or just going on vacation. So I'm gonna walk you through some of the things I did to prep for those six months away!

The seasons are changing, it's getting warmer, and the cicadas are coming out here in Tennessee which means it's time for new tile mat designs. I have this tile mat from Letterfolk that I love to create designs for and share them with all of you. I typically like to share a lot of really elaborate designs when I share different seasonal and holiday designs. This summer, though, I'm going a little bit more simple with the designs.

I found this beautiful piece of cedar at a local lumberyard. I didn't need to use the whole thing, so I cut it down and decided that I was going to make an entryway bench for my mom to put in the small area she has when you come in from her garage. Since this space is so tight, I'm keeping this bench pretty narrow. This bench will serve dual purpose and be used as a bench for her table when we have big family gatherings.

I often get asked how I afford my tools. So I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I don't buy all of them/spend big bucks for them!

I found an amazingly gorgeous piece of wormy maple wood at a local lumber yard. I got it for my mom because she needs a new table over her washer and dryer. The last one ended up being, unfortunately, destroyed when we had to swap out her washer and dryer due to some poor decision making not on my part. So, I'm going to take you along with me while I turn this into a laundry room table.

We have a very awkward, narrow, and long side yard. I've talked before about my plans for it and how I want to change up the mulch and the mud and just add more space for us to be able to hang out here. Another thing that I wanted to do was to add a shed. I wanted a place to put our bikes and get stuff off of the patio that we have at the moment and be able to utilize that space.

I'm back again with another tool tutorial. Today we are talking about the Ryobi 15 AMP, 12.5 inch Corded Thickness Planer.

We've had our tile mat for over three years. Every time that I make a new tile mat design I get lots of questions about it. So I thought I would answer the FAQ for you here!

My daughter's current hyper-fixation is birds. She informed me about a month before her birthday party that she wanted to have a phoenix costume for her birthday party. So I decided that since we were doing spring break at home this year, we would gather supplies and work on it during spring break. Let me show you what we did.
