Sitting in the woods around the campfire gives me lots of time to think… and plan!  I have so many thoughts and ideas going through my head all of the time.  To be honest, I have been feeling a little humdrum about this rental.  We wanted to be out of here by now.  We actually […]

We are on a pallet kick.  ????  I have no clue why.  Maybe it’s because pallets are free and easy to get in our area.  We made the neutral American Flag from a pallet and then Deb used the leftover scraps to make a wooden tray that I currently have in our home decor.  She […]

I get asked all of the time about my handmade Antiques sign that looks like a real antique piece.  It was SO EASY.  I have never actually shown how to do it because I made it years ago, before I had this little space.  And, before I had my social media accounts.  It all started […]

Did you catch the neutral American flag project that Deb and I shared a few days ago?  We made it from free pallets.  Well.. we had extra boards left from those pallets and Deb decided to use the boards to create something else.  She took a few boards and whipped me up a little box.  […]

I’m not a color person. And that was probably one of the dumbest things I’ve said in a while because you already know that.  ????   If you have been around here for a while, you know that I feel most comfortable with my woods and whites theme throughout our house.  I love color in other people’s […]

Deb and I made a DIY bird feeder stand out of an old cast iron light post at the old house in the woods years ago.  And, we loved it.  It keeps all of the different bird feeders in one location.  We had a porch column in our stash and Deb decided to make another […]

If you follow along on Instagram, you have seen us creating our new fire pit in the woods.   Some have asked, “Why are you creating a fire pit before you build the house?”   Why not?    For those who have built before, you know it’s not a fast process.  We have several people lined up […]

  NOTE:  We approve everything we do here at the rental with our landlords.  We aren’t using our own money as we do have a barter system with them for these projects.  It’s a question I get multiple times whenever I post about them.   I’ve told you several times that we will be here […]
