Okay, so you saw how my Dad and I built our DIY Ana White harvest table here. Well, although I was feeling seriously triumphant for building it (holla!!), I still had to sand, stain, and finish this thing. Step 1 // Fill all of the nail holes using paintable wood filler. It's like patching any wall in your house - just fill it in with putty and smooth over with a spatula-type ... View the Post

How To Turn a Thrift Store Yarn Light into An Industrial Pendant
The two flush-mount, ultra boring light fixtures that we had in our front entryway and hallway had been on the "to replace" list since we moved in 3 years ago. Here was the under $10 light fixture that had been in our hallway since the early days. It did the trick, but wasn't much to look at. Since it was perfectly functional and not high on the priorities list, we needed something ... View the Post
