Our home office has this little nook that’s been calling out for some attention. I’ve always had grand plans of tearing out the shelves and wall next to it and creating a two person built-in desk. But it was just something I never got around to. Instead, I took our old IKEA dining table, plopped…

DIY Coral Dresser Makeover
Read moreI’m gonna let you in on a not so little secret. I’m cheap. That’s a large part of why I DIY. Why buy it (or pay someone to do it), when I can make/do it myself for less. I work hard for my money, so I have a hard time justifying spending a large amount…
