I told you a few weeks back that the hubs was working on some built-ins...well, he has been doing a great job on them!  Since he was in the building mood, he decided to make a console table with all the scrap MDF he had laying around to hold extra toys. We found our inspiration  Here ..there were plans, but we didn't have enough MDF to make the exact same table, so there was some improv building. The reason it's a $4 table is because I had to make a quick trip to Lowes to get one 1x3 board.  I helped a little(held things in place, painted, moral support), but he was definitely the brains behind the job:o) I'm so proud of my little handy man:o) The canvas baskets came from T.J.

We recycled our entertainment center, and attached it to the wall. Then the hubs made the ...

Photo Credit: Pottery Barn I really wanted it for MY bed, but the hubs and the color white aren't on good terms, so I knew that having it in our room was a no-go:o/ The guest room needs a makeover, so I decided to put it there. I knew that this was something that I could make. Pottery Barn sells this duvet cover for $179.00. That's just the cover...if you don't have a duvet, then there is another added cost. So after ...

IS 3 TODAY:O) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!! For those of you who weren't able to see my guest post at  Infarrantly Creative  last week, here is the tutorial of the Provost Plaque...and for those of you who want to know what this sign means....this is a replica of an antique French pastry shop sign. So here goes... So anyway, I started thinking about what I would want to share with you guys, and it didn't take me long to decide on a knock-off version of the  Ballard Designs  Pruvost Plaque. I have been drooling over this plaque for ages, and knew that I could make it. I just needed the proper motivation...i.e....
