Looking Forward to a Little Green Even if it's Just Inside!

Whose ready for spring yet?  I know I say I want snow, but with two good snowstorms under our belt in the last week or so as well as a school closure, I'm kinda itching to see some green instead of all the white.  I know green isn't coming outside for a while, but to brighten our spirits I'm bringing the green inside.  So the plan is to start lettuce and spinach seeds indoors, but I needed a place to plant them so I created these planting crates out of cedar wood and some leftover barnwood.  Come on and see how easy these are to make, and you probably have all the supplies necessary already!

🥂 Welcome 2019! 🥂 New Goals New Organization

Does anyone have any good new year's resolutions?  I have to admit I have a few personal ones as well as some professionally.  One of them was to be more organized and consistent professionally this year, so I needed to create something to keep me on track and focused.  Focused being the key word there!  I decided to create an organization calendar for my artisan studio that is sure to help me keep that new year's resolution.

The Simplest of Tables

To say this project was simple is spot on and anyone can make it!  I needed a potting table in my tool shed with a place to keep all my pots, dirt, and tools plus give me a space to work and make a mess with not a care in the world about clean up.  Here's the finished product, come learn how easy this table really was.

How Many Years Have We Been Doing This Project?

I'm embarrassed to say how long it's taken to put this half bath project together, I was blogging about it in 2015.  All the components were there from salvaged items to fabric for the valence over the window, it was just that last little piece of the puzzle that we couldn't seem to get finished.  Well I'm excited to announce that it's done, our builder boring half bath is now a totally customized and unique space that fits our house perfectly.

New Year New Signs

What a whirlwind we had toward the end of last year including a couple of firsts for our growing company.  We were pleased to announce our first ever entry into a local craft fair, and that went so well we squeaked into another just a couple of weeks later with equal amounts of success.  2017 also brought the launch of our online store at DiscoveryHomesColorado.com, plus we put together several custom orders for new and returning customers, with that said we've been a little lax on our blogging which we are ready to change!  Starting off the new year right by giving you a few pictures of some of our custom orders and biggest sellers!

Where did the summer go??

Holy smokes is it fall already??  Didn't the summer just start?  Well I guess if it went that fast then I know we had a good time, right?  Between the camping, visits to Wyoming, and an epic opportunity to see the total solar eclipse, I can safely and confidently say that yes we had a good summer.  

Now that we are decorating for fall and bidding summer adieu, it's been super fun to create new decor for maybe one of my most favorite seasons.  We have just rolled out some of our latest wooden decor for home just in time to decorate for fall.

It's Porch Sitting Time

I'm so ready to be outside, who's with me!  School's almost done, and it's time to get out working in the yard, and when you're done for the day there is nothing better than filling a glass of iced tea (or red wine) and sitting on the porch, but first it has to be ready for the season.

Don't Throw Out the Leftovers!

We all have some leftover scrap from finished projects, so this particular project takes using your leftovers to a whole new meaning.  Remember these doors?  They became library shelves and storage in our work studio, but I still had the bottom half of the dirty door from the library shelves.  By adding a leftover drawer front I had laying around from an old dresser I refinished, what did I get?

Sprucing Up the Dining Room

I worked on a bunch of little projects this week.  They aren't as satisfying as the big reveal to me, but you get a bunch of them under your belt, and you've got yourself a success almost as satisfying as a big project.  Almost!  I got a little more barnwood this week, and I was searching for some with a little bit of green in it.  These particular pieces had clearly been outside in the weather, and have a little moss color to them.

Additions for the Paris Room

It's a good thing that for the most part my kids are patient with me, at least in the realm of room decorations.  A week ago we remade a nightstand and gave it a Paris flare, well now time to add a few more touches.

Making a Few Custom Designed Ornaments

When we finally finished our basement I knew that I wanted a Christmas tree down there.  We have the one on the main floor that we cut down and decorate as a family with all the sentimental ornaments, but the basement one could be whatever I wanted it to be, and seen as how copper is turning into one of my favorite colors, copper and blue it was.

Storage Galore for Our Organizational Needs

Last week we started a serious upgrade of our organization in the artisan/work studio.  This week we continue all things organizing by adding much needed storage to this space, while we have created different shelving units using salvaged 2 x 12's or 2 x 6's on a couple of occasions here on the blog, these particular storage units combined both designs.

No Trespassing by order of the Boy!

A long, and I do mean a long time ago, we started working on my sons new move to the basement with a cool new paint job for his room.  We of coarse still have more to add to finish up his room, but this new sign we made from a old salvaged box spring mattress is perfect.
