The boo and the boy: eclectic kids' rooms. I should be mopping the floor: DIY Crate Tutorial {simple, cheap & easy} #crate, #simplestorage, #inexpensivestorage. Wooden crates are the perfect way to organize in style and on a budget.
Perfect for pantries, toy boxes, closet storage and more {it's a stylish alternative to storage baskets}. Build a DIY Crate with minimal skills and minimal time. We've taken storage bins to a whole new level. Last week, I showed you my Pantry Overhaul {feel free to check that out here}...complete with vintage-inspired wooden crates that corral my chaos {because girls, I've got some serious chaos. I'm a hot mess.}! Now that the pantry has been fully-functional for a couple of weeks, I'm happy to report that the crates are working out beautifully. I first priced out vintage crates...and at $30-$40 a piece, and a bunch of weird, wonky sizes, I decided this would be a DIY project. And would you believe we spent less than $30 for all SIX of these?
While I truly envisioned this being a complete me job with him standing in the background giving me pointers, it turned into our usual. Getting ready to attach the side pieces.

Put a cork in it! Wine Bottle Light. November 3rd, 2009 This past spring Daniel and I went on a road trip from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon.
Along the way we stopped at Chateau Julien for a wine tasting. I wanted to do something with the empty bottle instead of throwing it in the recycling bin. So here it is! You’ll need: an empty wine bottle a drill safety glasses and gloves (just in case the bottle breaks) 1/2″ glass drill bit masking tape short strand of Christmas lights (with a plug only on one end) How to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. DIY Concrete Letter. May 9th, 2013 I’ve been wanting to play with concrete, and I thought a two-tone concrete letter would look awesome sitting on my shelf.
My concrete letter didn’t turn out quite right, because I was impatient. I picked up the mold before the allotted drying time was up, because I wanted to see if the concrete was still wet. It was, and it cracked into 3 pieces. Oops. Supplies: hollow cardboard letter (available at your local craft store) box cutter breathing mask (or something to cover your nose so you don’t breath concrete dust) disposable gloves two plastic spoons two disposable plastic bowls a disposable cup concrete mix cement color water Lay the letter face down and cut out the top side to make the mold.
Next, mix the concrete wearing gloves and a breathing mask (do it outside so you don’t get concrete dust in your home). Once the concrete is mixed, work quickly to spoon one of the colors into the mold. Now, don’t pull on the cardboard to peek, don’t move it, and don’t even touch it! Une touche de noir.
