"Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man" -Martin Heidegger

Ok ok, I'll admit, I have several obsessions. While the newest one may be blogging, there's more. For example...

About a week ago, my sister-in-law posted this great, hopelessly addicting website about how to build your own furniture, which is amazing. Every time Lance and I go to the store to buy furniture (he pretends to hate shopping, but he loves it) he doesn't want to buy anything because he says it's ridiculously overpriced. After looking at this website, I completely agree. Because if she can build furniture for $50 to $150 per piece, why can't I?


This first project looks ridiculously simple, but I'm blonde and not really coordinated. So it can't hurt to start small right? Really, really, really small.

Plus, doesn't it just look adorable?

















And then, if I feel up to the task, I'll make this for the living room, but jazz it up a little. And get rid of the stuffed animals.















Thoughts? Ideas? Colors?

  1. You are gonna rock the lumbar yard! I can't wait to see how your projects work out. You are welcome to borrow tools from us anytime you need them. I sure you'll be good enough at building very soon. Then I will commission a piece from you.
