DIY

For the past few weeks, we have been working on a project for the soon to be owner of our current farmhouse. They have twin girls that will be sharing a room upstairs where our daughter’s room currently is. The project was built in bunk beds for these sweet girls. Of course we are always up for a project and we knew this would be a fun one and one that would make the room super special. This room will be a place where many memories will be made while they bunk together for the next several years as they grow up.

Last year we decided to build a fire pit behind the house. We had originally planned on building a simple stone fire pit. After some discussion, we decided to build a modern one made of concrete. We thought it would be a nice contrast with the brick retaining wall along with the other elements we would add around the fire pit.

I built a crib mattress swing for my sister in law. We hung it on one end of her front porch. But since it is a very long porch, she needed something for the other side to balance things out. I had originally thought about building an identical swing, but decided to mix it up a bit and build two single swings. And since she has twin boys, the swings could be something that they would really enjoy.
