We’ve been considering adding window boxes to our house for a while. But before I built a bunch of them, I decided to build one first and place it on one of the windows near our pool area. That way, we could see how it looks and decide if we want to add them to the front of the house. I documented the process so I could show you how to build your own window box.
In our latest renovation project, we gave a dated fireplace a complete makeover. This included overgrouting the brick, building a custom DIY fireplace surround, and painting it all white. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you exactly how I built the Fireplace Surround.
We decided to install picture frame moulding on a couple of walls in our home office. This is something we had originally planned on doing during our build, but we had to put it off due to time constraints. But now we finally had time to take on this project and give our home office a bit of an upgrade. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you exactly how I did it!
When we designed the kitchen in our latest renovation project, one of the must haves was a custom white oak refrigerator cabinet. This included a built-in refrigerator covered in custom white oak door panels. At first, I was a little intimidated by this project. But once I designed it and broke it down into sections, I feel much better about it. And once it was finished, I felt really good about it because it turned out better than we imagined.
We’ve always been big fans of vaulted ceiling beams, especially in a kitchen. This is why we installed them in our kitchen and in the flip house. There are several different approaches you can take when doing vaulted ceiling beams, from the design to the type of beams you use. For both of these kitchens, we decided to do wood box beams. They make installation much easier since they are so much lighter than solid wood beams. The ones in our kitchen we built on-site, while the ones in the flip house were premade.
