Hello and happy Friday, everyone! I’m so excited to share my latest project with you! I got to work with the inimitable Ana White on this perfect end table. Ana pinned this simple end table to her “Make Me” Pinterest board and when I saw it, I fell in love. She quickly drew up the…

Brainstorming A Bar Cabinet – Part 2
In case you missed it, part 1 of the Bar Cabinet Brainstorm is here. So, after mulling it over for a few days, I’ve finally come up with my inspiration piece for the Hubs’ bar cabinet! It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this Printmaker’s Sideboard from Restoration Hardware: Pick your…
Brainstorming A Bar Cabinet – Part 1
