If you haven’t figured it out by now Matt and I LOVE to make over just about anything we can get our hands on! Over the past year we have been lucky enough to have created one of a kind custom pieces. Most of these pieces have been enhanced by the use of a vinyl […]
DIY Kitchen Pantry
When I last left you all we had to go back to the drawing board with our kitchen pantry design. I couldn’t bring myself to do another drawing, so Matt whipped us up a quick kitchen pantry in Adobe Illustrator. We got right to it and started building our kitchen pantry using our Kreg Jig […]
