  DIY Wine Bottle Pallet Board

  Posted on April 16, 2013 by Maggie in DIY Projects, Maggie's Country Home

  DIY Wide Plank Butcher Block Counter Tops

  Posted on February 9, 2013 by Maggie in DIY Projects, Maggie's Country Home

  And on a budget! We spent around $500.00 on our counters and compared to spending $4000.00 at Home Depot or Lowe’s I’d say that’s a steal!

  Breakfast Bar Project

  Posted on December 16, 2012 by Maggie in Maggie's Country Home

  There is a wall in our kitchen that just seemed to block any light from coming into our kitchen! The room is quite dark as it is being on the back side of the house so we figured why not just cut a huge hole in the wall and let some of that sunlight from [...]

  2 1/2 years into owning this home and the kitchen is 100% done! It’s about time! Moving into this home we thought we were just going to keep the old cabinets and just paint them. Well! We then found out that there was no getting rid of that old smell inside of them. Even 3 [...]

  Built-In Book Shelf

  Posted on August 30, 2012 by Maggie in Maggie's Country Home

  Built-ins are great storage, they don’t take up any floor space! We added some doors on the bottom for hidden storage which we actually made out of an old pallet and then primed and painted white. The actual shelves are made from scrap wood we found in our old home or that was left over [...]
