5 Must Have Tools for DIY Furniture Building

5 Must Have Tools for DIY Furniture Building

Two posts in one week.  Things are getting crazy around here. I think I have three for next week.  Whoa.  I should probably pace myself.

Today I'd like to share with you our top 5 favorite tools for DIY furniture building.  I mentioned on Monday that we'll soon be building a coffee table.  (By the way, thanks for your input on this.  We're still deciding but you all gave us lots to think about!)  This coffee table will join some of our other DIY furniture like our farmhouse dining table and card catalog.  (Check out all of our furniture builds here!)

Coffee Table Opinions Needed

Coffee Table Opinions Needed

Oh, Monday. So soon?  And maybe with snow? That's harsh.

How was the weekend?  Ours was mostly good.  It was the first weekend in a couple months that Nate didn't have to work on Sunday.  That was awesome.  But we did have a bird trying to break into our house.  It kept slamming itself into our patio doors and living room window. I don't know how the stupid thing didn't kill itself.  I should note that I have a bird phobia. Birds can not be trusted with their pointy beaks and beady eyes. I texted Nate on Saturday telling him I was going to call the cops. He followed with a text of how he had to go buy deodorant because he forgot to wear some that morning.  He clearly was concerned about my safety (rude) and tax season is rotting his brain.

We did do some discussing of our plans for the next few months.  It sounds like Decor and Dog won't be lame once tax season is over. Woo hoo!  Ike is pumped.  He misses the blog.

Yard Update

Yard Update

I'm not sure if it's the extra hour of day light or the fantastic weather we are having this week but I've been one productive human being.  None of it really blog worthy but I definitely feel like I accomplished something!

Today I thought I'd share a quick yard update.  A yard update?  Sounds boring.  But there is a dramatic Michelle story involved so hang in there.  It is, however, long.

It's starting to look like Spring outside.  And our yard no longer looks like a zombie apocalypse.
