I am so excited about this project! My friend asked me if I could build her a bookcase, that looked like a dollhouse, for her friends new baby. She wanted her to have a book shelf for nursery books but something that the new baby could grow and play with. I've never built a doll house but I have built some bookcases in my day. This sounded like a fun challenge, so I got busy designing. I was able to build this 5' dollhouse bookcase with only five 1x12 boards and a few basic tools.

Peace, Love & Shanty!DIY Custom Barn DoorShanty2Chic2021-09-18 | I am so excited about today's project! This DIY Custom Barn Door has been on my list of to-do's since I moved in. I always thought it would look beautiful in place of my laundry room door and I've also wanted it for function. My laundry room is long and narrow so I've utilized the side wall for hanging bags and backpacks. When there are bags hanging on the wall it won't allow the laundry room door to open all the way so my plan has always been to replace it with a Barn Door. I finally got the itch to build it and I couldn't be happier! I wish I did it years ago! As always we have the how-to video and the free printable plans for you to build your own!

Guys!!! I am SO happy I took the plunge with this next project I am sharing with you today. For years I have wanted to renovate my master bathroom. Unfortunately, we don't have the money to rip out perfectly good countertop and tile (as much as I would love to 🤪 ) so I basically gave up on having a new space for the time being. I felt locked in because of the tones and style, so I put it on the back burner and gave up on the idea. Fast forward to a couple months ago. My girls were begging me to paint their bathroom cabinets. They only have on double vanity, so I finally caved and agreed to do it for them. I went to Lowe's to purchase the same paint I used years ago in my laundry room. It has been discontinued since, but the nice man at Lowe's pointed me to a new paint by Valspar I had never heard of. He told me all about it, and I thought it was probably too good to be true. I didn't want to go anywhere else though, so I took his word for it and gave it a shot. I have painted cabinets several times, and to date this is THE BEST cabinet paint I have ever used. And guess what people... NO PRIMING! After seeing the transformation I was able to achieve in my girls' bathroom, I decided to give it a shot on my bathroom. Now, this was a much larger project than my girls. We have separate vanities and 16' ceilings in there. So, the entire project did take a few days but I am SO happy with the results!DIY Lounge ChairShanty2Chic2021-06-05 | I am so excited for summer! This has been quite the school year and this mom is ready for some fun and sun! I got an itch to build a new set of lounge chairs. My cushions had seen better days and rather than finding another set to fit the old chairs, I decided to find cushions that I love and design and build a new set of chairs to fit them! With lumber prices rising, I did my best to keep the cost down on this set. I was able to build this new set for about $125 each! This set of plans is for one chair so if you plan to buid two, make sure to double the shopping list!

We sure are! So, I have spent the last few weeks focusing on projects that can eat up my scrap pile or only take a board or 2.

I was able to build these shelves for $15 a piece, and I love the way they turned out!
