IKEA Hack- Billy Bookcase as Pantry Storage

Hall bathroom before + remodel plans
I have mentioned this a time or two…but our house was pretty ugly when we first moved in. Out of the five houses we’ve lived in and remodeled, this one was the worst in my opinion鈥攂oth in terms of condition and looks. The fun thing, however, is we made a commitment to stay in this home…

How to DIY: The Two Most Important Skills You Need
Over the past six years, Scott and I have done hundreds of DIY projects spread out through five different homes. While I don’t think that’s the course for everyone to take, I do strongly believe that every homeowner should have a basic set of skills in their toolbox, so to speak.
