We like to make stuff together.
It’s been a little longer than usual between our #ToolTuesday posts, thanks to all the COVID-19/Coronavirus/quarantine craziness. But we were SO stoked to pick up a couple of new toys […]
Years ago when I first created the writing room of my dreams (aka home office), I came up with the crazy idea to make a giant typewriter keyboard on one […]
It’s time again for another #ToolTuesday, and this time, it’s my (JZ’s) pick. I was warned by a fellow woodworker that after I had my first experience with a router, […]
Gift giving is hard, y’all. And sometimes, the person we love and want to celebrate wants or needs one of the most uncreative presents: money. My parents never blinked an […]
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m just a messy DIYer. I do my best to protect my home (and my clothes, skin, hair and more) from whatever my […]
The best adage I’ve ever heard about clamps is that you always need one more than you actually have. How this mysterious situation plays out over and over again in […]
Have you ever wondered how to frame a canvas painting? We faced that very question when we bought a beautiful piece of canvas art from Jamaica. After googling for ideas […]
If you’re anything like us, your rose garden might just be becoming your pride and joy—until you start playing the game of “um…which one are you again?” Are you “White O’Hara”’ or “Francis Meilland”? And where did we put “Vuvuzela”? 😅
Time to eliminate the mystery with a set of DIY laser-cut plant markers that are as pretty as your plants. With just a few simple materials and a laser, you can create custom labels for each variety—so your garden looks and feels organized.
This project is quick and easy, so let’s get crafting and give your plants the name tags they deserve!
The holidays are upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a mix of vintage charm and DIY creativity? Whether you’re decking the halls or shopping for that […]
Now that we’re a week past Thanksgiving and ~three weeks until Christmas, we figured it was time to post our pumpkin carving video here on the blog…ha! To our credit, this did actually post on our YouTube channel on Halloween. We just missed getting it posted over here. We blamed too much holiday fun. 😉
In any case, we had a TON of fun making this video. We haven’t laughed this much working on a project in a loooooong time (and that’s saying something!). But truly – what else could the result be when you try to carve pumpkins with a pressure washer?!?
We hope you have as much fun watching this one as we had making it. Happy Fall and all the things you celebrate this season!
Cheers,
JZ and Daniel
Hey there, friends! It’s hard to believe Fall is already here – this year has flown by! While we spend as much outside as possible in the Summer, cooler temps mean more time with friends and family around the table…making it the perfect time to indulge in the art of tablescaping!
Annnnnnnnd since I recently discovered the absolutely magical world of milk glass, I’d love to share why this vintage staple is a fantastic choice for designing tablescapes, especially as we embrace the cozy vibes of fall. While many often think of milk glass as classic white, it actually comes in an array of colors, from soft pastels to rich jewel tones and even black, making it a versatile addition to any seasonal setting.
I have now dressed up several tables end to end with milk glass filled with flowers–and it doesn’t matter which combo I used–the milk glass truly shined in every setting, effortlessly elevating the décor.
Check out the blog to see a few of my favorites, along with (affiliate) links of where you can find these amazing vintage pieces on Etsy!
Hey, hey friends! We’re excited to bring you today’s project, as this is one wedding DIY that checks ALL the boxes. It’s easy, affordable AND quick.
Introducing one of our favorite projects from our wedding DIY extravaganza: gold leaf candle holders made from thrifted glass.
That’s right, we scoured Goodwill (and grabbed a few globes from the Dollar Tree) and made these STUNNING candle holders that added just the right amount of gold to our tablescapes at our wedding.
And the process couldn’t have been easier. Watch the video tutorial below to see how we did a ton of these candle holders in just about an hour. As a bonus, these are so stunning and versatile that we’re still using these today in various places around the house.🙂
Hey flower-loving friends! 🌸 Today, we’re sharing a DIY project that’s as beautiful as it is functional: a flower press with a twist! Using sublimation acrylic from Johnson Plastics Plus and adding a touch of 3D flair, we’re about to show you how to create a flower press that’s truly a work of art.
But here’s the best part – it doesn’t matter whether you’re a crafting veteran OR just starting out. Either way, this project is for you. We offer techniques with high tech tools like a Glowforge laser cutter and clever workarounds with that require just a simple drill. So grab a few supplies (we provide a full list in the blog post!) and favorite flowers and let’s dive into this blooming adventure together!
Hello! We’re excited to share our first DIY flowering arranging tutorial. After a year of JZ watching flower arranging tutorials getting ready for the wedding, she’s putting that plethora of knowledge into practice around our home, having fun with techniques, floral mechanics and more now that the stakes are much, much lower.
For this tutorial, we show you how to create a whimsical, garden style centerpiece using a long rectangle acrylic vase from Amazon.
We’re sharing all the secrets on how to achieve that dreamy garden vibe that is *in* right now–and it all starts with pin frogs. These amazing little floral mechanics are your ticket to creating an enchanting floral masterpiece, and the good news is that you don’t have to use a ton of flowers to make it happen. Find out more on our blog!
Get excited, beach lovers: Today, we’re diving into the world of DIY starfish boutonnieres!
Of the 30+ projects we made for our wedding, this one SO many compliments. And we *almost* didn’t make these because real starfish can be delicate.

So check out today’s post, which includes a list of the materials you need, as well as a step-by-step video showing you exactly how we made our starfish boutonnieres.
Happy crafting!
