The Barn Door project is finished, and once I can The Barn Door project is finished, and once I can get a hair caught up you’ll see the full step by step guide to how I assembled and designed this door! When I started playing around with the Bender Board to make the design, I knew I wanted to keep it simple with basic cuts that anyone could do, while still giving a ton of “wow” factor. I used my @harttoolsusa 10 -Inch Miter Saw to cut all of the pieces and glued and nailed them to the door. I am still in awe every time I open this door that it came together as well as it did! Are y’all fans of the design?! * * * As a #harttoolspartner I am able to share my thoughts on some of their latest tools! All opinions are my own, and a huge thank you to them for supporting this project!! * * * #doitwithhart #woodwork #barndoor #door #details #woodworkersofig #woodworkersofinstagram #makersofig #makersofinstagram #diy #diyordie #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #walnut #wood #woodshop #home #renovations #renovate #texaswoodworkers #womenwoodworkers #build #girlpower
Sooo much grout! Today was spent trying to finish Sooo much grout! Today was spent trying to finish up what I could to allow enough time for delivery tomorrow. I have some more work on the mosaic pieces but it’s coming together! I seriously can’t begin to explain how much I miss having a washer and dryer! Thankfully, we’re at the finish line! Hope y’all have had an awesome Wednesday!!! * * * * #skil #skilpowertools #cordless #12V #tile #tilework #laundryroom #toolgirlsgarage #tiling #toolsofthetrade #trades #floor #install #renovate #renovation #renovationproject #diy #dreamhome #home #decor #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #farmhousedesign #maker #makersofig #hgtv #design #customhome @ Texas
Another day that totally kicked my butt. I just wr Another day that totally kicked my butt. I just wrapped for the day, 13 solid hours working on this laundry room floor- and a lot of progress was made! I had hoped to finish all of the tile, but I ran out of thin set, so I’ll have to snag some more tomorrow and focus on grouting what’s dry. Also- these mosaics are tedious as all get out- but hopefully it was all worth it! I miss my shop! What are y’all up to this week? * * My #tooltuesday goes out to my @skilpowertools 12V Drill for powering through mixing the Thin Set without skipping a beat! I am a huge fan of @skilpowertools lineup of cordless tools, absolute beast! * * * #skil #skilpowertools #cordless #12V #tile #tilework #laundryroom #toolgirlsgarage #tiling #toolsofthetrade #trades #floor #install #renovate #renovation #renovationproject #diy #dreamhome #home #decor #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #farmhousedesign #maker #makersofig #hgtv #design #customhome
Today has been a doozy. You ever want to fall asle Today has been a doozy. You ever want to fall asleep on the job? That’s basically where I am at now. I am completely exhausted, but as they say the show must go on! Monday’s- they’re for the birds. * * If you follow my stories you’ve seen the drama unfold with our laundry room. Long and short- our washer died this weekend- new washer and dryer will be here late this week, so it’s a “well let’s get this done while it’s out of commission anyway” - situation. Today was spent scraping just under 80 st feet of vinyl and adhesive- which was repeatedly exposed to water making it extra sticky. What a mess! We discovered some mold and some other bad decisions the original orders made, but it’s all part of it. * * * #renovate #laundryroom #tile #vinyl #labor #scraping #toolsofthetrade #shop #renovationproject #renovations #maker #makersofig #construction #fixerupper #diy #hgtv #design #makeover #laundryroommakeover #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #farmhousedesign #design #designinspiration
Y’all- I finally bought a Drum Sander! I added t Y’all- I finally bought a Drum Sander! I added the @supermaxtools 16-32 Drum Sander to the shop this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited! I was able to purchase this during my local @rockler_woodworking stores Floor Model Sale- this crew has always been the very best! I’ve wanted to add a drum sander for a long time, so I’m over the moon! Next major shop tool will be a larger bandsaw- but what are some tools y’all dream of adding to your shops?! * * * @lagunatools #shop #rockler #lagunatools #supermax #drumsander #tools #shoptools #woodshop #woodworkersofig #woodworkersofinstagram #maker #makersofig #makersofinstagram #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingtools #woodworkingcommunity #womenwoodworkers
Happy 4th y’all! Mosaics are quickly becoming on Happy 4th y’all! Mosaics are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to make! Although tedious, they can add so much life to a room! I teamed up with Varathane to work with their Wood Accelerators- a line of water based wood treatments designed to mimic speciality effects like Shou Sugi Ban, Barn Wood and Aged Wood without the complex processes! I combined all three, the Charred Wood, Weathered wood and Rustic Wood to create this gorgeous neutral toned palette on these pieces! Have y’all used the Varathane Wood Accelerators yet? * * I used Rift Sawn White Oak for this project, and sealed it with Watco Satin Spray Lacquer, a standout product that was a breeze to apply! I’m usually not a fan of spray finishes, but this one definitely made me change my way of thinking! It was quick and easy to apply and made this piece pop even more! #varathanepartner #swatch #varathanefinishes #mosaic #wallart #maker #woodworker #shop #stain #finish #finishing #woodfinish #barnwood #sawdustsaturday #toolsofthetrade #art #woodart #shousugiban #aged #woodworkersofig #woodworkersofig #makersofig #makersofinstagram #femalewoodworker #womancarpenter #varathaneit
