Struggling with a migraine this evening folks, so Struggling with a migraine this evening folks, so today is a great day to throw it back to a time I felt a hair better. Nothing like the natural high of finishing a piece and seeing it come to life! This was one of my favorite builds ever- and is used daily in my home! There is nothing more beautiful than Pecan, seriously amazing wood to work with! This build pushed me a lot at the time, and it’s one I’m ultra proud of! What do y’all think? And, anyone have a secret migraine remedy I haven’t thought of? I’ve tried it all! ***repost There are only a few projects I have ever gotten as excited about as I am for this one, projects for my kids mean the most! My sweet family goes through so much to support my love for making and building, from understanding certain trips and events, to supporting my need to spend a ridiculous amount of time in the shop and working both on social media and the website. These small projects are the most important, because it’s the things they will use everyday. My daughter said this morning that this was her new “office” and she “can’t wait for me to teach her to build things like this for her kids!”. Pardon me, my heart may burst! That’s what this is all about, the time, the energy and the sacrifice, it’s all worth it in moments like this! * * * Pecan top finished with @generalfinishes Enduro Clear Poly- the base is made from Poplar and finished with @generalfinishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. Extra bonus- thanks to @totaltoolssouthmelbourne for the epic shirt 👌🏻 * * #design #toolgirlsgarage #diy #build #builder #home #wood #woodworker #womanwoodworker #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #maker #makermom #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #makersrevolution #hgtv #designer #homeowner #farmhouse #modern #modernfarmhouse
Today sucked. Is it fair to say that? I ran into Today sucked. Is it fair to say that? I ran into one problem after another today and if I’m being honest I wish I would have quit while I’m ahead. Rare to hear from me, right? I’m always the go go go, find the silver lining, look on the bright side gal, and today just was a series of frustrations, one after another, none of which I could control or prevent. It’s life, nothing is irreparable, and legit I know tomorrow is a new day. I’ll spend the evening licking my wounds and resting for a fresh start, whose with me! ⁣ #makers #carpenter #diy #carpentry #handcrafted #custom #woodworkingforall #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkingskills #rockler #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglove #makersofinstagram #woodworkingshop #woodworking #woodworkingtool #makersgonnamake #routertable #maker #woodworkingproject #woodwork #finewoodworking #style #wood #woodworkingtools #handmade #woodworkersofig #makersofig #woodcraft #woodworker
“Teamwork makes the dream work”- I tell my kid “Teamwork makes the dream work”- I tell my kids that every single day and I truly believe it to my soul! Last month I got to build a doghouse with some awesome folks- and snuggle some puppies too! But really- teamwork is the name of the game, right? Not sure if y’all know this- but @builtby_n8 is awesome with a jigsaw, and @theawesomeorange is seriously the coolest! Met some new epic friends too, like @roo_houston @jh0uston @hotrodhippie @youngutah @thehandmadehome saw some old friends like @thebuildwithethan @graysonwooddesign @gingerwoodworks and @protoolreviews ! So many awesome folks! Huge thanks to @ringofireagency for hosting us at the @hardwarehuddle ! #greenville #doghouse #team #teamwork #build #buildit #teambuild #teambuilding #jigsaw #puppy #humane #makersofinstagram #makersofig #makerlife #makerfriends #charitybuild #funwithfriends
Sanding. Seriously, still sanding. Between these c Sanding. Seriously, still sanding. Between these counters and the drywall and trim, feels like it’s been a lifetime of sanding! Never forget to Water- Pop between grits y’all! I enjoyed it for a bit this week, I put on some tunes and just zone out, but I’ll be honest that I’m totally over it, even though I love this sander! 😂 anyone else feeling my pain this week?! #sanding #sander #counters #drywall #renovation #renovate #carpentry #finish #womenwoodworkersofig #womenwoodworkers #whiteoak #butcherblockcountertop #butcherblock #butlerspantry #pantrygoals #dreamhome #custombuilt #home #modernfarmhouse #farmhouse #hgtv #diy
Obsessed with these counters! To be honest, I’m Obsessed with these counters! To be honest, I’m glad I pulled my bicep after this because it would have made this part impossible! Truth to told, I spent a lot of years feeling like white oak was a bit overrated, felt like everyone was obsessed with it and I liked it, but wouldn’t have put it in my top ten favorites. I’ll admit, I was 100% wrong. It’s so darn beautiful raw, and the design of the space plays off of it so well! What do y’all think? Any unpopular opinions on woodworking things you have yourself? Judgement free zone, y’all. ⁣#whiteoak #butcherblock #counters #butcherblockcountertop #lift #strongwomen #home #homedesign #finewoodworking #makersmovement #woodworkingcommunity #womenwoodworkersofig #modernmakers #makerscommunity #popularwoodworking #indiemaker #contemporaryfurniture #handmade #homedecor #designerfurniture #woodfurniture #custommade #furnituremaker
Thank you! Seriously, there are no words to expres Thank you! Seriously, there are no words to express my gratitude. Sometimes so much is happening and I forget to slow down and smell the roses, and y’all are one of the best parts of pursuing these dreams I have! The community is amazing, and it’s humbling to be a part of y’all’s lives too! This year has been wild. I say that often, but I truly can’t put into words how crazy it’s been. Between life, traveling, filming, builds, shop construction, the new pantry, mom life, honestly I could keep going, but you get it…. You guys have been such a huge source of motivation and positive energy. I know 2021 is already half over, but it’s been a year so full of change, growth, excitement, and challenges that I feel like it’s been ten years rolled into 6 months. I have no idea what the second half of this year holds, but I know we have so much to be excited about here at Tool Girl’s Garage! A few goals for this year- More blog content Finish the shop!!! Tackle the hall bath, and the large master bathroom renovation! So many cool builds planned, so gotta make that happen!!! You Tube content!!!! (Part of the shop expansion is to add a filming area! ) Some exciting traveling adventures! Some amazing new brand collaborations! Finally get the online shop going- this was a huge part of bringing Lisa on, but it’s been so requested to offer some products for sale that I am excited to make that happen for y’all! #thankyou #dreams #2021 #shop #woodshop #texaswoodworkers #womenwoodworkers #womenwoodworkersofig #community #makercommunity #makersofinstagram #makersmovement #gratitude #thankyou #sunday #cheers
