Is there such a thing as too much storage room? I think not! 😜
.
Almost done! #storageideas #diyproject

I need to add one more thing to this room! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
Reveal coming soon! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
Putting the last touches of my storage solution together. When I got rid of the old dining room furniture, I lost a place to store placemats, tablecloths and holiday stuff. #storagesolutions #DIYstorage⁠⁠

Sometimes, it's just a matter of knowing a trick or two...It's Tip Tuesday! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
Attaching a table top to a base so the wood won't warp when it expands and contracts is always necessary! But, if you use the clips I used, it actually makes attaching the table top the easiest part of this build! The clips allow the wood to expand and contract with the weather or humidity change. It's brilliant! There's a link in my tutorial to the clips I used or here (affiliate link https://amzn.to/3jc53wI) #tiptuesday #tooltuesday

Not sure which pic is really the eye candy here.... ⁠⁠
The lake at Sugar Maple Mountain Retreat is undoubtedly 😍 this time of year...but looking at the beginning of our driveway (Yes! we finally broke ground) Puts a huge 😁 on my face! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
I guess it's really real now, our tiny home vacation rental village is underway! #sugarmaplemountainretreat⁠⁠

Have a few 2 x 4s and a 1 x 6? Build this bench and the coat rack! Search Rustic bench on my website, H2OBungalow for the tutorial! #falldecor #DIYbench⁠⁠

Could you...would you? ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
As an avid reader, I had to think about this one before doing it. But...it's do darn cute! Tutorial on my website- H2OBungalow search “Pumpkin “ #DIYpumpkin #bookproject ⁠⁠

DIY dining table with just 4 tools? ✅ done! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
It's reveal day my friends...my new DIY dining table is live on my website, H2OBungalow.com. I'm all heart eyes over the new look! 👉 to see before! Best of all my table converts from 4 to 6 person seating without taking up a lot of space! Oh, yes you can! You can do this too, and for a lot less than buying a table. #DIYtable #tableandbench

Don’t you love happy endings?

Sponsored: I’m almost done with this huge freestanding pantry I’m building! I just broke out my new Wagner Flexio 3500 paint sprayer for a perfect paint finish. Sneak peek of my build project in my stories! The features on this new paint sprayer model are awesome! Loving the hard storage case, the two sprayers one for fine and one for bulk spraying, the plastic liners for the paint container are genius, just toss when done!
.
You’ve seen me work with HomeRight sprayers for 7+ years now. Did you know, Wagner and HomeRight are one and the same?

It was project creep in a good way! ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
When I painted the kitchen cabinets light blue to better fit in with the rest of our coastal home the dark furniture in the dining area looked way out of place. ⁠⁠
It was definitely time for an upgrade in this space! I've added all new furniture, new lighting, built new storage, this table and the bench. You can build a table so easily and for so much less than buying one! New tutorial on Friday! #diydiningtable #buildit⁠⁠

My head and heart are still back in VT! I know I should be starting my next big project here in FL...and I will in a few days.  In the meantime, I had to share a few more glorious photos of what a drive down a back country road looks like this time of year in Ludlow.
.
Oh! ...and my next project? I'm super excited to share this one!  It speaks to a home challenge many of us deal with.

This was an easy transformation with paint and adding wood trim 😍. It's now the perfect cozy entry. ⁠⁠
.⁠⁠
Love that trim? I do too! I share my resources, and tutorials for the DIY bench and coatrack on my website, search "mudroom" on my website H2OBungalow.com. ⁠⁠
⠀⁠⁠

Mind over matter…. Thought I’d share another fun fall project I did in VT. Hoping if I think about cooler weather I’ll feel the FL temps less. 🥵 Absolutely melting here while working on my last build for the dining room makeover. Find my birch bark pumpkin tutorial on my website, H2OBungalow search pumpkin
.
Are you enjoying fall weather yet? If yes, I’m a bit envious!

Square those edges! Plugging away on my dining room makeover. This is the last build project before I share the big transformation! Soon😁— Have I mentioned how excited I am? It only took me 9 1/2 years to move on from the “temporary” table that we made do with!
.
Oh! Note the lack of a fancy workshop? A little corner or shady spot is all you really need. It may not be optimal but this is pretty much where all my at home in FL builds happen. #outdoorworkshop #diyfurniture

I just used this tip on my new dining table- reveal soon I promise!! #tooltip #timesaver! ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Hands down, my biggest timesaver when building my vanity...was using plywood shims I cut to inset the 1/2" my plans called for on the front, back and sides. No measuring, no holding pieces by hand, just pop them under the parts and attach.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Do you make shims for your projects too? Hey! Link in bio or ☞ https://h2obungalow.com/designer-inspired-bathroom-vanity-plans/ for the plans to my new vanity! ⁠⠀
