NO more wet towels getting musty! ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Sometimes, it's the simple solutions that make the biggest impact.

Decisions...decisions...should I paint them all at once or I small groups? Should I pull out the large, medium or small paint shelter? ⁠ .⁠ It's #tooltiptuesday! Have you seen how easy the large HomeRight large spray shelter is to set up? You can do it in about 6 minutes. It would take waaay longer than 6 minutes to clean up the paint and overspray after painting with a paint sprayer! 🔗in bio to the spray shelters! ⁠ .⁠ It feels great to be back (partially) and working on my first DIY project in a long time! Yes! There's painting involved and lots of pieces too. Have I got you guessing what I'm working on? ⁠I can’t wait to share it in the next week or so! .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #tooltips #tt #toolsofthetrade #timesaver #painting #painted #diyideas #paints #powertools #girlswithpowertools #diyhomedecor#furnituremakeover #painted #painttime #diyhomedecor #diyideas #diyproject #diydecor #furnishings #redo #redobsession #restyle #remake #furnishing #homedecorating #repurposed #homedetails #budgetdecor #h2obungalow⁠ ⁠

Happy Sunday friends! Taking a long walk on the beach has been the highlight of our weekend! Who am I kidding? It's the highlight of the last several weeks! I snapped a few fun pics ☞ There's a photo bomber in one of them. If you can't see him, check out my stories! ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ I'd be lying if I didn't admit that rediscovering simple has it's merits. Taking a long walk on the beach, reading a book in the shade outside, catching up with old friends on video, calling my kids and grands just to say hi. It's a huge contrast to what used to be the normal of go-go-go all the time. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Are you discovering this too? ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #beach #beachwalk #sundayfun #fresh_air #sandcastles #sandsculpture #neweek #newweek #newweekahead #recharged #takeawalk #vacationmode #creativespirit #creative #flblogger #diyblogger #beach_life #beach_lovers #coastal #madeirabeach #cocoabeachpier #coastalliving #coastal #gulfcoast #floridalife #florida #coastalgal #h2obungalow⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

You can't paint that! The floor is awful, see those spaces? It will look terrible!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ So I was told. But I did it anyway. These are original floors from 1835 and I couldn't just cover them up.

It's #tooltiptuesday! ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Some projects bring extra challenges, like this one. Last week I shared the jig that makes adding handles to cabinets and drawers a breeze. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ But, how do you attach hardware on an uneven surface where a jig won't work? ⁠⠀ #1. Use painters tape to mark the hole placement.⁠⠀ #2 Attach the tape to your surface and drill at the marks.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Easy Peasy and done! ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ . ⁠⠀ #tooltuesday #tooltips #timesaver #woodwork #workspaces #cabinets #hardware #cabinet #woodworkerlife #womenwhoinspire #woodworkingfun #woodworkingskills #girlswithtools #woodworkingforall #girlswithpowertools #buildlikeagirl #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkingproject #woodworkingtools #powertools #dowoodworking #woodcraft #buildit #dowoodworking #tool ⁠ #woodworker #h2obungalow
