DIY Range Hood Plans
Since we are all in quarantine, I figured I’d take advantage of the extra time and my wood scraps and tackle my range hood. I’ve been planning this project for years, in fact I’m pretty sure I included it in my 2019 woodworking plans. I don’t know why it didn’t end up happening, but it…
Black and Wood Dining Table Update

Extra Wide Barn Door Plans
I recently revealed my hall makeover, which included one of my projects to do this year–build a barn door to cover my closet entry.
