Guy Martini walked into Rick's Cafe Fabuloso, handed his top hat to the coat check attendant, adjusted his monocle and rapped his mahogany cane twice on the polished marble floor, just as he had done every Saturday evening since moving to The City at the turn of the century. He strode across the stone…
DIY Cedar Planter
When Handan asked me to build two planters to put between the garage doors, I jumped on the idea. Finally, I could build something again! Look, don't get me wrong - mailbox makeovers, lamp post makeovers, pantry makeovers - yeah, they're all well and good, but Jeezum Crow, I wanted to make, not makeover!…

Rustic Wooden Keys {Inspired by Pottery Barn}
