Build your own

Thanks to Jaime from That’s My Letter and Ana White, you can build your own entry console with tons of hidden storage. I couldn’t agree with Jaime more when she says, “This console has it all: drawers, open shelving, baskets and bins… Personally I want concealed storage that’s easily accessible for my 3 kids but still neat looking and segregated so each child has their own designated basket and bin.” Jaime spent less than 1/4 of retail price (not including shipping charges!) and was able to modify the dimensions to not waste an inch of space and finish in her choice of color. Booya!

Shayna of The Wood Grain Cottage loved the idea of adding storage to her kitchen with stackable crates but found their $100+ price tag a little “extreme.” Instead, she says, “I grabbed up my handsome hubby and headed to the garage to start building.” I love how these crate utilize vertical space instead of taking up treasured counter space!

If you are looking for a “… distinctive, one-of-a-kind wood table with loads of artisan style and a small price tag,” you’ve got to check …

Like any of us, Annisa from A Pretty Happy Home just can’t bring herself to fork over the big bucks for furniture when she knows …

Lindsay from Makely School for Girls knew just the dresser she wanted for her daughter’s bedroom – mid-century modern style with clean lines and cool legs. The great news? She found EXACTLY what she had been envisioning at Crate & Barrel. The bad news? It was $1,600. Fortunately, there’s more great news! Lindsay’s friend Rayan from The Design Confidential drew up plans for the dresser, Lindsay’s hubs built the bad boy, and Lindsay finished it with extra high gloss white paint and stain. Talk about team work and a beeeautiful dresser!
