...and the new color is...purple!
In our visit to Wall Control last fall, we were told that work was underway to bring two new colors to the Wall Control line up. Earlier this month, we got word that the new new colors were in production and a sample would be coming our way! Since purple pegs are not available yet, they sent along some color peg possibilities. It was a no brainer for us to choose the blue! Follow along as we share our install of one of the two new colors. (P.S., pink is also available now!)

Steph has had Mac, the greyhound, about two months. In that period of time, she has acquired a lot of dog gear necessitating a need for additional storage. She came up with an idea of twin wall mounted storage spaces for both she and Mac!
We were recently contacted by the Florida family owned company, Stencil Revolution, to try out some of their stencils. When this idea came about, we knew it was the perfect opportunity to try a a couple of fun stencils. We continued the family owned company theme, by also utilizing Surebonder, the family owned hot glue gun and adhesive company, as well Georgia family owned company, Wall Control. Read on to see how our "we are family" project came together.

The inspiration for this project was a decorative fence we saw at Walt Disney World's Epcot as well as the upholstery print in a booth at a Culver's restaurant! Inspiration is everywhere!
Steph has been wanting to replace her garbage can privacy screen and this idea seemed like a perfect fit!
After living in her house five years, Steph finally decided it was time to think about some kind of covering for the window in her bathroom. You can't see into it due to the high placement, but she could not control the amount of light it let in.
One of the projects we did in the garage makeover was to order a shade for the window. We were pleased with that ordering and install so we decided to order again from The Home Depot.

In the bloopers at the end of this video, you hear me say "super simple!" That was in response to what we learned about installing this Ring Stick Up Cam! I think we have installed all version of Ring cameras now, and this one was as quick and simple as the others.

The humble supplies below came together into one of our favorite projects ever! When we spotted those flame light bulbs- we just knew we had to do something with them. At the time of purchase, we had no idea what to do with them, we just knew we had to use them!
With a little bit of engineering, styrofoam, melamine, toy bricks, and Quikrete mortar mix, we were able to cast the perfect faux fireplace! Take a look at how it came together.

Not all dogs need to have an elevated food/water bowl, but it is recommended for greyhounds. As soon as Steph knew she was going to adopt Mac, we started looking at options for purchasing elevated feeders, as well as options of DIYing one.
As it turned out, we decided to DIY one using an old table Steph has had since college. Ironically, she had given it to me to see if I could use it just a few days prior. After we knew Mac was coming home, I happened to spot the table. It was the right height and thought it would be a perfect DIY project!
This Fast DIY is just in time for holiday decorating outside. My standard means of decorating with outdoor lights ended up not being usable this year. I thought, "what do I have in the garage that would work?" Ahhh, wood stakes, a handful of wood craft stars, paint, a Surebonder Light Tacker and hot glue gun would do the job!
If you've not put out your outdoor lights, try out this last minute outdoor decorating idea.

It's rare, but sometimes a project idea comes together just as the idea was imagined. This little mini ladder "tree" was that kind of project!
I find a lot of inspiration from the products and materials we use. When tasked with the question, "How can I use this," the ideas just seem to flow. That was the case when we were contacted by Surebonder to try out their hot glue gun and adhesive products for this post. Actually, what really intrigued me while going through their catalogue of products on their website, were the various adhesives they offer. I, perhaps like many of you, thought glue sticks were kind of like "one size fits all." Well, when I discovered the Wood Stik product, it got me to thinking about making a woodworking project with nothing but glue, rather than nails and screws. One thing led to another and we decided to make a "nail free" mini version of our ladder, alternative Christmas tree. If you've ever wanted to take a step into working with wood, this is the perfect beginner project. Take a look at how our mini tree came together! You can also check out our project on the Surebonder blog here.

With a few readily available materials, we are going to show you how to give your phone a 'hand!' Ha, couldn't resist the pun! We are making a 'hand' stand for your phone. With this stand, your phone is always, 'handy!' (Promise, that's the last one!)
Take a look at the video or read on for the tutorial.

As part of The Home Depot ProSpective campaign this quarter, we received an eight piece DeWalt combo kit. We were impressed with the kit and felt we needed to share a closer look at the tools.
As this combo offers basic tools, it would be a great gift for someone wanting to start their tool collection or add to or upgrade what they already have to battery powered. Along with the eight tools, you get the rolling ToughSystem box, accessories like a circular saw blade and angle grinder blade, a battery charger and three batteries. Everything you need to get started! In this episode of Workshop Wednesday, we shared an unboxing of Surebonder hot glue gun products (we'll be doing a sponsored post with them very soon), we introduced, Mac, Steph's new greyhound, and presented a really fast DIY project that is just in time for holiday decorating.
