With purchase of a new grown up sofa for Steph came the need for a little side table. A Google and Pinterest search ensued until she realized she had already seen the perfect C-table sliding sofa table. The side table her friend, Daniel, had made would be the perfect choice.

It became obvious to me that I'd been planning to add address numbers to my house when I found the perfect numbers tucked away in a drawer! I had completely forgotten about them. Would I embarrass myself if I said I'd had them since my home remodel in 2012?? 

I'll just make myself feel better by saying I never found the right project up until now! We partnered with Surebonder, a family owned and operated manufacturer of hot melt products since 1968, to come up with the perfect modern house number sign for my house.

We used simple materials that required only easy cuts and the entire thing is constructed with Surebonder's 3-Minute Construction Hot Glue. Did you know such a thing existed? Take a look at how it all came together.

As part of The Home Depot ProSpective Tool Campaign, we got a chance to try out the new Milwaukee M18 Quik-Lok Outdoor Tool System. Milwaukee is fairly new to the outdoor tool market, but as newbies in the field, they've come out strong with this latest offering!

The system utilizes a power head that can be used with four different outdoor tools and extension pole. The power head is sold with the string trimmer, which according to our small sampling of readers on Facebook, is the most popular garden tool! The edger, pole saw, and hedger trimmer as well as the extension pole are all sold separately. We tried them out on an episode of Workshop Wednesday which you can see here.

We got a chance to try out the tools, but were perplexed as to how we were going to store them. Steph came up with a really simple way to store another brand of outdoor tools and adapted the idea for the Milwaukee system. That girl is really smart!

This is one of those projects that was going to be a single thing, but then evolved to even more! After installing the new Wall Control purple pegboard in Steph's garage and loving the new look, we were looking for more ways to use it. 

Steph's office/studio was a hodgepodge of makeshift storage for all her photography and video equipment. Making videos takes a surprising amount of tripods, lights, cameras, and other kinds of equipment. We thought a wall of metal pegboard with a variety of hooks and shelving would the perfect solution for organizing and storing all of her equipment, as well as a printer and printer paper. 

Well, as we were planning the install, we thought, "hey while we're reorganizing the space, let's make plans for adding a guest component to the room" and that's what we did!

...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!)
