I dress it up with fun DIY magnets! . . . Tutorials for three types of magnets + the board itself are over on the blog! HeathersHandmadeLife.com . . . #handmade #homeoffice #DIY #crafts #organization @shopbando This is how I’d look right now if I were wearing my TV hair and makeup instead of grey PJs and no makeup and tangled hair and a half-hearted “Ugh, don’t kill me, March Break” smile 😂 . . . #monday #marchbreak #ughh #freelancelife #workfromhome #workinpjs Your daily reminder: Good manners and kindness are always in fashion. . . . #handlettering #handmade #diycrafts #girlsbedroom #darlinghome #girlydecor #ecmmedia #craftlife Ooh I’d like to be curled up on the couch right now, enjoying the March sunbeams. ☀️ . . . Still blows me away how popular this table is over on Pinterest, considering I built it entirely from scrap wood — most of it previously used and painted! . . . Tutorial is over on the blog if you search “sofa table.” . . . #handmade #DIY #woodworking #livingroom #cozy #modernfarmhouse #handmadefurniture #ecmmedia Today on the blog I shared my amazing new DIY magnetic board for my home office.
