Grill or Kitchen Cart with Galvanized Top

June 24, 2016 · 1 Comment

Galvanized Top Grill Cart | inbetweenchaos.com

Since moving into our new house, our little grill has been relegated to a tiny concrete pad outside our laundry room door… it was so inconvenient.  And so we hardly ever grilled.  We long planned to put in a patio off our screened porch, and we’ve finally gotten it done!  Now, I’m not a crazy…

I seem to have issues bypassing the scrapbook paper section in the craft store.  There are so many I like, but I have nothing to do with them.  So, I came up with a way to use them in my kids rooms.  This is an easy project that kiddos can help you with.  It can…

My sister Hallie over at birdieandevie.com is not only a very important mama in my life but also an awesome cook.  When she suggested a little mother’s day lunch, I struggled figuring out how I was supposed to contribute.  So I found a perfect little centerpiece project: these adorable paint stick basket plans at Build-Basic. (BTW – love the plans…

Modular Play Kitchen

DIY Play Kitchen | inbetweenchaos.com

We used to have one of those plastic play kitchens.  It worked well enough when we had just one child playing with it, but add in two more, and there were way too many cooks in the kitchen!  Well, at least that’s how I rationalized needing to make them a new kitchen.  I checked out…

Go Anywhere Accent Table

April 13, 2016 · Leave a Comment

While selling our first investment property, we realized we needed to stage it, and so we had to get everything planned, purchased and set up in 5 days before an open house.  I needed furniture for the master bedroom, so one day I  made 2 side tables and a console table, mostly from my scrap…

Reclaimed Shiplap Antiqued Mirror

March 27, 2016 · Leave a Comment

For some reason, I’ve always loved Amish schoolhouses.  Between their simple architecture, the front porch, the ship-lap, and board and batten, I always want to stop and take a picture.  I happened to drive by the one around the corner when they were replacing the siding, so I couldn’t help but ask if I could take…

DIY Barn Doors with Budget Friendly Hardware

March 24, 2016 · 6 Comments

  Years ago I saw a sliding barn door in a magazine, and I instantly knew I wanted one somewhere in my house.  They, of course, remind me of life on the farm, and they also help when you are short of swing space, like we are in our office and pantry. After seeing the price…

Vintage Signs using Iron-on Transfers

Vintage Sign with Iron on Transfers | inbetweenchaos.com

One of the reasons I love to DIY is I can bring personal, sentimental elements into my home.  I’m sure that motivates many DIYers.  This particular project really hit home for me, because not only are the words reminiscent of my childhood, but the wood itself came from the house where I grew up.  It…

How to Create Oversized Templates in Excel

March 16, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Large Template in Excel | inbetweenchaos.com

It would be awesome to be able to freehand my script or sign graphics, but I certainly was not blessed with any drawing abilities whatsoever! And my printer only prints pages up to 8 1/2 ” wide.  Thankfully, I can just cheat with Excel.  This tutorial also helps lay out a larger sign and determine…
