POV: You say you don’t want closet doors... but POV: You say you don’t want closet doors... but you’re secretly leaving the door open for a comeback. 🚪😉

Planning for the future matters—especially in DIY! 🙌
Designing a closet without considering potential doors might not seem like a big deal now... until you try to add them later and your drawers can’t open. 😬
Tragic.

Even if you’re skipping doors for now, always think ahead. Look at all your layout options so future-you doesn’t have regrets!

✨Have you ever designed something and later realized you forgot a key detail? Let’s swap stories below! 👇

Okay, so remember that free antique dresser I shar Okay, so remember that free antique dresser I shared forever ago? 👀

Yeah... it's still here. And I’m finally doing something about it. Just a little paint stripping action with the heat gun today—nothing fancy, but it’s a start! 🙌

Truth time: I don’t love stripping (who does?!), and I’m on the fence about sticking with the heat gun or trying a stripping agent instead. 

What do you think—have you had success with either? I’d love your input! 💡👇

More updates coming... eventually. 😂

Yes, YOU can build this! 🛠️✨ This adorable Yes, YOU can build this! 🛠️✨

This adorable DIY children’s desk is such a fun and easy project—I promise! 🙌 I originally built it for my daughter’s room makeover years ago, and we loved it so much I had to make one for my son too.

It especially came in handy during the remote learning days (thank you, COVID 😅), but honestly—it’s perfect for any bedroom, playroom, or homeschool setup. Plus, the little drawer is great for stashing pencils, papers, or secret treasures! 😉

If you’ve been thinking about building a desk for your kiddo, this is a great one to start with.

Would your kids love a desk like this? What color would you paint it? 🎨👇
