I built something!

We have a small house and that's my excuse for it being cluttered, or at least feeling cluttered all the time. However, if we had a big house, it may not be any different. I don't know. At least I might have more storage space??? Who knows. Anyway, as I was browsing around here, I came across this cute little storage idea for mail. It seemed pretty easy and cheap (that's the ticket), so I figured I'd give it a go. While Justin was asleep today, my nice neighbor came over and showed me how to use our table saw. I've secretly been wanting to learn how to use it. Oh, and I should mention that if Justin had been awake, he would have showed me, it just so happened that my neighbor offered before I had the chance to ask him. It was so much fun learning something new! And hopefully this will clear up some counter space where lots of paper seems to pile up.

I am also the proud new owner of a sander!!! I can't wait to use it to refinish this head board I found for FREE at our church's give-a-way a couple weeks ago. Stay tuned....

You have a good size house. And a great size backyard and front yard. I think you guys did really well when picking out your house. I love the thing you made for the mail. We have a mail basket as well and I just shove all the misc. papers and mail in there and on Saturdays, I clean it out. It saves a lot of clutter. I love the headboard! That is a great find and it will look beautiful!
