We are so happy with how this one came out! Cam knew I was wanting a wood DIY headboard, so designed and built this himself (of course adding some geekery for me, with the 8-bit Zelda hearts).
Labyrinth door knocker!
Check out this awesome DIY Labyrinth door knocker, posted on Craftster! It was made by the very talented CHughes (take a look at her Pinterest for tons of geek crafts that she has made).
This is definitely on our to-do list now, since we are in need of a door knocker. It is made from a wood block, polymer clay, aluminum foil, and paint.
Our DIY LEGO Minifigure Display Frame
We have A LOT of LEGO minifigures, and have been trying to come up with better ways to display some of them. We also had an unused IKEA Ung Drill frame. Long story short, Minifigures + Baroque style frame = this project.Continue Reading…
DIY Legend of Zelda 8-bit Fire in our Fireplace (total cost: $2!)
DIY Han Solo Cabinet Pulls / Drawer Knobs
Yep. We were looking for some unique cabinet and drawer knobs/pulls, but couldn’t find anything that really stood out. While getting some Han Solo [frozen in carbonite] ice cubes out of the freezer last weekend, we had an idea inspired by HomeMade Modern’s concrete Darth Vader vase.Continue Reading…

Death Star Vase DIY from HomeMade Modern
We just finished a backyard project that introduced us to Quikrete for the first time. After looking around for other DIY’s to use up the rest of the bag, I think we found the clear winner, using a Death Star ice mold.Continue Reading…
The easiest, cheapest built-in bookcase (move over IKEA!).
When we needed ways to display/store A LOT of stuff in our new home, we assessed our previous storage pieces – two medium IKEA Expedit shelving units and 2 IKEA Kilby bookcases. They were mismatched and pretty beat-up, but between them they could hold hundreds of Transformers, Star Trek figures, LEGO minifigures, graphic novels, books, and random other bits of geekery.
Despite our old shelves being functional enough, we wanted something more streamlined. After painting our new living room walls a light grey, we began work on a “built-in” bookcase. We’ve never done anything like this before, but it was surprisingly easy, cheap, and quick. The entire thing was assembled, attached to the wall, and painted (white to match the crown moulding, with a couple of yellow accent areas) within a few hours. Continue Reading…
Quick Before/After: Curbside Wooden Armchair
While we were walking our dogs recently, we saw a broken and filthy chair sitting next to a neighbor’s trashcan. We both slowed down and stared at it as we walked by, but neither of us said anything. I mean… it was pretty gross – covered in spiderwebs and dirt, broken seat, sun damage, probably some dog pee on the legs… The next day when we walked by again, we instinctively both beelined straight for the chair.
