Ana White

Ok, so I don't typically like to read blogs by people who call themselves "homemakers," but when I came across Ana-White I couldn't get enough. Even Joe took a break from his studying to come check it out. This site contains step-by-step instructions (including shopping lists and estimated costs) on how to create all sorts of awesome furniture. Now, I am definitely a skeptic when it comes to home-made handy-crafts, but all of the stuff on this site looks pretty legit. The best part of the entire blog though is comparing the estimated cost of the project vs. the cost of the same item purchased in a store like pottery barn or west elm, because DANG that stuff is expensive.

 Joe and I are going to attempt to build this:

I will post pictures if we ever when we get around to making all of these things. In the mean time, I'll leave you with this:

Sweet Dreams!
