In the world of home improvement, there is usually more than one way to get the job done. Sometimes when you're up against a tight budget or a short deadline, you need to be creative. If you don't have the exact tool for the project, you can often make do with a bit of ingenuity and a few items that you may already have on hand. In this blog, I'm making a side by side comparison of my home-made miter saw table and a Dewalt miter saw stand.

(CLICK) The material list for the homemade chop saw table is very short! Two 2X4's and one 2X6, some 2" and 3" screws (drywall screws are perfectly fine). If you don't have a workbench to put this table, you can use two sawhorses, or even just use it on the floor. Of course it's much easier to have it at waist height, especially if you have a lot of cuts

Are your kitchen cabinets tired old brown oak? Today I want to share a quick face lift tip I used in my own kitchen not long ago.  My family and I had just made settlement on a fixer upper, and it needed quite a bit of work just to move in. Surprisingly, the kitchen was the least of our worries. Though the cabinets were the old style oak from the 80’s (definitely dated!) they were sturdy, and in very good shape. We decided to keep them and just give them a face lift to get us by. Two reasons: I can’t stand taking out something that still functions perfectly or is well made. We needed time to work in the kitchen and get a feel for the flow of the space. When it comes time to do a full remodel, we’ll have a good idea of the best changes to make. What to do? We decided on a lighter color, but didn’t want a stark white cabinet. The antique look seemed to be a good choice for this kitchen, but I wasn’t sure how to create it.  At first.
