Remodelaholic in Review: May 2014

May has been a busy month! Lots of projects, lots of beautiful almost-summer fun! If you want to get all the nitty gritty of our everyday life (we’re pretty awesome) make sure you follow me over on Instagram @remodelaholic.

And we’ll cut right to the chase this month — here’s the run-down of what we did here on Remodelaholic in May, just in case you missed anything. Thanks for reading and being part of the Remodelaholic community!

Why I Garden (and why you should, too!)

We love LOVE our garden, and we think that everyone should grow a garden, and #GroSomethingGreater. Because the fresh veggies are great, but the family time in our yard is so. much. better.

Easy Color-Stained Carved Wood Sign

My dad is a woodcarver, so wood carving has always held a special spot in my heart. See how you can make an easy carved wood sign with just one little (inexpensive!) Dremel tool — plus use a color washing technique to make it any color you want!
