“Should I go to the Haven conference or not?” That’s the question I was mulling over in my head up until weeks before the conference. Haven is a DIY (do-it-yourself conference) held once a year that brings together creative home decor, home improvement, and craft bloggers that’s been organizing for 8 years now. Back in 2013, I attended Haven for… View Post
At the age of 40, I got this crazy idea to enroll in a carpentry certificate program at my local community college.

(Although I am definitely aware that this is an old TV cart from the 60’s and 70’s, I much prefer to think of it as a bar cart or, as I will use it, a tea cart!).

This post is brought to you by Wood, Naturally. All opinions belong to Thrift Diving. I’m embarrassed to admit that I used to paint over every single piece of wood to make it look more modern.
