I built this DIY Arch Fireplace from FREE WOOD scr I built this DIY Arch Fireplace from FREE WOOD scraps from FB Marketplace and previous projects!! ♻️🙌

It was definitely a learning process. The “hardest” part was connecting and joining so many pieces of wood to get the right height, etc. but I would do it all over again in a heart beat! 

The only things I needed to buy for this DIY Arch Fireplace were:

🌼 Joint Compound 
🌼 White Paint (@sherwinwilliams alabaster)
🌼 Pre-stain Wood Conditioner
🌼 Wood Sealer 

All of this was approximately $50!

To see all the details, go to my “🔥Fireplace” highlights!

I spilled my coffee on wood and I LIKED IT!! Did I spilled my coffee on wood and I LIKED IT!!

Did you know you could stain your wood with coffee?!

For my DIY Fireplace Mantel, I used stale coffee beans to stain my wood.

☕️🫘
Got any stale coffee beans? 
Or coffee you didn’t like?

♻️ Don’t waste it! 
Stain your wood projects with it!

TIPS:
☀️I recommend sanding and then adding a coat of pre-staining wood conditioner. 
☀️I let my coffee sit for a couple of hours till cool.
☀️Wait 2 hours in between coats. The color does lighten.
☀️Once you get your desired color, seal it!

Would you try this no waste homemade wood stain?!

No tools for this fluted flip! I just used scissor No tools for this fluted flip!
I just used scissors and glue!!

Wait…HOW?!
FOAM HALF ROUND DOWELS from @michaelsstore

You can easily cut these with scissors and “install” them with strong glue like @thegorillagluecompany

I first heard about these  from @peonyandhoney when she did her IKEA dresser hack and knew I had to try them.

This is our kids’ FAVORITE car hack! 🚗🚙 Wh This is our kids’ FAVORITE car hack! 🚗🚙
What do you call these things? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve heard people call it:
⭐️ Shower Caddy
⭐️ Stationary Caddy
⭐️ School Caddy

When it is not holding all of our markers and crayons, we clean it and bring it on our road trips for a mess free meal! 

🌎♻️
This car hack is an example that living sustainably can be finding creative ways to make something reusable and have multi-uses instead of buying something new! 

Sometimes, what you want is something you already have. 😉

⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Do you have one of these caddies at home?!

CHOO CHOO! TRAIN WATER SLIDE!!! 🚂💦 Right acr CHOO CHOO! TRAIN WATER SLIDE!!! 🚂💦
Right across the street from The Children’s Museum at La Habra is a splash pad and park! 

We had a fun day exploring the area! 
📍1st Stop: Breakfast watching planes take off.
📍2nd Stop: Dinosaurs + More at @cmlahabra
📍3rd Stop: Brio Park Splash Pad!

(👆Details in the last 2 reels! )

TIP: go here last, and right before naptime! 😉💤

This was the perfect ending of our day because it tired both kids that they peacefully took naps right after a fun filled day! 

⬇️💦⬇️💦⬇️
Would your kids enjoy this splash pad?! 

👏Another thanks to @ocparentguide for this awesome recommendation!!
