MAKE • BUILD • IMPROVE • CREATE
Ideas imagined.
Tools gathered.
Things made.
A collection of hands-on projects around our home, from painting walls and assembling furniture to building play spaces, decorating rooms and figuring things out one project at a time.
MADE AT HOME
The best spaces are built a little at a time.
Some projects begin with a proper plan. Others begin with, “What if we tried this?”
Painting, assembling, drilling, measuring, rearranging and occasionally starting over are all part of the story.
FROM THE WORKSHOP
Project stories
Builds, experiments, improvements and creative ideas, told through the process, photographs, videos and the finished result.
STORIES IN THE MAKING
The workshop is ready for its stories.
Published Makes & DIY stories will appear here as visual story cards. Open one to follow the idea, the work, the photographs and videos, and how the project turned out.
THE DIY RHYTHM
Imagine. Measure. Make. Adjust.
There is usually a plan. There is occasionally a second plan. The finished result tends to land somewhere interesting between the two.
Imagine
Spot something that could work, look better or simply be more fun.
Plan
Measure, sketch, gather materials and work out how everything should fit.
Build
Paint, drill, assemble, mount, align and occasionally disassemble again.
Enjoy
Step back, admire the result and inevitably think of the next project.
