Home is Where the Heart Is – Framed Maps Tutorial
I saw this idea on pinterest but the maps were in a floating frame. I just used a regular frame and took the mat out. The crinkled cardboard came with this frame so I used it as my backdrop. This frame is a 14×18″ frame. Wanna make your own?? It’s really quite easy.

Found the Floating frame at JoAnns craft store. Simply tape your pics to the inside piece of glass, my ribbon is also on the inside between the glass.

Extra Large Hope Chest/ Storage Bench Tutorial
This is the perfect little storage space for all those extra blankets and bedding you have lying around in piles(or at least we did)! But not anymore. My amazingly talented hubby and I built this chest for the end of our bed to hold all those items. This would also work great against a wall. *We have a cal. king bed so this bench is quite large. We searched all the furniture stores and everywhere online trying to find a storage bench to fit at the end of our bed, but they were all too short or didn’t have enough storage space! Want to make one for the end of…
