How I transformed a DIY table into a DIY craft table

When I started transforming our front room into an office I realized that there was no room for the art table that I had built for my boys. You see, I had just moved it from their room a few months ago. I had no plans of moving it back. I really (I mean REALLY) like the table.  I had to come up with a plan. 

I decided I could probably mount it to the wall. Hopefully.  Without much hesitation, or even much thought, certainly no conversation was had with my hubby, I sawed the legs off.

How We are SUCCESSFULLY Tackling Chores!!

Our boys are 8 and 5. We don't do the allowance thing. Instead we went to instill in them early that they are rewarded for doing what they should do already.

Don't get me wrong, they get rewarded, sort of. We tell them they earn tablet time or video game time by doing chores. They earn picking the Friday night family movie or get to cook dinner (yes, my kids get AMPED over cooking!!



By the same token they can also lose those treasured treats. 

Here is a picture of the incentive chart we have been using for a few months. Let me tell you, this sucker WORKS! They do not want to have their clip moved. If by chance that clip does move, its the first thing they check on the next day!!

It all Started with a Disaster of a Garage and a Web Search..

Once upon a time, I was intimidated by all things power tool related. Sure I could use a drill as a  screwdriver but that was the extent of my abilities. Until one magical day when I found Ana White's site. Can you hear the angels singing?  This was the site that I learned that I CAN build.

Ana has great plans that are easy to follow. I started small, my first project was 2x4 shelving in our garage and a bike rack. Check them out, but please don't judge our garage is a steaming hot mess!
