D.I.Y. Projects never seem to go as smoothly in reality as they do in my head.
Check out my hunky carpenter!
I managed to break an industrial strength drill bit.
Jake shot me some stink eye for that.
I also drilled all the holes with the drill in reverse.
I kept wondering why there was smoke coming out of the wood.
Confession…My carpenter and I did all the work except cover it. My sewing machine is kinda wimpy when it comes to any material thicker than pantyhose.
What do you think of the leather? It’s actually vinyl…CHA-CHING!
With a little help from Chavez Upholstery, TA-DA! I’m happy with the results.
(OK, I know the toothpick legs look tacky. I grabbed the first thing I saw at Home Depot. They are all wrong. The new legs are in the mail via the internet).
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
Looks great! Did you keep calling your hunky carpenter Ty? btw, I love the socks and flip flops! 🙂

You have a beautiful home Michelle and your new ottoman is a nice addition, great job. What a talent. That was a fun night, it was nice of you to have it at your house.
Michelle, it was great to hear from you. Your home is gorgeous! Love the ottoman…that was quite ambitious.
Very tasteful and balanced. You’re very talented…P.S. it’s a good thing you weren’t using a hammer with that drill in reverse…ya’d knocked yourself silly…
One word: WOW!
LOVE IT.
Wow! I love it! Your house is so beautiful!

So beautiful! I can’t believe how talented you are.
Oh wow! That looks great…very very high end looking!
What were the new legs you bought? Links pics? 🙂
Girl you are awesome! You should totally own your own business doing this!
I would love to make one of these myself! Could you make a post that followed a step by step process? Minus the upholstery of course! 🙂 Thanks!
Hi, I loved the idea of the coffe table turning into a puf! I have a 1 year old boy and a coffe table just like yours. Could you explain with more details how to do this project?? PLEASE!!!
