This is a good show for anyone looking to get into the game through turn keys and Bo offers some great tips to make it happen!
Kim Six from The Kim Six Fix blog was our guest today. If you’ve never heard Kim do a video or interview, you are in for a treat! She’s so much fun to talk to and hang out with. If you listened to last week’s show, Cher from Designs by Studio C and I were talking about an upcoming “one board” challenge and how awesome Kim’s project was going to be. Be sure to check out her first scroll saw project, a wooden basket/bowl. *this post contains affiliate links* Can you believe this is her FIRST scroll saw project? Kim has some great tips about finding out exactly what tools you will want to add to your collection. You will love listening to her talk about her selection of tools, and which are her favorites. Kim schooled me on picking up some “no name” brand batteries on Amazon. She picked up an off brand Makita battery that is holding up well. Kim shares with us why you might NOT want to pick up tools at thrift stores. Oh my! Kim talks about her lawnmower, and it makes me chuckle. Kim shared a story about installing bead board in her home and her son’s new bed, using her favorite tool. (click play to listen to this week’s episode for all the details) Kim discusses using a circular saw to rip 2x4’s because she didn’t own a table saw to make an awesome West Elm inspired Mirror. Kim compares sawing to quilting, only Kim could do that. I love Kim’s favorite repurposed project on her blog, it’s made from a repurposed crib, and she has the sweetest reason for it being her favorite. Kim’s question to me is “what is your favorite part of blogging and why do you keep it up, even though the face of blogging is changing”. Thank you Kim for hanging out with DIY with MRL!

Welcome to Episode #15 of DIY with MRL. I hope you understand that this SHOW NOTES post is about the podcast that goes along with the blog My Repurposed Life. If you would like to listen to the conversation I had with Cher Texter, please click PLAY below on the player. *This post contains affiliate links* Some of the things we discussed in this weeks show are referenced with the following links: Cher offers over 500 free furniture plans on her blog Designs by Studio C. Cher’s favorite project is her kitchen remodel, see those details here: Kitchen (Before) | Kitchen (After) Gail remembers seeing this project, which happens to be the most popular project on Cher’s site. Outdoor Sink (Connecting to Hose) Cher’s most popular furniture build is her Custom Vanity . She doesn’t repurpose a lot, but does like to participate in the Habitat For Humanity’s REstore and After. See her project by clicking that link. Be sure to keep up with Cher on her blog so you can see the Bench she’s talking about in today’s show. She will show it off with her wall mounted desk when it is completed. Gail mentioned her reclaimed wood potting bench, and her mid century modern headboard bench where she used Cher’s idea of tapered legs. Have you seen the organized garage storage that we talked about? 4 Gail proudly mentioned the fact that daughter Jamie and her husband Andy were on Listed Sisters this past June. Cher and Gail are both fans of the Kreg Jig, and prefer buying their pocket hole screws on Amazon. Both participated in the Power Tool Challenge for August’s theme of a One Board Challenge. Gail recommended checking out Kim Six’ project going up Thursday. One last thing, Cher’s question to Gail was about project fails. Gail’s answer was about a topless coffee table that she has yet to complete from THREE YEARS ago. In addition, she mentioned her most recent “oops” involving a Kreg Jig pocket hole mis-drilled on a coffee table project.

Today’s Quick Tip is about Moen’s new shower seat that’s made from teak wood. It’s pretty sweet and comes in two different finishes, oil rubbed bronze or stainless steel. This seat is great for older homeowners or anyone who wants more stability in the bathroom. You can check it out over on Moen’s site http://www.moen.com Visit the Bathroom section then look for Safety and that’s where you’ll find the teak seat. Builder’s grade mirrors are plain and sometimes flat out ugly. My DIY friend Kim Six redesigned her mirror using standard lumber from Home Depot. The cool part is she didn’t have to make any miters and had all the pieces cut to size at the store. She shows you exactly how to do this over on her website http://www.thekimsixfix.com/2012/05/framing-mirror-without-miter-cuts.html This is a project anyone can do and with Kim’s detailed instructions I know you could knock this out in a weekend. Thanks Kim for sharing your talent.
