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!

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.

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.   Please remember, this is an audio podcast that you can listen to here on the blog, or you can  Subscribe to DIY with MRL on iTunes, Google Play and Tune In   Thanks to today’s sponsor:   Homeright Finish Max Projects Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.

Welcome to another great episode of DIY with MRL. The show notes below will help you quickly find the items and projects mentioned in episode #13 How to Deal With Mildew on Furniture. Yes, whether your furniture project has mildew, mold or just plain old musty drawers, today’s show will address tips for dealing with it. This conversation  starts with a question from Barbara who found an antique chair on the side of the road. The first project discussed were the blue gray bookshelves that I got from a neighbor that had a lot of mildew on them from being stored in a dark, damp storage area.   *this post contains affiliate links* Do you have musty drawers, is the next project I discuss. A project was made from a desk that had been stored in the basement, causing the drawers to become very musty. I tried many, many items but I mentioned that Odo Ban was the product that works the best. I still continue to use this product all around the home. Also in this week’s show were comments from friends who had great advice about how they tackle their own musty smelling furniture. There was a product I mentioned that I thought Laura might have been talking about, but the name was escaping me while I was recording the podcast. I’ve used Damp Rid for absorbing moisture in the damp basement. Tru has a great idea for suitcases!  Click play below to hear all about it.   For the project coffee station repurposed buffet, I actually used Clorox Disinfecting Bleach Foamer for the Bathroom to deal with mildew.  For more details click over to the blog post or click play below.   I share briefly how I paint 99% of my projects using my diy chalky paint primer using plaster of paris and Behr paint. I either use my Homeright Finish Max or a cheap chip brush. I explain why I prefer the chip brush over a nice Purdy paint brush, and how I do several light coats for the perfect paint finish.  Click play below.       Thanks to today’s sponsor’s Homeright Finish Max Projects   Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.

Have you been listening to the weekly podcasts? In episode #8 I talk about inspiration. So many people ask me “how do you think of this stuff”?  Tune in to this week’s show to hear a little bit about my thought process.   Above are the projects that were discussed in episode #8, the links and details are below in the show notes:   Be PINSPIRED by following along with My Repurposed Life on Pinterest.   Gail talks about the hall tree she made that was inspired by Debbie from Refresh Restyle. You can see the $2 hollow core doors and more recent finds here.   Gail’s inspiration for marrying 2 pieces of furniture originally came from Sharon S on a message board from years ago. You can see Sharon’s work on her Facebook page, Another Man’s Treasure. You will find lots of inspiration there!   The second $2 door and a $5 dresser mirror were used to make a DIY entry way piece. Gail made the easiest hall tree ever from a door for a Habitat for Humanity event in Madison Indiana.   After seeing a desk/hall table in a magazine, inspiration struck for this project: Ammo Box coffee table Cutting up furniture is a favorite pass time, where these projects evolved from desks: Tower of Terror, desk into a tall lingerie chest.  Another desk into a chest or  lowboy piece of furniture. Early on, Gail was inspired by Ballard Designs to make a drying rack out of an old crib rail. Don’t let your budget deter you. Hear all about junking, and how an old curbed ping pong table plywood was used to make a corner headboard bench.     Thanks to today’s sponsor:   Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.

It’s already time for episode 6 of DIY with MRL! Did you know that most people who give up on podcasting, do so around episode #7. I’m trying to improve with each episode, so I know I have to keep going!   Karen Cooper from Dogs Don’t Eat Pizza was our guest this week. Karen talks about how she got her unique blog name, her largest DIY, and even an (almost) DIY failure.  The conversation also goes toward Thrift Store Shopping. Karen explains to gail the difference in Upcycling and Repurposing. Gail realizes that maybe she “plans” DIY differently than many other DIY experts including Karen.  Karen likes to have a plan. Do YOU plan and sketch? Listen to the podcast to get the behind the scenes details of Karen’s favorite repurposed project using old doors from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.  Her project was even featured in This Old House!! Karen wants to encourage anyone and everyone to be brave enough to DIY and use power tools. Gail also made a project from and old door. When given the chance to ask gail a question, Karen asked what was the first BIG DIY around MY Repurposed Life—which was The Ugly Fireplace Makeover. Gail briefly mentioned blue footprints on the painted vinyl floor.   Thanks to today’s Sponsor:     Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.

  We have a new episode of DIY with MRL, where Gail talks about getting started with power tools, and Jeanie Emmert joins in on the discussion with getting over your fear of power tools. *This post contains Affiliate Links* You can see pictures from the early years and learn more on my About Me page. This is one of my first projects from way back when.   If you’re new to owning power tools, and can only make one purchase, I suggest a Jigsaw. If you think you’re going to want to make larger projects, go for the Sliding compound miter saw and have the big box store cut your larger sheet goods for you.   This weeks guest was Jeanie Emmert from Create and Babble. Jeanie talks about building a  Farmhouse Table that she uses in her fabulous craft room, and a sweet armoire that she built for her granddaughter. Jeanie shares a story about her first experience with a saw, and how she overcame her fear of power tools. Jeanie has something new she’s working on, and it’s not a building project. Listen to this weeks episode to hear all about Jeanie’s new ebook that will be out this Fall.   Jeanie asked me about my most recent power tool purchase . . . While talking to Jeanie about headboards, I mentioned how it took me a year to work on this Chalkboard Headboard   Thank you to today’s sponsor: Be sure to see my Heirloom Traditions Projects, for lots of inspiration!   Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.
