Every day after dinner, if a new human enters, my dogs like to pretend I forgot to feed them. 🙄

Well this 24 hour job turned out just like I wanted it to! Picked this handmade solid wood table up from a yard sale site last year. My daughter has loved using it has her craft table and we have the highlighter and sharpie to prove it.

Decided to strip the 5 layers of paint off the top and bring back some of that original beauty. It was a real labor of love, five coats of paint stripper and a whole lot of elbow grease.

We plan to use this as a lego table, and kids ping pong table. Multi-functional is always my goal in life.

Where do your kids do crafts, legos and coloring?

This is the beginning of my next project. A builtin desk for my kids and a second for my husband.

My MIL is renovating her kitchen so lucky for me I was able to pick up a few of her cabinets. I love to repurpose used materials and give them a new life.

Since kitchen cabinets are taller than traditional desk height, we’ve cut the base/kick plate off. Then I put my @wagnerspraytech paint sprayer to use. Lucky for me we have had some unseasonably warm days making it the perfect opportunity for this project.

I’m using 2x12 lumber for the tops making this an extremely economical project. Are you looking for a desk for your home? This is such a great way to reuse and recycle, check out your local @loudounhabitat to put existing materials to good use, while donating to a great cause!

If you’ve been following along in my stories we’ve been in renovation/improvement mode for months now. We are finally at the end of a year long journey to finish the basement of our dreams. We’ve spent forever deciding every detail and placement from studs to fixtures to decor. I can’t wait to show you the finishing touches as my vision finally comes full circle!

For now here is a peek of our new wet bar. It’s 99% there! Of course I had to have a touch of lumber as seen in these rough sawn floating shelves. We will be adding a white subway backsplash to finish this off which I think will really make these shelves pop more! ➡️Swipe for more details ➡️

Woman Accidentally Orders TINY Dog Bed, Dog Pretends Everything Is Fine

Dogs are the BEST. 🤣 Does your dog love a too small bed? Share your pictures below, See mine in the comments. 🐶👇🏻

You know how it is. Your mom buys you something, and it's totally the wrong thing, but you don't want to hurt her feelings and so you pretend to actually love it.

It might be Monday but that’s not stopping us from living our best life. For my birthday this year, I’ll be decorating for Christmas all day!

Festivities always start with the Carpenters Christmas Album. It’s tradition for all of my 29th birthdays. 🙄🤣 My elves are hard at work as always. 😴

Mike Rowe Says Death of Shop Class Is Why Country Has $1.6 Trillion in Student Debt - Tennessee Star

I feel this in my soul! I grew up in a small town on a farm with a small high school. Shop class was probably my very favorite elective all four years. I learned all the woodworking tools, safety and proper technique. I also had the opportunity to learn welding, which was probably my favorite at the time.

When both my husband and I lost our corporate jobs to lay-offs in 2017, I USED those skills to start GinnyBins. It saved my family’s life in a time when both my husband and I had no income, a mortgage and three kids.

Even if you think you’ll never need a certain skill, you never know what the future holds. (Although I’m still pretty sure I’ll never use algebra).

I’m here for it. 🤣 #sweaterweather

While so many people are waiting for the winter to come for all of the festivities that happen during this season, let's not forget the worst part of it -- the cold weather. With the plummeting temperatures, everyone is starting to feel the breeze and so are their dogs. It's true that our smallest f...

Idk about y’all. But this is what it looks like in my house when I work from home.

It’s getting cold, don’t forget your thumbless children. ❤️

If you’ve been following along the last several weeks you would have seen this beauty! We are 95% done, just waiting on flashing and lights but I’m thrilled with how my vision came to life.

While I thought she was huge when we started building, I was way wrong after filling her up today 🤣

In the next 4-6 weeks follow along in my stories/highlights as the finish work starts in our basement.

You can catch my IG highlights for all of our past and current personal HGTV renovations (patio, shed, basement) instagram.com/ginnybins1

As for this shed, I still want to add a farmhouse light to the front, and some small cedar planting boxes under the windows and probably some landscaping in the spring. What do you think? What would you add?

If you’ve been following my stories you know we are knee deep in home improvement. We just wrapped up this EPIC patio. And by ‘we’ I mean Wildwood Landscape local here in Purcellville, VA. (Head over to my Instagram.com/ginnybins1 to check out my highlights and see the entire step by step process. Start to finish.)

We had over 15 quotes for this project and I was dedicated to picking a local small business. From the start of this project, Wildwood was incredibly professional. They helped us refine our design, were beyond professional with their drawing, quote and contracts.

When you do any sort of manual labor or construction you genuinely appreciate the hard work, cuts and precision of other trades. I often spent time watching, videoing and taking pictures of this crew and God Bless them they always smiled while I gave them thumbs up and waved like I crazy lady. .

I literally could cry I love this patio and experience THAT much. I can not recommend them enough to anyone looking for hardscape or landscape anything.

‘The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.’
.
.
Being recognized at the @loudoun100 last night was such an incredible honor. More than anything it was so humbling watching the recognition through my children’s eyes. I’ve never felt more proud to set the example for the most important people in my life.
.
.
So often we think our words and actions don’t matter. That they don’t make an impact. It’s easy to feel small in a world so big. But maybe that’s what we have been missing all along. Small actions, turn to big ones, after all you never know whose watching. 😍

*Disclaimer: Not my photos/work. *. If you’ve been following along you know we are knee deep in renovation utopia! Each day we get closer to a finished product means I’m closer to building my own inspired pieces. Like one of these two photos by the amazing @anawhitediy or @shanty2chic Which media cabinet is your favorite for a basement TV area? This will be where my family watches movies, football games and other general entertainment. So what say you? First picture or second?!?

This little baby is SO cute!

Breakfast for my girls. A few months ago my oldest Chloe had to have 12 teeth removed 😩. Her and I were both traumatized but in the end she felt a whole lot better. Since then most treats are too hard for her and often made her choke. She was the main motivation for me to start Ginny’s Craft Barkery. The other being my Penny, who thanks to a poor treat choice (a beef bone from the grocery store) had to have major stomach surgery many years ago. She’s never been right since and often struggles with digestion and allergies.

Producing human grade, simple ingredient treats has now become both a passion and necessity for my fur babies.

Today’s breakfast is PB/Banana Oatmeal cookies. Both good for them and me 😉

We are two days into our home improvement project. Step one was this epic shed and I’m thrilled with the progress. We chose to position it here, near the house for multiple reasons. This is unused space, it’s close to power and it doesn’t ruin my country views. I can’t wait to dress it up with flower boxes and landscaping 😍.
.
.
This is just one phase of our master plan, we are also finishing our basement and adding a patio.
.
.
When we moved out of suburbia it was exactly for this reason, to spend more time enjoying the outdoors. What home improvement projects or builds are you working on or looking forward to?

Basement Project Day 1: This is the start of our epic journey to kid sanity aka my newly finished basement 🤣. The entire house smells like lumber and I love it. Can someone make me this candle scent lol. We’ve moved GinnyBins HQ to the garage. It will be split between there and my better than Cheryl’s she shed that’s in the making. To say I’m giddy is an understatement. Follow my stories to keep up with the daily action. Instagram.com/ginnybins1 Shout out to Legacy Construction & Woodworking for doing the heavy lifting for us in this project!! They have been fantastic to work with every step of the way so far!!

Do you ever make something for someone else and then realize ‘damn I could really use that’ 🤣. Story. Of. My. Life. People. Over the last two years I’ve made some super awesome stuff, and yet NONE of it has been for me. This year, we begin a giant project of finishing our basement and building a she-shed. Move over Cheryl. Follow along on the journey! I can’t wait to customize my own house with my own builds! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
