Back in 2020 my dad and I designed this built-in library shelving for my dining room. The budget was to tight for custom cabinetry, so we figured out a way to build the idea I had in my head using Ikea and a whole lot of trim. Over the years I’ve referenced this project a lot in my DIY consultations and have had a few people tag me in their own versions (so cool!).

Studio Plumb Gets A Refresh!
This official announcement is 2 months overdue (let’s just blame COVID) but I am so excited to officially announce my brand refresh!

ORC Spring 2020 :: Week 2
Hi! This week zoomed by but feels like progress went a bit slow. But today I’m really excited to show you all the ideas that have been brewing for months behind-the-scenes!
