Handmade Walls

By

Well, I was hoping to be over this cold by now, but not only is it still completely rockin’ my world- I woke up with pink eye yesterday, too. And by pink “eye”, I mean pink eyes. Sheesh! Anywho, I’ve been trying my hardest to take it easy. Resting, reading…all that good stuff. Yesterday, I e-read Handmade Walls, by our local friends, Ashley and Jamin Mills…

I knew those two were creative…

…but man it was cool to see how they break down the methods to their magnificence, step-by-step style!

Their e-book walked me through the creation of 22 different projects. Each of them varied slightly in cost-to-make and level of difficulty, and each of them had it’s own nifty name. One of my favorites is the Stanley. Here’s a sneak peek…

And here’s a sneak peek at some of the other goodies included in their book:

When I was finished reading it, I texted Ashley to see if I could purchase another copy to give away here today. She said yes (yay!), so if you’d like to enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this blog post (email subscribers will need to visit TheLetteredCottage.net to enter), and I’ll randomly select a winner at 10pm (CST) on Sunday night. (May 12, 2013)

Good luck and happy weekend!

    I love The Handmade Home! And since we just bought our first house, we have a ton of walls that need some love.

    Oh man, this looks so great!! I just love the kids playhouse!! Since it looks like we are staying in our flat a bit longer (houses are just sooo expensive here in Austria at the moment) it would be nice to give our walls a bit love with the help of this book!! Have a great weekend! Ulli

    Hi Layla,
    I would love to have a copy of this e-book. I live in upstate NY (the tughill region that is always on the news) it is grey and blah here 6 months of the year. We had a couple of nice days then today back to grey, rainy and blah. I need something to inspire me! I hope I’m the winner of this e-book, but if not, I will just have to purchase my own copy! LOL Thanks for all of your email inspirations, I look forward to reading them! Shelley
