Hands down, the thing I love most about my job is all of the creatives that are brought into my life who enrich and inspire me. Ana White is definitely one of these people! I am so proud to be able to help Ana promote her new book, The Handbuilt Home.
Ana’s book is full of brand new plans to help you save money while furnishing your home. There are 34 project tutorials carried out by some of your favorite bloggers! You are bound to recognize many of the faces in Ana’s book who brought life to her furniture plans. The book is geared towards every skill level and even has two full chapters of technical information including Ana’s favorite tools and supplies, building techniques, and even help picking out your materials.
Below is a short video with more info on the book!
Right now Ana is on her book tour at several Home Depot stores across the country! If you are lucky enough to be near one of the cities she is visiting, be sure to stop by and say hello. The Home Depot is also generously providing free books at events with purchase of $20 while supplies last!

My ultimate project would be a big ‘ol banquet table from reclaimed wood.

My husband already has a hard time getting me out of lowrs and Home Depot. Ladies night, do-it-herself workshops, shopping trips. He knows when i say “shopping” , I really mean HD/lowes. It’s like an addiction. I used to joke with him that nothing says I love you more than a trip to Home Depot. Ok seriously, could you imagine the damage I cod do in there with that book. Ridiculouslessness! First project, a bed format 2 year old. Imight get out of control. Or maybe I might get out of control!
