Welcome to my blog, where I share my thrilling journey of building a sofa table from scratch, turning my home project into a rewarding adventure of creativity and discovery. If you’re wondering what a sofa table is, it’s a versatile and stylish piece of furniture that sits behind a sofa or against a wall, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal to any living space. As I embarked on this DIY endeavor, I had never built something like this before, but with determination and a willingness to learn, I took each step as an opportunity to figure out the process. Throughout this blog, I’ll walk you through my experience of turning my vision into a tangible reality. Let me share some of my ups and downs, the triumphs and challenges, and most importantly, the joy of creating a one-of-a-kind sofa table that now takes pride of place in my home.

DIY Super Mario Piranha Plants
Growing up, Super Mario Brothers was one of my all-time favorite video games. One of the most iconic elements of the game was the Piranha Plants – those pesky carnivorous plants that would pop out of the pipes and try to take down Mario. I always thought they were so cool, and when we decided to do a Mario Themed Trunk-or-Treat I knew I had to create them. That’s when I decided to make some DIY Piranha Plants!

For this event, the theme was centered around baking.
Fireplace Surround
One of the first projects I completed was after my wife and I moved into our first house in 2010. The house was built in 2001 but had a very 90’s feel to it, including the gas fireplace. It had a flat tile surround with a funky foam mantle and no hearth. So we did a complete remodel of the surrounding wall.
