I finished the TV frame! I can’t believe it actu I finished the TV frame! I can’t believe it actually worked! I tend to rush through projects because I only have spurts of time with three kids. But for this frame I took my time, thought it through and just took one day at a time. If you watched in my stories, I only own a drill and a small miter box. I’ve never even built a box before! So this is a big project for me. Thanks for joining me on this crazy ride. Full tutorial coming soon!

What’s one thing that you made that you kind of can’t believe that you did it?!
