This laundry room wasn’t working for our family, so we gave it a full DIY overhaul. From tearing out the old cabinet to building custom storage and adding a sleek new backsplash, every detail was designed to make the space more functional and beautiful. Read More| Astins Designs
We discovered a hollow space behind a kitchen wall and turned it into custom built-in storage. In this post, I’m sharing how we transformed unused wall space into a functional cabinet, from cutting…| Astins Designs

The post details a couple's renovation of a coat closet into a functional space for a 33-gallon saltwater aquarium and a litter box. They carefully removed existing items, framed the closet for weight support, installed electrical wiring, applied waterproofing, and added decorative elements. Eventually, they created a cohesive design, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.| Astins Designs

-this post contains affiliate links- We bought this awesome hot tub, but there was only one side that had cup holders, which is fine when there is just one person in it, but we have friends over to enjoy the hot tub and movie night all the time! Plus the large main jets are on... Read More| Astins Designs
We already have one TV outside, but even though it swivels it's harder to see from the hot tub because of the pergola leg. That's fine when it's only one person in the hot tub because you can position it where you want, but when multiple people are in the hot tub someone always has an obstructed view and the TV is kind of far away. This sounds kind of dumb and unnecessary, but we entertain quite a bit and some of our friends come over to watch TV shows like Yellowstone and Landman, so we want...| Astins Designs
–this post contains affiliate links– This view of our patio is nice and all but I felt like it was still missing something. I felt like it was all hard lines and no softness to the design, so we added these beautiful custom made outdoor curtains from The Hues! I had these custom made and... Read More| Astins Designs
–this post contains affiliate links– As you might have caught a glimpse of in my last post, we added a pergola! Actually, we added 2 pergolas, one for each side of our new patio! We had the seating area to the right of the patio when facing the house originally, but I had always planned... Read More| Astins Designs
We've had this 10x12 patio in our backyard since we moved in. It's what the builder put in and we really needed it bigger! We poured concrete and it made such a huge difference for our backyard!| Astins Designs
If you've been around for a while you'll remember the 1st expandable kitchen island I built. It was pretty cool! But I've been dreaming of a more vintage style island I wanted to build to give a different look to my kitchen. Tyler, my husband, thought I was crazy for wanting to replace it cause he loved the old one so much! He told me if I build a new one it has to expand like the last one to be just as useful as the last one was! So I got to work planning!| Astins Designs
I saw a few inspo pics on Pinterest and knew I wanted to add some shelves in my pantry that go in between the studs.| Astins Designs
This pantry is about 4ft deep and 3ft wide with 2ft deep shelving. It's just not very functional and I'm ready to change that! With the shelves being so deep, things tend to get lost behind other things and go bad. I've been thinking about how to make this pantry better for the last several years and I think I finally have a good plan!| Astins Designs
When I made over the bathroom the first time I added shiplap to the back wall and ceiling, you can read more about that in this post. I used wood glue and brad nails so the ceiling was messed up from the glue, I needed a new plan because I didn't want shiplap this time around.| Astins Designs
I've tiled about 5 times now with different material. I've done a friend's kitchen backsplash, another friend's shower, my own bathtub surround, my bathroom floor and most recently my own shower. I've had enough experience to where I'm getting the hang of what works and what doesn't work and that's what this post is about.| Astins Designs
It was now time for demo! I saved the shower part of this bathroom remodel for last because I knew it would be A LOT of work and it would take a while, but no more delaying it!| Astins Designs
We had this open shelving in our master bathroom and as much as I tried to keep it nice and organized, it always ended up looking messy and acting like more of a catch all. I couldn't take it anymore! The original plan was to demo the shelves and the left wall and expand the shower. But when I got to this project, Tyler really didn't want to deal with checking to see if it was a load bearing wall or not. Plus I had already gotten rid of the storage under the vanity and thought it would be sma...| Astins Designs
A few years ago my husband built the below barn door, since it was made of real wood and we didn't acclimate it to the space before hanging it up, it warped. Some people have suggested it was because of the humidity in our bathroom, but he made a similar door for a friend for her pantry in her kitchen and hers did the same thing. I ended up building her a new barn door too.| Astins Designs
Remember that loft bed I built for Mia back in 2020 when she was 11? Well, she's requested it come down!| Astins Designs
better as I've been remodeling it. We normally buy those large packages of toilet paper and we only have so many places to store it, I don't want to store it in the garage or somewhere away from the bathroom where it's hard to get to or some place we'd forget about it and end up buying more. Well one day it clicked! There is just enough space in our master bathroom water closet for a low profile cabinet with enough space to house our toilet paper and other bathroom supplies!| Astins Designs
