A few weeks ago, we headed to New York to work with the Nate Show again. We were super excited when they invited us back! We weren't 100% sure what we'd be doing on the show (and we can't tell you… you'll have to watch next Wednesday, the 26th.) However, we did know we'd be doing something on the set and it involved DIY. That got us thinking about DIYers Must-Have Supplies… what things we couldn't do a project without.
DIYers Must-Have Supplies We started making a list, and checking it twice (no, I'm not bustin' out the Christmas music this early… the day after Halloween is the acceptable date in the Mangin family!) and then we got a rolling suitcase to transport all of our DIY must-haves to NYC. Here's Jess packing up after our time with Nate!
We thought we'd share a list of our must-haves with you! You know how sometimes husbands aren't 100% sure what stocking stuffers to buy? Well, slap this list on the fridge and tell him anything on there would be a great stocking stuffer and make a DIYer very happy on xmas morn!
Of course this list is not all-inclusive, and we most likely forgot a few essentials, but it's a working document. These are all things that I have in my house right now. Well, lots of these items used to be stored in Eric's tool dresser, but we all know what happened to that!
I figured I could give you a peek into my supplies and how I keep them all semi-organized. Welcome to my basement…
Ok, I know it seems a tad overwhelming, but let me break it down a bit!
1-Caulk, spray paint, mini paint samples 2- Spackle tools, Roller heads, chalkline 3- Paint… lots and lots of paint 4- Oodles of picture frames (and dust!) 5- Extra lamp bases (from my staging days) 6- More paint… I have about 4 shelves dedicated to paint 7- Rollers, paint trays, brushes 8- Artwork, frames There's a whole lot more, but that's the main gist. The more projects we do, the more supplies we gather! How about you? What items are your DIY Must-Haves?
