In the past I’ve shared that I’m gluten intolerant, so our house is basically 100% gluten free besides the few “normal” things Anthony likes to eat. In the beginning, it was difficult to find enjoyment in food. I felt like I was shoved on an island, not knowing what I could or couldn’t eat, and […]

Since the tutorial for our office desk is pretty lengthy, I decided to break it up into a few different parts. On Monday, I shared how we built the base, making a riser for the filing cabinet and determining the overall height of the desk. Today, we’re talking about how we chose, and attached the […]
