Transforming a house into a home and showing you how.

Custom Handmade Wood Sign and Decorations

I make handmade painted and 3D wood signs from time to time. The signs are made-to-order.

If you have a personalized one-of-a kind sign in mind, send me a message through Etsy. We can collaborate on making something special just for you.

Wood signs restock sales occur from time to time on on the Built by Jessie Etsy Shop.

Custom Wood Furniture

From time to time I accept custom furniture commission work. I see inspiration everywhere. I am SO game when others have a vision they need help bringing them to life. Pinterst board getting full? Let’s put a dent in it.

Custom Wood Furniture Inquiry

Send me a custom furniture inquiry (link above) to see if we can get your vision from a Pinterest Board to IRL.

Each piece of furniture is made-to-order. I source my materials from local vendors picking each piece of wood myself. I cut it, sand it, build it, stain/paint it all by myself ensuring I get the your desired choice.

Let me help you bring your Pinterest Boards to life.

There are a few of some projects I’ve taken on.

Farmhouse Style Kitchen Island/Table

I was commissioned to build this Farmhouse Style Kitchen Island for a client. It has a lot of charm. The client brought me the plans she found online. I made modifications to the plans to customize it to fit the client’s needs.

This kitchen island is an all-wood construction. It is stained in dark walnut and has a matte top coat to help withstand abuse.

Industrial Farmhouse Bench

The Industrial Farmhouse Bench was constructed of pine and is stained using Varathane Brairsmoke. I added black hardware to add an industrial look to the bench. This bench is allows for large families to gather around a table.

I’m having a stem cell registry event, on Sunday I’m having a stem cell registry event, on Sunday, in the neighborhood of Allapattah in Miami, Florida. 

My goal is not only to…
1️⃣ INCREASE THE ODDS of finding a stem cells donor match for my 💛 
- So I’m going to 🇩🇴“Little Santo Domingo” 🇩🇴 but also 
2️⃣ RAISE AWARENESS about getting on the registry. 

Tell me? 
Are you on the stem cell registry?

I have a link in my bio to help you get squared away. 👌🏽

Did you know it’s EASY to do and it’s FREE?
It’s just a buccal swab - that’s a swab of the cheeks. 
By doing this YOU, yes - YOU, can SAVE THE LIFE of someone in need of a transplant. 
IF you are matched— 80% of stem cell donations are just like donating platelets or plasma. 

So PLEASE don’t let the fear of this being painful-traumatic medical procedure deter you from joining. It’s not that serious. You sit and watch some @netflix while you give up the goods - I mean stem cells. 😜

And have I mentioned that YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE!!!
I mean?!?! Come onnnnn.

Don’t be scared of joining registry. 
👉🏽👉🏽 It’s just a swab of the cheeks. 

And don’t be scared of the pain…
👉🏽👉🏽 If you’re a match, donating stem cells (bone marrow) is just like donating plasma or platelets. 
Not super painful - so have no fear! ☺️

It’s a win-win!
Doesn’t cost you a thing and you get to be a HERO! 
You get to SAVE A LIFE!! 

Please share
Please spread the word.

FOUR percent!!! || 

This community on Instagram has done amazing things by coming together to help those who need it the most. When we find a cause that speaks to us, we SHOW UP!!

So I’m here today to put this challenge out in the world to help make some magic! ✨

As my friend Yami said, we want to take over IG this week!! We want to share #DIYForaCure to raise awareness for
🎗Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗

We have a chance to make an impact by not only helping Kell from @simplyhandmade and Oanh from @dangdiyhome - and their sons Donald and Chase, respectively, who are both battling cancer - but also other children with cancer.

Kell came up with the idea for #diyforacure and the original goal of raising $10K. Shortly thereafter Kell shared that the hospital needed $100K to even start the research. 
So, making the goal $100K was a no brainer!!!! 
Go big or go home!!!! 
Amiright??

Sometimes you gotta go all out. Let’s shoot for the stars!! 💫

If you are not in a position where you can help by donating (no donation is too small because every little bit helps), PLEASE consider sharing this information to spread the word. 

Someone you know may be in a position to help and make an impact, no matter how small. 

Thank you. 

I’ve shared additional ways to make a difference in my stories @builtbyjessie
Are you a “perfectly clean shop” or a “hot m Are you a “perfectly clean shop” or a “hot mess express shop” kinda person??? I must know!!

I like to THINK that I’d be a perfectly clean kinda person because contrary to the obvious mess, I love a clean garage. 
I REALLY DO!

Unfortunately for me, Past Jessie doesn’t help Future Jessie out by having a clean shop to go to when she FINALLY carves out some DIY Time. 😑

Fact is that my shop time and DIY fun is so limited. So when I get to work I do my thing and then it’s deuces.✌🏽 Then MY garage is a hot mess for ever and ever. 😭

While we were out of town our neighbor collected our mail and placed it into the garage for us (cuz they had their trip before we returned). 

So yeah… They got close and personal with this hot mess. 😳🤭😭 I’m embarrassed by the mess. 

*shame, shame, shame* 
Name 👆🏽 show!

Anywhoobs, it been to’ up from the flo’ up for far too long.  It’s time to get back to working on all the projects. 

So… it’s time to clean up!!

Have you tried carving wood? I explored it recent Have you tried carving wood?

I explored it recently and it really got me thinking of all the neat designs I could make. You can contour wood!! 🤯😃 The possibilities are endless. 
So DM 📥  your pattern/ design inspirations. I want to practice some more. 😁
