    How to Build a DIY Rope Swinging Bench (Porch Swing Style)

    February 7, 2026 /

    How to Build a DIY Rope Swinging Bench (Porch Swing Style) If you’ve ever wanted one of those cozy porch swings you see in magazines—but didn’t love the price tag—this DIY rope swinging bench might be your sign to build one yourself. I wanted something that felt sturdy, timeless, and actually comfortable, while still being simple enough to build with basic tools. This swinging bench checks all of those boxes and has quickly become one of our favorite spots to sit, swing, and just slow down. Right up there with my Outdoor Modern Couch Builds from a couple years back! 👉 You can watch the full build video here: Click…

One project turned into another… as usual around h One project turned into another… as usual around here 😂#ad

We finally said goodbye to the old hot tub and gave this entire deck a much-needed refresh! We pressure washed everything, added a new outdoor sitting area and dining table, then finished it off with curtains and a TV. It seriously feels like our own little backyard resort now. 🌿✨

But removing the hot tub left us with one question… where is the new one going?! 👀
That led us straight into the NEXT project. We started clearing out our completely unused side yard with our weed wacker from Lowe’s, because we’re turning that forgotten space into a hot tub oasis!

One outdoor space finished ✔️ and another one just getting started. Stay tuned because this side yard transformation is going to be good!

Comment “FALL” and I’ll send you the links to everything I used from my Lowe’s Storefront!

After a roof leak ruined part of the flooring in this space, I finally get the chance to replace the ONE thing I’ve wanted to change since we renovated it.

I headed to Home Depot to check out Pergo Outlast flooring and was honestly surprised by how elevated the options are and they’re built to handle real life, too.

Now for the hard part… OPTION 1 or OPTION 2?! 👇 Tell me which one you’d choose!
Follow along to learn more about Pergo Outlast flooring and see how I install this!

We’re officially starting the bedroom makeover + fireplace build, and since we had this wall completely open, it was the perfect time to add @henry.company ULTRATouch Recycled Denim Insulation.
It’s made from recycled denim fibers (yes, actual jeans 👖), helps with thermal + acoustic performance, and my favorite part as a DIYer — no fiberglass, no itch, and no gloves or mask needed.
Part 1: wall demolished, fireplace framed + insulation in. ✔️Now help me decide… STONE or BRICK?!
Follow along for the next part, and save this for your next project! You can find Henry ULTRATouch at The Home Depot or comment “JEANS” for a direct link

Adding this garage pergola was much easier than I thought it would have been and you can build one too!

Now do I add a vine plant and if so what is a good (easy to care for) option?!
