HOLD THE PHONE! 10 AWESOME Wood Shim DIY Hacks YOU MUST TRY!

[@_Jolyn]

Wife: Welcome home honey. How was your day? Hubs: There was a crazy lady digging in the shim box again. I tried to tell her they were all the same. She told me they had different tones. I don't think anyone will be asking her what color shim was used to level the kitchen island.

I love seeing your bloopers. It proves you're one of us. Makes me feel more normal.

[@jenniferallred7248]

I definitely think ‘A’ for a feature wall for a young man and it’s also something he can grow into! It’s classic, simple, yet makes a statement.

[@donnaallen9263]

I like option C. It looks warm & cozy.

[@davidwalter8821]

Hello how are you doing today

[@coffeecreations6645]

😂🤣 Butt quacks! I just laughed so hard I started coughing. The hubby and kids didn’t think it was that funny, but they didn’t watch your video and out takes! And... I totally agree with you with running away to hide from people you know. You’re not the only one to do that. Weirdness looks good on you!

[@aileecaraballofontanez211]

These are all great! I’m rooting on option ‘A’…can’t wait for the reveal!

[@Sooz1234]

C is classic, especially just the bottom section. That would leave room for artwork up top.

[@dianegomez8223]

Thank you for sharing your DIYs I loved them all couldn't decide on one and for your son room makeover is A

[@jodigoodson6925]

Love your bloopers and confessions! I love option C!

[@dawnmatthews1507]

I vote for C. Loved all of your projects!

[@lisaconnelly7731]

C. It's gorgeous and he won't outgrow it. The style is timeless.

Hahaha, loved the butt quacks joke. My grandsons will love it.

Hello binny, how are you doing today?

[@ericarandall2692]

I like A 😊 On your chalk board you wrote “make your own dinner…” I just want to share that we call that Bible Dinner, “seek and you shall find.” 😉

[@CreativeontheCheap]

Yes! Love that! It’s also commonly known as Fend Night in out house.

[@bobbijodubelaar6151]

I wish my son would follow this advice. If I said it was a make your own dinner night, he would revolt. He is 11 and thinks I should cook EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT or order takeout. My daughter would eat cold cereal or ramen every night if I let her, haha.

[@robynw6307]

We call it GYO (instead of BYO) - Get your own.

[@lindarodgers2476]

A is the one . Love all the wood ideas. Your so funny 🤣 love it .

C is my fave, and my daughter is the same way. She has even left the store to avoid people. She once hid in a bush to hide from a guy she went to school with.

I like A for Sam! It was so great seeing him and he's letting US pick his accent wall?!!! You're the best Sam! I hope y'all watched till the very end, so entertaining! Your whole family is SO funny!

[@patriciavincent1569]

Wall "B" is my favorite as soon as I saw wall "B" I was thinking how can I do that wall in a rented apartment with out hurting the wall. What ever wall he gets "Lucky Sam!!"

[@stormfromminnesota1708]

Thank you for showing the best way to roll up tubes of glue. It is so much easier than just squeezing in the middle and fighting to get more glue out. It also saves on wasted glue when every penny counts. I really enjoy your channel!😻

It's between A and C, but I favor A. I love the mirror project!

[@angelapapadopoulos189]

Courtney - The out-takes were great! They made me laugh. We all have those kinds of days too. I am going with Option C for Sam's wall. The bottom gives him a headboard type look. The upper a more decorative.

Hello how are you doing Angela

[@danalowe5451]

I like feature wall "A" the best, cant wait to see the room finished!

[@davidwalter8821]

Liked the second tree and your last wreath the best. I vote for A for Sam's room.

I really enjoyed this diy video, so much so that I subscribed! You are funny. We need more humor in this crazy world. As for Sam’s feature I would choose either A or C.

Thank you! Welcome!

[@tessymerrick7429]

C gets my vote! ❤️ Love all the projects!

[@pamelabarrett7645]

I enjoy your DIYS I have learned a lot and get great ideas. Where did you get the things you have on your tube of glue to roll up the tube from the bottom.

[@jenniferlumbra3853]

Option A is my favorite for Sam’s feature wall. Holly from Hot Humble Pie uses shims frequently on her channel. She is very talented just like you! 👍🏻 Not that I go out much, but I also “hide” from people I know when I’m out and I’m not put together. Covid has made me lazy about doing my makeup and hair because it’s easy to hide behind a mask. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sarareier9381]

I vote for C. Also, those bloopers at the end are Epic! I love seeing the realness of what happens on the backend of putting these videos together.

[@egirl1276]

A

[@jolianeperkins7191]

Feature wall "A ". Its a manly wall. So cool. By the way I loved the Shem Trees.👏

[@valeriekammerer4157]

You're so kind to let strangers pick the fate of your room! All are great choices! My 8 year old daughter and I both pick "C". Happy Mother's Day!

[@tammyjackson9858]

A & C looks great. A looks like something for a boy and its fun.

Hello Courtney, just wanted to say that you are a hoot, so much fun to watch your videos, haven't watched any for the last 6 months, because I have been in a difficult place,I lost my husband to cancer,and sold our house,lots of changes.Your videos are always fun to watch, and you have so many creative ideas.Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.It certainly has helped me heal.Carla aka Pete. ( A nick name my father gave me many moons ago.)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your message got tied up in my held for review. I can only imagine how hard of an adjustment that might be. I am so glad that you enjoy my videos and that they bring a little sunshine to your day. ❤️

[@amyaston3512]

I definitely think “A” would look nice for him!

[@lovingmymcmahon3382]

Same.. I think the other 2 are gorgeous, but “a” is the best one for a boy’s room and it will still work after he grows up.

[@vikihammond513]

For the wall, they're all pretty. I pick A. For a boy or a youn man.

[@thepurplepixie8886]

Love these shim projects! Especially since I accidentally bought some thinking they were paint stir sticks. lol. Now I have ideas on how to use them. TYFS. Sam sure is a lucky little man! I vote C for his wall because I think it's style will stand the test of time. Hope you are having a happy and blessed Mother's Day!

[@lelanidixon7941]

I like A for the feature wall. Liked your shim projects. My favorites were the trees, the candle wrapped with the shims, and the "sweet" and "unsweet" tags.

[@sewpretty13]

Love the humor! Also the humor in the comments!!! I do love A for his feature wall. Seems like it would go well for a young man. It has more interest than C which is a lot of straight lines and not as busy as B.
