Miss Mustard Seed boxwood stool

I have been dying to try out the milk paint line from Miss Mustard Seed and chose boxwood as my first test dummy. I redid a stool in our living room and love how it turned out.

DIY Botanical art

With spring still resisting us here in Ontario, my "green" thumb is itching for action.

I decided to create some botanical art for our home.

See the tutorial on my blog page.

My $50 Thrift Store Dresser Makeover

I found this old, beaten up, wood-tone dresser at a local thrift store for only $50! I could immediately see the potential in it, so I brought it home and gave it a makeover! I used satin ...»
ivory paint on the outside with a wax topcoat. To get rid of the old, musty smell, I even painted the insides of each drawer a soft green called 'Ocean Pearl'. Then, I added a lovely mirror I found at a local salvage store to really take it up a notch! As time went on, I changed our master bedroom's decor a bit and changed the accessories near the dresser to silver, so I spray painted the handles black. I've loved both looks, and love that this dresser is so versatile! It's truly become one of my favorite pieces!

Spring mantel decor with wishful thinking

It's time to put away the pinecones and furs and whip out the hopping rabbits. Spring is just around the corner.

  • This simple trick should clear up most murky little ponds within hours.
  • You need polyester quilt batting (used for making bed quilts).
  • Get a wire basket (this is a garbage basket from the dollar store). It has to be bigger than your pond pump.
  • Cut out the quilt batting and wrap it around the outside of the wire basket.
  • Insert the pond pump.
  • Secure the batting in place with a bungee cord. 
Submerge the entire unit in the pond.
  • The quilt batting on the outside of the basket filters the water before it goes through the pump.
  • You'll be able to see your fish again! 2
  • And the plants will thrive.

Easy Trick For A Sparkling Clean Pond

If you have struggled to keep the water in your little pond sparkling clear, this may be the trick you've been looking for. I have tried this on several different garden ponds, ranging in ...»
size from 450 to 1200 gallons, and it has worked every time. Murky water clears within a day or two (most clear within hours), and then stays clear for months.
