  • I found these beautiful hydrangeas at Costco for $8.00. At the checkout the lady told me to make sure I put them in ice cold water. This intrigued me because I always thought that warm water was best for flowers. 6
  • First I cut the off the ends of the stems, making sure the cut was on a slant. Hydrangea stems are quite tough, so they need to be poked with something sharp to help with the water up-take. 2
  • I did a little research to find more tips on how to care for them and was rewarded with beautiful fluffy flowers that lasted for days and days!

I want to make a water fountain! Inspiration and a plea for...help?

When I was down south, I spotted this wine bottle water fountain. I took a quick picture, asked the owner where he found it, when he proudly replied, "I made it!" ...»

Well, I thought his idea was genius! And while wine bottles aren't quite my thing, rusty junk is.

So I'm on the lookout for water feature material. And for added inspiration, here are a few of my favourite water features I found right on HomeTalk!

And I'd LOVE your advice. Do you have any tips that could help with a newbie water feature maker such as I? Any cool kits to try?

Blue chandelier Redo

I bought this chandelier at a yard sale this summer. It was was way to brassy and dated. I spray painted it Valspars Tropical Oasis and I cleaned up the crystals. It took me two days to ...»
put it back together because I asked my husband to take a before picture and he forgot. There were seven different sizes of crystals and it took forever to figure out. I planned on selling it but once it was completed I loved it. It is hanging in my kitchen now.

  • Look at that shine! Who knew toothpaste could do this?
  • I like to use toothpaste (I've used the "gel" kind also) and a toothbrush, but a soft cloth works well too.
  • Here's a before and after with two candle sticks.
  • My silver started out with a lot of tarnish!

  • Slice the pool noodle into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices, doesn't have to be precise.
  • Attach to string of lights with wire or fishing line. These will be attached to our patio umbrella when I'm sure the wasps that built a nest on it are dead.
