About Me:

I am a ballet teacher and soon to be (hopefully) yoga instructor. I have been a crafter all my life. My first memories of crafting are of Christmas ornaments with my mom. I live in a 104 year old home that my husband has redone the majority of himself.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Decorating inside or out.

Concrete Garden Path

We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.

Pallet garden loungers

Garden furniture can be very expensive and here's a simple idea on how to make free or almost free garden loungers using simple pallets. ...»

I used 5 pallets and some wood scraps to make these two and that part was free. If you want to paint or add cushions (recommended!) that will be extra but all in all this cost me $10 for the red paint and that's it!

The basic idea of how to make these is to take two pallets of the same rectangular shape and stack them on top of each other, do the same with the second lounge chair. Then take the last pallet, divide it in half and add some wood scraps to construct two backrests that you attach to the stacked pallets with two screws. Minimal sanding and some paint and you're done.

I must warn you that the idea is simple but deconstructing the 5th pallet is pretty hard physical work but can be made easier if you have the proper tools and/or a muscular guy to help :)

Check out my blog for more photos and detailed instructions on how I went about it:

My garden cupola

A friend brought over some old windows knowing that I would do something fun with them. The outcome? This fun large garden cupola over my septic tank! The roof is plastic ceiling tiles.

Repurposed Crib into a Crib Bench

I had my sons old crib and decided to make it into a rustic bench.I had no plans just an idea in my head. So I framed it up and laid some boards all around and lots of nails and screws and lastly made some homemade chalk paint. once dry I then gave it a couple coats of wax.You can see more of this at http://simplysimplisticated4.blogspot.com
