  • My budget solution to my screen porch floors ...white washed & distressed.
  • Here are the floors before. When I started my low budget porch makeover I had to have a super cheap way to brighten up the existing floors... 3
  • First I sanded and cleaned the floors. Then using semi-transparent wood stain from The Home Depot, I sprayed on the stain...but I wasn't thrilled. So I took a rag and wiped some of the stain back off... 2
  • Kinda looked like driftwood!
I know some of you won't like this, I understand it's a bit different.  :) 3
  • But I'm happy with the way it turned out and I'm almost finished with the porch makeover! 2
  • A quick look at the table! My friends at Behr Paint suggested I use a soft turquoise called Opal Silk...turned out to be my new favorite color!
Have a great day my friends xo 2

White Washing & Distressing Porch Floor!

I'm doing a makeover on my screen porch and I'm doing it on a shoestring budget! The screen porch was built last year over a part of our existing deck and the floors were less than ...»
pretty. When pricing everything I wanted to do on the porch with almost no money, I decided to stain the floors in a semi-transparent white. When I got the stain on, I wasn't thrilled so I experimented with wiping a little of the stain off to give them a distressed look. Here's what I came up with! This isn't for everybody, some of you guys might not like it-I understand, but I'm happy and I spent only $33.00 at Home Depot for the stain!

  • Need some texture and color for your outdoor table?  Try these easy rope-wrapped and painted terra cotta pots!
  • I started with a simple terra cotta pot!
  • Starting at the top, I used my glue gun to attach the rope.
  • I finished up wrapping the pot with rope.  I snipped the rope off with scissors, and secured it down with hot glue.
  • Using left-over turquoise latex paint from another project and a standard paint brush, I painted the base of this pot.
  • Perfect outdoor centerpiece!

  • I gave the tops of the painter tarps a pocket so I could easily slide the pipe through.I sewed a hem on the bottom of the painter tarps based on the height of the pergola.
  • I spray painted pipes purchased at home depot for a cheap alternative
  • This is how we secured them to the house.
  • We can block the direction of the sun from any direction.  On a side note, I might have added something on the bottom hem to weigh them down so they don't blow when it is windy.

DIY Curtain Rod for Oversize Windows

Window treatments for oversize windows can be very expensive. When I was looking to outfit the 10 foot window in our dining room, I was shocked at how expensive longer curtain rods were, ...»
so I made my own using electrical conduit, spray paint, and some vintage drawer knobs.

  • Simple make over with Krylon's Mirror Glass spray paint. 3-5 coats of paint make for a lovely vintage feel.
  • Bright succulents stand out against the mirrored surfaces of the jars.
  • Fast, simple, and a repurpose for something you might buy weekly!

Spaghetti Jars for the win!

Classico brand jars are rather adorable when you take the labels off! And they come in various sizes: pesto, pizza, alfredo, and marinara sizes.
