Our Fairfield Home and Garden has had a great year! Here are the 2014 top 10 projects, and I have lots more up my sleeve for 2015!
Our three kitties got their own little screened porch this summer! Connected to the laundry room, they have access through a window and can come and go as they please. They love it! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
When a neighbor gave me 32 shutters, I made a new garden! Come see what you can do with someone else's junk! (see link for directions at the end of this post)
You don't need a lot of carpentry skills to construct raised garden beds that are easier on the back and great for areas with poor soil, rocks, etc. (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
This recipe is a family favorite! It makes up a ton and no cookie cutters or rolling pins are necessary! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
Take a little trip to the Dollar Store for all you'll need to make some unique garden accents! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
An old bowling ball, Dollar Store glass "gems", glue and your'e in business to creat a fun garden accent! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
A sweet ornament that can be made up very easily using leftovers from your sewing basket! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
A few wood scraps, a little hardware and Goodwill clothes are the essentials for this pretty garden lady to grace your flowerbeds! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
Spring-blooming bulbs and plants, a basket and terra cotta pots make a colorful spring windowbox. After they finish blooming, plant everything in your flowerbeds to enjoy for years! (see the link for directions at the end of this post)
This post was a gathering of birdbaths I have made for our garden. You can upcycle many materials to make inexpensive, wonderful birdbaths that will draw birds to your garden. (see the link for directions at the end of this post)

Douglas Hunt on Jan 03, 2015What a happy look back, Barb. I had forgotten how very handsome those raised beds you created were. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with in 2015.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have an enclosed porch on both sides of of the house (3 sides) that have metal louvers that open for ventilation..For some reason the birds like to come on the porch and try to make nests and we cannot sit out there.. Tried owls, moth balls, screened off the corner of the porch where they nest but they still try to get under the screen. CAN YOU HELP!
