Fairy Garden

This is my first attempt at a fairy garden. I think it still needs something. I'll have to give it some time to come to me. Can't wait to make more from ideas on other clips.

  • 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... 1

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!
  • 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

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!

  • This is an easy to make yard decoration that sparkles in the sunlight
  • These are the Plastic Mirror Stars, found at Michaels, that inspired the project
  • 3 different sized Terracotta pots
  • Base coat the pots, inside & out, with white acrylic paint to ensure that the paint color used is true
  • 2 coats of paint, inside & out, on each pot
  • Spray with 2 light coats of Krylon clear coat so that the 'chime' can be used outdoors.
  • Using Kwik Seal Clear Caulk to 'glue' on rhinestone stars makes them hold up to summer showers
  • Use nylon cord, tri-beads, & wooden beads to space the 3 pots
  • Tie the cord to an 'S' hook to hang outside

Plumbing Material Succulent Garden

Sometimes when roaming through the hardware store aisles, I get strange looks. Because I end up buying a whole group of galvanized plumbing caps - as planters for a succulent garden.

Gardening: Best LOW-LIGHT indoor plants??

I need some suggestions regarding some larger low-light indoor plants. I seem to be able to find plenty of indoor plants that require a good bit of light, but not very many low-light. So far, I have only purchased a Chinese Evergreen. Which ones have you all had the best luck with/your favorites etc? Thanks ahead of time!

    when shopping for low light plants. Look for the dark green plants as they require less light than light green and variegated plants.

    Just a reminder, not all flowers are edible! Some flowers that smell lovely, are quite poisonous.
