DIY House Number Sign Tutorial

As you can see from the before picture we needed a structure in this garden. We decided on this project and it was fairly easy to make and around 75.00. You can see a detailed tutorial on my blog.

Dumpster Dresser to Industrial Entertainment Center

My husband and I just finished a fantastic furniture flip on an old dresser we found in a dumpster full of furniture. It was a lot of work, but we couldn't be happier with the results! You can see the total transformation on our blog.

Metal Galvanized Tub Turned Mini Flower Garden

It is so much fun to step out of the box. You may have seen my post with the other metal tub I did. I had another metal tub so I decided to do another one. Very easy and lots of fun! All ...»
you need is to drill some small holes in the bottom for drainage. Put your dirt in and plant your flowers...You can step out of the box and place a yard solar light in it. You can also take some lawn decorations and place in it. I used a Fairy figurine I already had. It also gives it an added touch to stencil any kind of words or sayings you may like in the front of the tub!

Decoupaged Vintage Apothecary Label Jars

I love how versatile Mod Podge is. I've used it on metal, wood and plastic, but never on glass...until now. I found some printable labels and made these vintage-looking apothecary jars ...»

  • Aqua glass tile with subway, sheet tile.

Easy Inexpensive Subway Tile

We installed beveled subway tile on sheets in our bathroom. It is a fairly easy tile job, but more labor intensive than the slate tile floor I posted. ...»

We had to install and tape the cement board. That was fairly easy. Measure and cut with a utility knife, tape, and screw on.

We arranged the tile on the floor to plan the pattern. I lined up the pattern with the bead-board plank wall.

We started in the corner because of the window.

We rented a wet-saw from Home Depot, but we waited until we had to make the cuts, so we only had to rent it for one day. The saw worked well, but not on small cuts; tiles shattered. So we then purchase da ten dollar tile cutter for the smallest pieces.

Tip 1!!!! The mastix has to be white when one installs glass tile otherwise its true color won't show.

Tip 2!!! A big sponge and a large bucket is great for washing off the grout.

Once the grout has dried for a couple of days, seal it. The water will bead on the tile and it will stay nice for a long time! Reseal every six months or when you notice that the water is no longer beading.

  • Use broken shovel handles as stems and enjoy the flowers as yard art. 2
  • Clean hubcaps with some and water, lightly sand to paint will adhere.
  • Spray paint hubcaps in fun colors. Use things you have to add interest (spray a plastic lid for the center of a flower, use tongue depressors for a design)

Hubcap Flower Yard Art

All you need to make some fun, inexpensive yard art are some roadside hubcaps, spray paint and little creativity. ...»

Steps:

1. Clean off hubcaps with soap and water, then lightly sand.

2. Spray paint each hubcap in a bright color.

3. Use things you already have to add stems (sticks, shovel handles), leaves and more details to the flowers.

4. Assemble the flowers and add them to your yard.

  • So easy to do this!  You don't even need elbow grease! http://www.thevspotblog.com/2011/07/cleaning-stove-burners-grates-best.html
  • Ick!  (I cook a lot... don't you judge me.)  ;)
  • Take the disgusting, yucky burner and seal it up in a big Ziploc-type bag with about 1/4 cup of ammonia and let it sit overnight.
  • The same burner, 12 hours and no scrubbing later.  Ammonia fumes have worked their magic. It's the fumes that dissolve the grease, not the ammonia itself.

An easy spring cleaning tip for one of the worst jobs in the house!

My stove burners get absolutely disgusting. Sealing them up with a tiny bit of pure ammonia makes it possible to just wipe clean with a sponge. #SpringCleaning http://www.thevspotblog.com/2011/07/cleaning...
