Yard Art
I made a "Sign Post" of some of the places we've been lucky enough to visit. I used scrap wood and painted (with craft paint), the destination and miles from our home and screwed them into an old post we already had. I love the Caribbean colors and it makes me smile, remembering the fun we had on each trip!!! :D

Hula Hoop Chandelier
This is my Hula Hoop Chandelier. The arbor on the back patio was blocking the house light from above and it always seemed dark. But, not anymore!

Painting: Help Update My 70's Fireplace!
Our fireplace is brick and the light orange color is awful! I tweeted Drew and Jonathan Scott of the Property Brothers on HGTV and got some great advice!
"Do a darker base coat with faux effects then paint a lighter coat on top and scratch away the corners and edges."
Any other suggestions that are cheap and easy (other than just painting it a flat color?)
BTW, hate the insets, wish it had a mantle, but I ...»

Bathroom Makeover
Mini-bathroom makover. Our small bathroom was long over-due for a makeover. What a dramatic change for the cost of 1 gallon of white paint and 1 quart of black paint. I sewed the shower

Recyle burnt Christmas light bulbs
Looking for something to use up those burnt Christmas bulbs. I made a Christmas name plaque. Paint last name on an old board and decorate. Paint names on light bulbs. Wrap wire around bulbs and hot glue to board. Add hanging wire. Great Christmas gifts!
