Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.

  • By letting the child choose a street name or location that goes with their name, it adds a personal touch
  • Choosing a fun bright exterior colored paint allows for a long lasting project so that the kids can see it and remember this fun project for years to come.
  • By turning each sign a different direction and placed crooked, the sign looks old and well loved. A Whimsical touch is always fun.

  • Once the swing was put together, we added chains and hung it from the porch awning.  I painted it two coats of Annie Sloan's Duck Egg.

Back Porch Headboard Swing

I couldn't wait to have a swing of my own on our back porch. When I told my husband we needed to use one of the three headboards stored in the garage, he looked at me a little funny. ...»
