A DIY house number sign including a flower box that myself & my husband came up with.

  • We built 4 raised beds in our North garden this year.
  • The South garden is on a hill, so we terraced the raised beds. 1
  • We built  cages for our tomatoes so that critters wouldn't get the harvest. 1

Raised Bed Gardening

Our lot is mostly wooded, but we found two strips in the yard where we could add raised beds to plant a vegetable garden. You can see more about the raised beds at: http://diydesignfanatic.blogspot.com/2012/04...

Make An Old Crib Into a Drying Rack!

When your last child moves to a "big kid" bed, repurpose the crib into a Ballard-inspired drying rack for just a few dollars. Here's how: http://alwayssomethinghome.blogspot.com/201...

  • My project

Gardening: What color should I paint this wood project?

I am really curious, I am soon to be an interior designer, I am actually not that good with colors for outdoor, only inside.

My house is light blue and little bit of white.

Should I add something opposite of the color to make it noticeable or should I add something darker? I was afraid if I do white, you would totally see dirt on it when I watered it. Any Suggestions? I am excited to hear from you!

  • This is my "totem".  I've had it outdoors for several years now. It's held up really well except for the "ladder" incident last fall while a helpful neighbor was helping me clean out the gutters. 10
  • These are the tools you'll need. I use GE II Silicone for Windows and Doors (clear) with a caulk gun.
A level will come in handy to make sure your totem doesn't lean. 4
  • Wash and dry (thoroughly) your glassware. I suggest you let your vases and such dry overnight. If you have ANY moisture inside, it will be sealed inside once you apply your sealant.
  • apply your silicone to one of your pieces, then add your next piece to it.
  • remove the excess silicone with your finger or a paper towel. 
*tip*  I generally glue two pieces together, while gluing another two pieces together.  After those four pieces set up overnight, then I glue the two (or 3) sets together.
  • *tip*  to keep water from standing in your plates, turn them upside down.  I like to separate my large vases and such with clear plates. A microwave plate makes a great base piece. 3
  • You can use a plate on top right side up to make a bird feeder or a birdbath. 6
