  • My pallet garden privacy screen 6

From Pallet to Privacy Screen Planter!

I wanted a little privacy screen on my deck and decided a pallet would be the perfect (and free!) solution! To freshen it up, I painted the pallet a cheery yellow and filled it with summer flowers and vines! Now it doubles as a garden and provides just the privacy I needed! It was an easy DIY project, you can find the how to details at The Inspired Room http://theinspiredroom.net/2012/05/28/the-pa...

Twig Ornaments: Free! Made from sticks that I found in the yard.

I gathered some tree twigs that had blown down in a recent wind storm and, using nothing but a sharp pair of pruners, some hot glue and a little glitter, made cute ornaments for my tree. ...»
