What to do with that old piano ....

"There is Music in Water, if You Stop to Listen"

We were looking for something different for our display at our local home show.

We wanted something that would be beautiful and turn peoples heads but it had to fit in what we do and it had to have a message...

We began our search for an old piano shell. We wanted to take an old piano that had lived out its life providing beautiful music and give it a new life... as a ...»

water feature.

We found the perfect piano at our local wholesaler and began the job of removing the guts of the piano and replacing them with an acrylic spillway with LED lights. The end result was a SHOW STOPPER and we received best in show honors in both Shows we displayed this feature at. What do you think?

Coffee table makeover (without paint!)

My mom made over her plain ol' pine coffee table with steel wool. It's way less messy and you don't have to buy stain (or paint)!

    The "ant moat"idea really worked for me. You can find them at garden stores.

Some friends of mine were throwing away some wood from an old deck. So my husband and I snagged the wood and decided to make a bed. It took about an afternoon to build and a couple more ...»

This is another project of mine. A dry pond/creek bed.

I collected rocks from the woods and bought the footbridge on line. I found the neat stork at Lowes. Yes, Lowes is my favorite store. I had the stone delivered and I just layed out how I ...»
wanted it with the large rocks and then just filled it in with the stone and mulched the rest. It was pretty easy actually. I got the daylillies from a friend and the grasses I bought at a market. My little cat I had for 17 years is buried under the St. Francis statue on the left side of the bridge so this spot has special meaning to me.
