  • Isn't this edge pretty? Trust me, this is very easy to do. All you need are three tools you likely already have on hand. 6
  • This was the before. Does this look more like what you have in your own yard? Let's fix this right up!
  • This is a simple half moon edger. Make a nice fresh cut along the grass part of your edges in a nice smooth arc.

    dirt by the cut and scoop it away from the cut, heaping it to the other side.

    After the soil is cut, take some hand clippers (trimmers??) and snip along the tops AND on the dirt side of the cut. You can use a weed wacker if desired, but I find doing it by hand gives you a much crisper look. Kinda like a good haircut vs a chewed up one. LOL

    I think I'll do a video tutorial of this one day, it would be easier to explain. Also, ensure you visit the original post for more info too!

  • This quirky, double wide sized pallet wood chair is all decked out, ready for a great summer read. 1
  • Two pallets, 4 legs and two armrest boards are really all it took. So easy! The trick is to ensure you find two pallets that are similar in size.
  • Let's add more quirk to make it totally yours! This signboard was used as an armrest. Note how wide the board is... perfect for my coffee cup. Priorities here...

  • Drill: My little 14v Makita cordless drill is my alltime favourite. It's a smaller scale drill that REALLY packs a big punch. It fits a woman's hand like a glove, losing the bulk. I recommend the 2 pack kits with the chuck / chuckless. 3

  • Palm sander: I have both a clamp on style and orbital. I admit to loving the clamp on motion better, but love the ease of the velcro attachments on the orbital. Which is your preference? 1

  • This chandelier looks complicated, but that couldn't be further from the truth! 3
  • Starting with a thrift store chandy, I sprayed it white, then gathered up grapevines and willow tree branches, both while still green.
  • The twigs and branches were attached with twine in all the right places. (more attaching tips are avail)

  • My blog office! Which was once the dining room. I knew the dining room needed to go when I ended up dusting it weekly rather than using it. Now I use the space 'too much!' :)
  • The build couldn't have been easier. Sawhorses for the legs and an old ladder for the frame was a great start.
  • For the top, I painted out the pallet boards with some signage so the top would look like it was randomly pieced together even moreso.

  • This little junk styled coffee table is the perfect fit for our living room.
  • This pallet had straight nails so it was a breeze to take apart with a hammer and crowbar. The wood then received a good sanding and dry fit after the pieces were cut.
  • The entire build was mounted with screws, starting with predrilled holes. Trust me when I say, predrilling holes is the answer to an effortless build.

  • Hydrangeas can look like this all year around. I love using them because their blooms are so abundant and quickly brighten up spaces.
  • The best time to harvest is in the fall when the petals start to get slightly crispy. You want some of the moisture content diminished for this to work best.
  • And here's the secret. Set your blooms in water, and leave them be until the water is evaporated. The flowers will then be dried out. The water keeps the petals in their original shape.
