  • This horse gate was found in a neighbour's trailer, bound for the burn pile. Attaching a few hooks, it's now my headboard. 2
  • Not being able to afford to carpet my stairs, I painted them up instead, creating stencils out of decals with my signmaking equipment. http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2010/04/paint-ed-wooden-crate-stairs-for-so-you.html 10
  • Desiring something other than traditional window treatments, these old gate screens were created on top of existing room dividers. http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2010/04/wood-gate-screens-for-so-you-think-wk-7.html 2

  • Even with no experience in mosaics or tiling, our bird bath face lift turned out just as I had hoped. Now I'm thinking about all the other things I could do...gazing balls, garden stakes, water fountains, etc. The sky's the limit! 6
  • This is what we started with. Our birdbath had taken a tumble shortly after we got it, and stayed in pieces for three years until recently when my husband glued them back together with some clear silicone.
  • After that, I used J-B WaterWeld to seal the  cracks and make it water-tight again. It's my go-to method for repairing things that will be wet or underwater. It's also drinking water safe, so you don't have to worry about its toxicity.

Glass Flower Garden Art

These are super easy to make. Just find a few new or old plates and stack with glue. I used plain glass paints and then painted them with glass paint. They make a great statement in your landscape.
