  • The baby pumpkin wall sconce, up close. 1

My back porch...ready for Fall...

I found a black metal candle sconce at the thrift a couple months ago. Sprayed it with Rustoleum Hammered Bronze and then added baby pumpkins and bittersweet vine.

Tipsy bucket tower.

I've seen a lot of these towers (and made them for others) out of clay pots, but decided to make mine out of old buckets and a tub. ...»

HOW IT'S MADE: Cut a piece of rebar the height of your tower plus 12 to 18 inches. Drill offset holes just larger than your rebar in your buckets near the sides. Drill a hole in the center of the bottom tub. Pound a piece of rebar in the ground and thread your buckets over it balancing the buckets on the edges. Be sure and pound the rebar in far enough to hide it with the top bucket and plants. You can pond it in a bit more once your buckets are placed. Place a terra cotta pot upside down in the tub for the bottom bucket to rest on so it doesn't sink into the soil in the tub. Fill the bottoms of each bucket with peanut packing for drainage and to make them lighter. Plant with wave petunias, asparagus fern, vinca and other trailing plants. Watering tip: Water slowly so the soil doesn't wash out of the tilted buckets so your soil doesn't wash out.

  • This basement office now has a beautiful view of a small waterfall. Open the window to enjoy the sound! 3
  • Creative use of rock provides inspiring scenery. 1
  • Isn't this view much better than the ordinary corrugated piece of metal you typically see out a basement window?
  • A mix of plants and rock was used to provide a fantastic view.
  • Cleaning the windows becomes more enjoyable, too. No more stooping into a spider-ridden window well.

  • Stone leftover from another project and three galvanized trash can lids become a bird bath grouping! Another of my "use what you have" ventures! More pictures and directions at http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com 3
  • Start by building a base. Add one level at a time while keeping it fairly level. This takes a few tries to keep it level and sturdy. 1
  • When the stacked stone is the height desired, add the galvanized lid. One down and two more to go!
  • The lids I had were different sizes so I made the bases larger or smaller to fit the lid. Also vary the heights to add interest.
  • Here's the tallest one filled and ready for customers!
  • Save out some stone to put in the top of each lid as a landing place for birds, to keep the lid in place if a larger bird or squirrel comes calling and for looks!

Pots of jasmine put on each side have begun to trail up and wind their way around the lattice and hanging lanterns with an S hook (and battery operated candles) give off a soft glow on a warm Summer evening.Thanks for stopping by! ~Vanessa #PorchPride
