How to hide a protruding object

Step by step directions using a old frame and hardware to conceal a protruding object on the wall. (We converted part of our garage into a office/mudroom so we decided to hide the garage door opener since we don't use it)

Itching for Spring Plant ID Contest!

So I am #itchingforspring #PlantID! Here are the rules. Guess all 10 ...»
correctly and you will be in a random drawing (10 winners!) for 10 mystery seeds each to be sent to you by me. Come get your #gardening game on! Of course i expect pictures of your growing babies to be posted here on Hometalk. Contest will run through Sunday noon. You can guess as many times as you like. If a plant gets no correct guesses I will give some pretty blatant hints. Some of these pictures you have already seen here and 'may' already be ID somewhere else on Hometalk #plantid.....happy hunting! PS- common names or botanical will be fine. Please put your guesses on the post and not on the pictures so I can keep up!

A little walkway out of pallet boards

This quick little project really couldn't be easier! Reclaimed pallet boards were used to create a new walkway through a flower bed. The planks make it an absolute dream to weed by simply ...»
lifting the applicable board, and are just high enough to clear any water run off. And yes, they are staying in place and have shown no rot in over 3 years thus far.

  • This bench is perfect for our table, but the plan is fully customizable to fit yours!
  • It's fun, colorful, and oh, so comfy! 1
  • The frame is made out of simple 2x4, 2x6, and off the shelf lumber construction. CHEAP and EASY!
  • The rear frame comes together quickly.
  • The seat frame has a nice angle to add style and comfort. I rebuilt the front legs to fully incorporate them  into the frame to make them extra sturdy.
  • Corner bracing keeps your frame square.
  • I used elastic webbing to make the seat base. This is the real deal, no stiff boards here! It's all about comfort!
  • A simple plywood piece to back the frame gives me a base for the back cushion.
  • Tracing the pattern on to the foam insures a nice fit.
  • This foam cuts SO easily with a jigsaw. SCORE for finding another use for my little saw!
  • a little spray adhesive to make things stick...
  • ...and the back cushion is almost there!
  • Seat foam is cut and fitted.
  • I found an excellent "tool" to cut through the foam.
  • I'm cutting out channels for the button holes. This towel bar chewed through 3" foam like a dream.
  • A little trimmng around each hole for a plush tuft.
  • Kind of looks like Swiss cheese.
  • Now It's "Time to make the doughnuts!" Adding a plush layer of fiberfill stuffing make s all the difference for a nice  pillowy tuft vs. a flat board with buttons.
  • A double layer of quilt batting followed by my upholstery fabric...
  • ...and it's time to tuft! Start at the center row, and center button of your back cushion and work your way out. Fold the creases as you go and keep things looking neat.
  • This bench has sentimental value as well. The buttons I used were from my grandmother's collection.
  • The threads are tied n the back using buttons to keep them in place. Lots of knots insure nothing gets loose.
  • All of the edges get folded to the back and stapled to the frame.
  • Take your time on the corners to ensure even pleats. Staple, staple, and staple some more.
  • Carefully fold the fabric around the legs and staple in place.
  • View from the side shows a nice, even upper corner.
  • Clamp and bolt the seat frame to the back. Almost there!
  • A backing piece is measured and cut. Batting and fabric are stapled around three sides. The bottom is left to attach to the frame.
  • Once attached to the rear, the bench is finished. Voila!
  • My girls love sitting at their bench for homeschool! Check out my blog for all the details of this build.

Laundry Room Pedestals

We saved over $400 by building our own pedestals for our washer and dryer. We spent a little more money in order to include the drawers/storage space. Love 'em!
