  • I added a bit of fun to my screen porch with an easy outdoor porch light!
  • I used 2 large & 3 medium grapevine balls. Two strands of white lights (50 count) with brown wires make these little orbs glow-a birch branch holds the lights and burlap ribbon hold up the branch!
  • I threaded the lights into the balls and tied them in place with garden twine to make sure the glow was uniform...
  • It's easy to get the lights inside the grapevine by gently moving the tiny vines apart.
  • Balancing a birch branch between 2 chairs, I played around with the placement of the balls (which are attached with twine) until I liked the look...
  • I ran the cord up the twine and connected it to a white extension cord that I hid between one of the loops of burlap ribbon which holds the branch. (the other end of the burlap ribbon is attached to the ceiling w/ eye hooks)
  • The light makes such a nice glow and doesn't obstruct our view during the day! 1

How to Utilize 3 inches of Space

My canned items were getting lost in a deep, floor to ceiling cupboard. At the top of the basement stairs landing I saw that there was three inches of space where the door jamb met the ...»
wall. I asked my husband to frame it in and put the space to use. I can see everything at a glance and was surprised to learn how many jars of some things I had lost to the back of the cupboard. I wouldn't intentionally stock 9 jars of salsa and 8 containers of mustard.

  • Be sure to remove chalk
  • Use a flat or satin (low-lustre) finish if siding is dented

CAN ALUMINUM SIDING BE PAINTED?

Q: My house has aluminum siding. It is really worn and faded. Can aluminum siding be painted or should I think about replacing it? ...»

A: This is a GREAT home repair question. No need to replace it. You can paint your aluminum siding. Aluminum will last forever. Paint left on any surface will oxidize over time.You just don't see it on wood because the paint peels before it oxidizes. The cure for the siding is to power wash the oxidized paint off as much as possible.Sometimes brushing it off as well. Then simply paint two coats then you are good for another 25 years. I recommend a satin finish to restore the metallic look.

Stenciled Washer & Dryer

Since I can't afford a new fancy Washer & Dryer for my Laundry Room, instead I decided to give a little makeover to my old set using a stencil from Royal Design Studio. ...»

I centered the thick plastic stencil on the front of my dryer and stuck it in place with some painter's tape. I then used a little cabinet and trim roller to apply my paint. Finish it off with a coat of clear polyurethane and the makeover is complete!

My Tire Ottoman is On a Roll!

Hi Everybody! Man, what a whirlwind this has been since I posted my tire ottoman idea. I know the power of Social Media, but wow! For those who have suggested and asked, yes, I have considered and have decided that I will be marketing my ottoman. Hopefully I haven't hurt the possibility of sales by sharing all the down and dirty how-to details with everyone. But, hey, generosity can only be rewarded, right? For all you DIYers, I know you can make your own, but for those not so ...»
inclined, I'll have tire ottomans for sale soon--and of course for much less than my inspiration ottoman! Yay for recycling! Go Earth!

Repurposing a vintage sewing bench into a blanket storage footstool.

I found an old (1960's?) sewing bench at the flea market and knowing that my husband really needed a footstool since he can't tolerate his recliner anymore; I decided to rebuild the bench ...»
