  • Build a simple firepit with pavers and a firebowl. We got our firebowl from Lowe's for less than $80.
  • Stack pavers on level ground. We put ours on our concrete patio.
  • For a 35" firebowl we used 48 pavers and stacked them 4 layers high.

  • This is my "totem".  I've had it outdoors for several years now. It's held up really well except for the "ladder" incident last fall while a helpful neighbor was helping me clean out the gutters. 10
  • These are the tools you'll need. I use GE II Silicone for Windows and Doors (clear) with a caulk gun.
A level will come in handy to make sure your totem doesn't lean. 4
  • Wash and dry (thoroughly) your glassware. I suggest you let your vases and such dry overnight. If you have ANY moisture inside, it will be sealed inside once you apply your sealant.

  • 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.

  • To me, the picking an attractive floral container sets the tone of the whole arrangement.
  • The cabbages have antique lettering on the leaves.  I found them at the local craft store.
  • I used "burnt umber" to antique the eggs. The photo is really close up, the egg actually looks better far away.
