Small Changes in the Entryway

I tend to be so unorganized in the winter, leaving things wherever they lay. Such was the case with the buffet in the foyer. It had become a dumping ground ever since I left it un-styled ...»
after the holidays. Now it's pretty and fresh again, waiting for spring to arrive.

  • This pic was taken in October last year -- after a hot Summer.  Ferns as large and lush as ever.  Yours can be, too!  Check out my blog link for more step-by-step pics. 2

  • Look for bone china tea cups at your local thrift shops. Many times they are thrown away if a saucer is missing. 2
  • Use just a tiny bit of soil in bottom of cup.
  • Add your Viola plant.
  • Firm the soil with your fingers.
  • I love the finished tea cup! 4

Great idea for Mothers day gift! Kids love making these.

Did you know that often a thrift shop throws away old tea cups if they are missing a saucer? This is how we recycle them .

  • 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!

DIY Woven Headboard from Vertical Blinds!

When you get rid of those nasty vertical blinds, don't just throw them out. Repurpose them! You can make an over-sized headboard for MUCH less than it would cost to buy one.
