  • I started by removing the covers and washing them.
  • I labeled the "fluff" taken from the back cushions so I wouldn't get confused when it was time to re-stuff.
  • I used this quilt batting ($9.99 at Walmart) to beef up the cushions.
  • I simply trimmed the batting and wrapped it around the bottom cushions to boost their fluff-ability. Yep. That's the technical term. ;)
  • I put the covers back on the new beefed-up cushions and now my couch looks as good as new.

  • Add color in your decor with accessories.  I love blue and green for the Spring and Summer months.
  • A mirror is a great way to bring in sparkle and shine, adding dimension to the room.
  • Pillows are a great way to add texture and pattern to a room.  Changing them out for the seasons keeps your room looking fresh.
  • An accent wall acts as a piece of art, adding interest and color  to an otherwise beige room.

  • Using easily found items and created items, I was able to create a fairy garden - a great project with my children.
  • Fairy gardens can be in any size and can be customized for a thoughtful gift.
  • Although ready made items can be found online or in garden centers, we chose to make as many of the elements as we could.

Fairy Garden

A fun and quick project that is great to do with your kids. We did this last spring and we keep updating it for the seasons. We tried to "think out of the box" in terms of the house and furniture to come with fun options.

  • 1. Find an old kitchen colander or metal lamp shade - you'll want holes in it for attaching the wires.
2. Use 16 gauge wire. Wrap around marbles and hang old lamp crystals (fake is fine!) on the ends.
3. Glue on flat-bottom marbles. 1

Make A Repurposed Garden Chandelier

This garden chandelier is true shabby chic, combining old and elegant to add bling to your garden . It's also my oldest and favourite garden art piece. ...»

It's easy to make.

1. Find an old metal kitchen colander (or metal lamp shade). You want something with holes in it (or you can use a metal drill bit and drill them).

2. Using 16 gauge wire, wrap around marbles and hang crystals from the ends. You could thread transparent beads onto the wire. Pick colours you love.

3. Attach flat-bottom marbles or other decorations on the colander using clear-drying outdoor silicone sealant.

4. Add wire to the top and hang the chandelier outdoors.

TIP: I find crystals at stores like Habitat For Humanity. Check old light fixtures. Lots of the ugly ones from the 1970s and 80s actually have good faux crystals on them. You can also use many of the other lamp parts for more garden art projects.
