  • For budget reasons the counter stayed the same but a new faucet gave it a fresh look.
  • A simple burlap skirt gathered on a tension rod lightens the space without the commitment of painting the cabinetry.
  • I like to use regular window curtains instead of a shower curtain.
  • A simple change like an oiled bronze handle on the toilet gives it an updated look.

French Country Bathroom Makeover

Our downstairs bathroom has come a long way! From dated and boring to updated with a touch of French Country charm. Damask wallpaper, a burlap vanity skirt, bead board, new faucet, ...»
mirror, light fixture and more! And all done without breaking the bank. Even something as simple as changing out the handle on the toilet can give big impact. I hope you enjoy taking the tour of my French Country Bathroom! Or is it Country French? ~Vanessa

Make your own Potting Mix

I rarely buy bags of potting soil from the garden center...I just make my own using a few simple ingredients. #garden #composting ...»

Start with compost, add peat, perlite and fertilizer and mix well.

You can buy a big bale of compressed peat and large bag of perlite, depending on how much you need, these could last you quite a few seasons.

The fertilizer could be a slow release formula or a generic all purpose. I add more fertilizer depending on application ( hanging baskets for instance would get a handful more at planting time.

I just get in there with my garden gloved hands and give it a good mixing pulling out any large pieces that need more time to cook in the compost.

Your ratio should be about:

Compost= 60%

Peat= 30%

Perlite=10%

+ a few handfuls or more of fertilizer pending on size of mix.
