Rock Collection- From A Soup Can

I repurposed a couple of old soup can to give my son a place to store the rocks he brings into the house. Super easy and it didn't cost me a dime! I used what I had on hand.

A pallet destined for the landfill is repurposed to make a wine rack. This was my first pallet project and I'm thrilled with the result. #BeforeandAfter

Another great way to recycle pallets by turning them into a planter.

I have two of these on my deck that help to splash the area with color for the season. Remember to drill holes into the planter boxes for drainage.

  • Our patio went from boring to inviting!
  • This is what our patio looked like after we pulled off the tape. It make a huge difference in this space.
  • We power washed the cement and than filled in the cracks with cement filler.
  • After the cracks were all filled and dried we then primed the patio with mold resistant primer.
  • After the primer dried we painted the patio porch and floor oil paint.This will be the color of the painted lines.
  • After the base color dried we taped off the patio before putting on the final paint color.
  • We painted with the red color over the cream and tape. Once the paint dried we pulled off the tape to create the lines for the tiles.

Do Your towels stink??

Can I ask a personal question? Do your towels stink? Over time fabric softener and detergent build up on your towels. It happens to the best of us. I noticed mine were smelling not so fresh a few weeks ago. Instead of tossing them and buying all new towels, I decided to try to freshen them up first. I like this because it uses house hold items you probably already have.

Here is my blog post on how i solved my problem of stinky ...»

Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley, WA

Last Saturday, we went up to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. It's been a few years since we've been up there and since it was the last weekend of the festival, we wanted to take ...»
advantage of it before another year passed. The tulips were just gorgeous! There are so many varieties and colors and I love all of them, but I think my favorites are still the classic red tulips and yellow tulips. They're just so happy. It inspires me to plant tulip bulbs this fall.

It was hard for me to narrow down which pictures to post - I must have taken 100 photos! These are just a few of my favorites. You can see more beautiful tulips pics (and 1 corny one) on the blog at http://www.lilikoijoy.com/2013/05/photo-frid.... Warning: Flowers in the images are as riotous as they appear. Enjoy the tulips!
