  • Before the renovation, which included ripping out that overheard vinyl ceiling and opening up the space.
  • Cleaning...
  • By the way, Home Depot ran out of the promo (since I took them all, lol. But Lowes honored the same deal. Awesome
  • I lucked out and hit a heck of a sale at Home Depot. This little stack was on bottom shelf,very inconspicuous looking & I was sure there must be an error since just 1 dropcloth was the same brand, size & price as two in this pack.
  • Big Lots or Walmart pks of 6 to 8 size according to your mounting rod.
  • After Ceiling removal
  • I was already excited at the difference with removing the old white ceiling.
  • Found this incredible vintage Pottery Barn solid wood sofa w/ all down feathers, for $30 on Craiglist. Woohoo! Replaced covers to match decor,
  • Pin tucked classic
  • My entire inspiraton was to have a sleeping porch. I built the screened porch over 12 years ago, but never thought to add a bed. And pure white vintage linens from my years if collecting were a must,

  • This simple trick should clear up most murky little ponds within hours.
  • You need polyester quilt batting (used for making bed quilts).
  • Get a wire basket (this is a garbage basket from the dollar store). It has to be bigger than your pond pump.
  • Cut out the quilt batting and wrap it around the outside of the wire basket.
  • Insert the pond pump.
  • Secure the batting in place with a bungee cord. 
Submerge the entire unit in the pond.
  • The quilt batting on the outside of the basket filters the water before it goes through the pump.
  • You'll be able to see your fish again! 2
  • And the plants will thrive.
