Junk v. Traditional - A Hometalk Hangout!

I hung out (on video) with two Hometalkers yesterday. FunkyJunk Interiors - Donna and Rhoda V ...»
They let me peek inside their homes to see how they decorated their Thanksgiving tables this year. Two completely different styles - both gorgeous! Watch. Oh, and I sound very high pitched for some reason. I think I was excited to be hanging out with them, lol.

I made flowers out of various dishes and china. Plus metal pipe and I have really cute flowers!

Using window caulk instead of glue, just caulk pieces together. Add a flattened silver spoon to the back so the handle can go down in the hollow pipe to make them into flowers for you garden art!

    I flattened the spoon with a hammer on my cement step. The handle of the spoon goes into the pipe.

    No, you can not use polyurethane. You need to go buy an outdoor sealer. And no, I did not seal ...»
    my windows because I didn't care if they rot down...I will just make another or something else, but that is the way I am. I did build a square form from pressure treated wood that the base of the windows are screwed into, so the windows don't actually sit on the ground. Then I just use exterior paint to paint the windows when needed.

My stairwell with painted scallops and new wainscoting.

We just added wainscoting to our wall in our upstairs stairwell. I also didn't want to paint the white wall all the way up past 20 feet because of it being so high. I 'cheated' down 2 ft. ...»

My garden cupola

A friend brought over some old windows knowing that I would do something fun with them. The outcome? This fun large garden cupola over my septic tank! The roof is plastic ceiling tiles.

    grass would not stay green over the septic tank. I think it sucked the moisture out of it, so i did some research and found that I could plant shallow rooted plants over it...then came the cupola.

    Nancy LP, you have to determine your snow load in your area. I live in Western Illinois and ...»
    our snow load is 60%. That means that I can only have 60% shade on top with the lattice bars which is what I have. We had one snow a couple of years ago that netted us 22 inches and this pergola never moved or got harmed.
