I really like Autumn Joy Sedem - it adds so much to the fall colors. Once one has a plant it propogates so fast it almost becomes a pesky plant! But I would not want to do without it in my gardens!

Setting a table on our back porch, for a weekly blog challenge.

A friend gave me this light fixture when she was remodeling her kitchen and said, "I could not bear throwing this in the trash knowing that you could make something pretty and useful of it". This turned out to be one of my very faves! We built a new home two years ago and it was difficult to leave this behind. A big thanks to my husband. He is great at repurposing! He is a retired industrial electrician/technician & I could say a "professional tinkerer". (Is that not totally southern? ha! :)

Store your craft paints on the wall with this simple tutorial using wire shelves and PVC pipe.

I don't know what I should do. Should I sand it and leave it brown? I was thinking putting the same carpet all over because it would be safer in the winter time and not worrying about repainting it all over. So should I use different colors? What kind of paint should I use to cover it? What is your opinion? :)
