  • You can back-brush the second coat for a smoother texture.
  • The deck almost looks like composite now. Rust-Oleum has lots of different colors to choose from, and we selected "Saddle".

  • After brush painting didn't work, I spray painted embroidery hoops that I bought for less than a dollar each.
  • After the paint dried, I constructed the spheres by loosening the bolts and assembling them.
  • They are just like the ones I have seen in high-end stores and catalogs.  This is also a kid-friendly craft.

Decorative spheres or orbs are quite a decorating trend right now. Rather than overpaying for them, we decided they would be easy to make with some embroidery hoops and spray paint. This ...»

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.
