DIY Dog Flea Spray - No Chemicals

Are you looking for an alternative to the chemical flea medicines that are normally used for fleas on dogs?

Make your own flea spray. Just mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of liquid castile soap and 1/2 cup of warm water together in a spray bottle, and apply the mixture directly to your dog’s coat.

  • The armoire in the corner is from the 1800's...I love the burl wood and will not be painting it.
  • I've thought a slipcover on the chair would lighten up this corner of the room. 1
  • The t.v. wall across from the couch.  

I plan to upholster the coffee table to create a tufted ottoman. 

I've add more pictures to the gallery wall and am changing the drawer handles on the dresser.  Reveal to come soon!

    Your livingroom is a mix of classics both masculine and feminine. However, the majority of the ...»
    furniture is more masculine. The coffee table is one of the feminine pieces with the curves so if it were to be made into an ottoman, I would maintain the curves and cover it in a feminine pattern similiar to the Ikat pattern seen in the chair pillow and tuft it like the chair. This would maintain its feminine nature as well as make the tufted chair not stand alone as much. However, I like the coffee table as a table since you already have an ottoman. I think I would see how it looks to switch the placement of the two chairs to bring brightness to the corner. As for the mantel, it needs to have the green apples grouped if not removed. The mantel needs to have the colors from the pillows brought to it with some height. I hope that this helps.

  • It was aqua before, without glass in the front and hung on a wall.
I went with a muted red and sage drawers.

Before and After Curio Case Gone Unisex

I didn't quite know where this thing was going. The knobs could not be removed and the grill was not coming out!! Plan B: I decided to remove the wall hanging hardware, add some glass to the drawers where they could actually hold something and be seen, then went with colors and style that either sex could use. It is suitable for the kitchen, bedroom or bath now..and I kinda love it now. Everything has something it wants to become..Come visit me on Facebook..let's share some ideas!! xoxo

  • 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.

  • 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 foot long 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.

  • We covered all the horizontal surfaces on our deck, and it required 4, 4-gallon buckets. 3
  • 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".
