DIY Cake Stand Kitchen Organizer

I don't know about you, but my kitchen counters can not have any clutter on them or I will go insane. It's not easy to keep the counter clean when there is things laying around. I was ...»
getting sick of my dish soap & hand soap lying around so I wanted to make something to clean it all up. I made this stand using a dollar store tray & a candlestick. I simply spray painted the two pieces & glued them together with super glue. I also added a bowl with white rags inside to cut back on our paper towel. They are super handy & great to bleach and keep clean for some "green cleaning". Check the post for all of the photos and info. Hope you guys love this simple DIY :)

Old Door Headboard - Made for a King Size Bed

We love making headboards out of these old doors - there is so much character to each one of them. This headboard was shipped to one of our Customers in FL. ...»

The doors we use are usually 80+ years old and have had their share of various paint treatments over the years.

These old door headboards make a great conversation piece and are sure to become the focal point of any bedroom.

Keep us in mind if you're not up to doping the trim work and want us to do that for you. We do work with a large DIY Client base that have us do the work and they will add the finishing touches themselves.

Thank you for the business!

Tissue Paper Wall Flowers

I created this flower wall collage for my daughter's room by making tissue paper flowers and fan flowers with scrapbook paper and simply adhering them to the wall. This idea adds color and whimsy to any space! :)

pva glue/ decoupage glue, scissors, soft brush, varnish
  • lightly sand and wash the chair. cut your napkin into small squares....paint a thin layer of PVA onto chair...let dry until tacky..
  • apply the napkin squares using a brush with decoupage glue.....overlap slightly...concentrate on one section at the time...
  • When covered, let dry then first varnish using decoupage sealant, then a layer of spray varnish...
  • from plain to fun in one day....

  • Succulent Gardens are easy to create and super easy to care for.
  • We used PVC pipe and cut it at an angle
  • Spray painted with stone paint
  • Fill with pea gravel for drainage and soil. Then planted the succulents.
  • Some of the plants were also planted in the ground.
  • Since there were some questions about Indoor Succulent Gardens, I thought I would add a photo of the one we created for indoors. They do great indoors.

    Some are hardy...others will overwinter in an unheated but insulated space (for me, a cellar). ...»
    You need to check on each individual plant for hardiness.

  • I found this photo on HGTVRemodel's website.  While this look is clean, I want to steer away from the metal "rails" to hold the shelving.

DIY Pantry

I want melamine shelving with NO brackets that curve ever so smoothly around the corners of my former laundry "closet". Hubby wants the "rails" on the wall with brackets. Which one do we choose? Check out my quandary on which shelving to use for my "new" pantry! http://www.the-byrds-nest.net/diy-new-pantry...

  • This photo shows the house before it was painted and the lawn before we started building the patio.  It was UGLY.
  • After some good teamwork between my husband and me, this is our finished product.  We spend lots of time out here.

We Built Our Patio

When we bought our house, the back yard was full of gravel. We sold it on Craig's list, and got to work grading the soil and building a brick patio. Here is a step by step description of ...»
