Updating our Master Bathroom on the cheap...

Our Master Bath has been blah, outdated and utilitarian - topped off with a dark old green striped wallpaper. My poor husband spent an 8 hr day stripping it with a rented steamer, then ...»
another patching and another painting (Valspar Desert Flower). In the near future he will be taking on tiling the floor and backsplash. The decor I hunted down at T.J. Maxx, Marshall's, Target, Lowe's and Walmart, all working off the theme of the flowered shower curtain. I made the window covering in under 2 hours with fusible tape, and made a watercolor painting of the flowers, cut it up and framed it in a random pattern. It is almost a shame to have to get going and go to work after getting ready in my "new" bathroom each morning.

  • Green is the color of nature symbolizing growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety and is believed to have great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye--can improve vision. 14

Offset window fake out!

Older houses, such as ours, sometimes have funny offset little windows, fix that problem by tricking the eye. Don't hang one curtain panel, make it look like you have two big windows ...»

Wildlife & Animals: Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to keep squirrels out of my bird feeders?

I have tried the crushed red pepper in the bird seed, and have tried putting vaseline on the pole that holds the feeders....any other suggestions? I will at times have one or two in the feeders, with 5 or 6 on the ground below...I dont mind them on the ground, but they've broken a couple of feeders already this year for me.... :(

  • Wanted to highlight the three glass arched windows so decided to stencil birds on pieces of wood and we nailed the pieces behind the windows. 1
  • We used old posts from our front porch for the legs between the two shelves.  The unused part of the posts are going to made into lamps.  The posts are hollow inside so will be perfect to run wire thru. 1

This barnyard red dresser was purchased 6 years ago after we returned to the states after doing mission work in Mexico. It's always been a beautiful dresser. It just looks even better with the new coat of red paint.
