My little bit of paradise in Florida!

My husband I and moved to Florida almost 4 years ago. 2 years ago this month, John was killed on his way to work by an off duty cop. It was the cops fault. Since then I have done what he ...»
and I set out to do when we got down here and that was to make a place for us to retire in and enjoy all our family, friends and especially our grandchildren. Now Its me and the cat and I have pledged to keep up with this until it becomes too much. But the love I have still for my husband and my home.I don't see that happening for a very long time. Its truly a labor of love and I enjoy the results so much.

love that each door has it's own story and looking at it reminds me of all of my different friends who contributed.

  • This is the crib I started with. This style of crib is not real sturdy, that's why it took me a while to figure out what to do with it. 1
  • I cut one of the pieces shorter, and then in half. (note:I used two scrap pieces of wood to support the slats until I got them secure later in this project)
  • I built a box out of 1x10's using pocket hole screws. I used a piece of plywood for the bottom.  (I dry fit it all together with clamps) 1
  • I used screws through each of the side slats and the back of the bottom brace to attach the box to the new bench.
  • I embellished the front of the box with the bottom of the crib piece I cut off. I think this is what makes this bench come together. It ties it all in. 2
  • I added hinges and a safety hinge (not shown) I painted it a very light blue/green. Note: I drilled holes in the bottom for ventilation in case a child closes the lid while in the box. 1
  • Voila!   I love how this project came together.  Remember, you can see a step by step tutorial on my blog. My Repurposed Life  http://bit.ly/K9NUzG 4

I made flowers out of various dishes and china. Plus metal pipe and I have really cute flowers!

Using window caulk instead of glue, just caulk pieces together. Add a flattened silver spoon to the back so the handle can go down in the hollow pipe to make them into flowers for you garden art!

Should I tear these out?

I have had these hostas for 6 years and every year this happens-I have tried eggshells and spraying. This is the area I would like to use for a small frog pond(eventually) and am ...»
wondering if I plant something else here will the new plants also look like this? My other plants (fern and hardy cyclamen) ae healthy and untouched. This part of the bed gets filtered morning light-aft. shade, and full evening light. Any suggestions on replacement plants? I would like something around the same height or up to 3 in. higher than the hostas.
