    Hi Alice! I know thinhs change, esp styles. I love designing home plans and decor. For myself ...»
    though I cannot afford to keep up with the ever changing trends. and in many cases do not care to, as I have my own tastes, I have lived in homes that did not have enough natural light via windows so love the lighter shades, and do not care for the darker shades. I hope I did not offend you in expressing my own personal prefferences.

  • I hope to make this into a Master Bathroom. It needs the walls redone as they did not remove siding nor did they use proper drywall for a bathroom, and it is damaged anyway. I need a way to cut drywall and studs. And I need fixtures ..
  • photo taken before we bought the home. This room was for storage, I want to use for guests and my grandkids. At one time this was part of a porch.
  • This is with the shelves removed. I need to redo the walls as they are very crooked and have holes & they did not remove the siding, hence the curtains covering the walls.  Plus it needs insulation and carpet.

  • Patriotic perfection - Rusty metal stove doors! 1

Repurposing & Upcycling: Cast iron stove doors - what to do with these lovelies?

We had an old cast iron wood stove in our garage, but never used it because the bottom was rusted out, so hubby took the pieces to the scrapyard. However, I kept these fabulous doors and feet! I thought about creating recycled wood frames and hanging the doors up as wall art, but I wanted to see if any other creative folks out there could help me think of other options? As for the feet, I may use them under a large potted plant, but I am open to suggestions about those too. I can't wait to see what great ideas pop up!

    paint yes, but there is a way that will work for wicker and a way that won't, I tried it ...»
    without any prep, and it looked great for awhile, but then peeled (I used it outside though, so maybe dif. for inside?) Spray paint coats more evenly, but I think it has to be sanded first?, hope someone else can have more accurate info in how to do it...
