  • What a great addition to our side porch. It makes our deck more cozy with room for up to 10 people.
  • Here is a video of the functionality of our table

Not The "Good Enough" Table, But The "Perfect" Table

We are making progress on our side porch project. This is the newest addition -- an expandable deck table. Rather than paying $300+ for a table that was "good enough", we made the "perfect table" for only $185! The finished table would likely retail for $500. Since we used treated lumber, we will wait to paint for now, but I plan to do a white wash on the top and paint the base ...»
a rich, dark brown. Take a look at my other posts on Hometalk to see where we started with our project. Please follow me if you would like to see updates.

Gardening

With all the garden pictures I've been seeing here, I got to longing for my summer yard! Here are some pictures of my summertime. I have no room in my house for new decorating anymore, so it's the outside now!

  • An organic, raised garden table, planted by the square foot method using companion herbs and flowers...and a little veggie bling.
  • 1. Companion Flowers -
Marigold, Petunia and Zinnia are the cheerleaders of veggie teams. 1
  • 2. Trellis -
Keep it light and simple. Pictured here are two inexpensive bean tents that were snipped at the hinges to make four trellis panels. 3
  • 3. String Ribbon - 
Use reflective ribbon pinned by shiny thumbtacks to stake out your square foot garden. Adds color and keeps the birds away.
  • 4. Beneficial Herbs - 
Plant basil, chamomile, thyme and other herbal veggie companions. Add color and fragrance to your garden while repelling pests.
  • 5. Beads - 
Better bling than pinwheels. String inexpensive Mardi Gras beads to add sparkle and pop. In dusk, they give the illusion of holiday lights. 1
  • 6. Whimsy - 
Every garden must have a gnome but consider adding toys like small animals and action figures.
  • We're adding dinosaurs this year.
  • Now that we have the Garden Stamp, we are setting aside the yardstick and extra ribbon to focus on planting square foot patterns of edible color. 1
  • Stamped out.
  • Update: It worked!
  • For 2013: Don't neglect those containers. See our post on this simple bamboo & ribbon pea trellis.

Patio Furniture Redo

I was finally tired of the faded, stained and generally unattractive patio furniture. We live in deep South Texas and the wind/sun take a toll on outdoor furniture year-round. I sanded ...»
with 220 grit sandpaper, followed by a walnut stain, and then three coats of polycrylic finish. My husband loves the new look and I couldn't be happier. It was worth the three days of work. I sanded one day, stained and applied a coat of poly one day, and then other coats of poly the next day (let 2 hours go by and then applied the third coat). This way it didn't seem like a lot of work!
