When cleaning out the garage inspires instead of just tires........

Last summer I forced myself to clean out our garage. Underneath all of our junk were a few hidden treasures. When I cleared off of our old workbench I was inspired to pull it out of the ...»
garage, where it had been sorely underused, and repurpose it as a potting bench. We use it so much more now! Check this out for all the details http://www.ourfifthhouse.com/2011/06/potting... and see how it's still being used in our patio here. http://www.ourfifthhouse.com/2012/04/2012-su...

farmhouse table

My Very Clever Husband made me a big farmhouse style table out of pallet timber.

A couple of years later I updated it by painting and distressing the legs white and white washing the top.

We seat 8 people for meals every day but it is big enough to seat 12 comfortably.

Go here to see the result:

Jazz Up Your Corkboard

I had brought some cork tiles this weekend and thought that instead of having boring ol' cork tiles I would "jazz" them up a bit. So I pulled out my bag of goodies [yes I have my own ...»
toolbox that my husband has sort-of taken over] and got started. More on this project @ http://thehousemadehome.blogspot.com/2012/02...

  • I nearly painted the top at first. I'm glad I didn't. Love the woodsy warm look!

  • The framework was worked out so the desk had productive space underneath for the chair and rolling files.

  • Naturally a little bit of repurposing had to come into play somewhere. :)

  • The coke crate is perfect for pens and such. There are other repurposed office ideas in the reveal as well.

Reclaimed Wood Valance

Wanting the perfect rustic touch to finish off my son's nursery, my husband and I rigged up a window valance made from pieces of a fence that used to be up on our property. The project was free, looks great with the blue silk curtains we used, and looks even better than we imagined!

Kitchen Window Treatment

Here is an idea for a kitchen window treatment when a curtain just won't do. Using a fun sign really make a big visual impact.

  • Can't you read the sign?
  • Kitchen Inspiration!
  • The kitchen backs onto park property so privacy isn't an issue. And I prefer the sun to stream right on it anyway. 4
  • The shades were lined with another fabric (via hot glue) so they weren't too transparent. Gotta appreciate those ready made graphics. :)
  • Junky trinkets were added as faux pulls just for fun.
  • Love how the shades add some warmth without taking over the sunlight nor view. Let's face it... long curtains would get splashed on here anyway.
  • Here's a shot of how the fabric was glued together, then glued to the rod. These are 'dummy' panels so they didn't have to actually work.

Full tutorial can be seen on my blog at:

Make your own coffee sack shades - fast and easy!

I'm one that prefers untraditional window treatments, hence, the coffee sack shades were born!

I simply cut a closet dowel to size, installed it inside the window frame, hot glued the ...»

sack onto the rod and called it done. Very quirky, rustic and so easy to do.
