The possibilities are endless.

Decoupage Terracotta Pots

We all have many women in our life that are very are special to us. Although we may appreciate and care about someone, we often neglect to let them know, and regret it when it is too late. Makingsomeone’s day special doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.These easy decoupage terracotta pots were $0.78 each and I used scraps I already had from previous projects to transfer them into works of art. And you can do the same! Besides, does Mom actually need another mug?

7 Amazing Upcycling Ideas

Literally transform trash into treasure with these easy upcycling ideas.

Baking Tin Repurposed to Hanging Planter

I love plants but so does my cat. Once I left my yucca on windowsill only to find a tuft of nibbled leaves sticking out next morning. such. I can only leave mint and lemongrass safely cause Jaques the nasty cat hates their smell. Everything else must be put in unreachable places. But plants also require natural light, right? So the best way is to hang them near windows. Luckily today I came up with a quick solution – DIY hanging planter made from metal baking tin.

Closet Decor From Duct Tape and Pop Cans

I have lived in quite a few rentals in my day. With every new new place challenges arise on how to decorate it. One thing that is seems always typical of rentals is the hollow-core sliding doors for the closet. I absolutely hate, hate, hate these things. If I have the opportunity, my usual response is to remove and hide them, and hang a curtain, tapestry, beaded curtains, something besides those ugly fake wood doors. Unfortunately, in my current home there is no place to store them. So, staring at my closet doors one morning, which my bed faces, I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided needed to dress them up. But I did not want to spend a lot of money doing so. We are thinking about making a move soon(ish) so I did not want to spend a lot of money, also I needed to do something that would not risk my security deposit. I have seen projects where people add trim and paint and make these doors look fantastic, but that is just not an option for me (no painting here, wah!). So looking around and deciding to use what I had, I came up with is pretty cool way of dressing up these doors without risking your security deposit. (This post contains affiliate links. For my full disclosure policy click link at the bottom of this post) *When of comes time to remove duct tape, it is actually very simple. Pull up the tape, use a butter knife or a plastic window scraper. To get rid of the residue, do not use Goo-Gone! You would be scrubbing forever! Instead, use WD-40. WD-40 is a petroleum based lubricant that helps soften the adhesive residue. Let it sit on the residue for a few minutes and it should wipe right off!!

Signs of Fall

I was wanting a Fall sign for my gate and I saw my inspiration sign on line. This sign was a bit beyond my skills. I thought the leaf was made of metal but it was actually cut out with a jig saw!

Every one talks about reusing what you have so I started with an old drawer front from an old vanity (1978) when we remodeled.

Covid Forced Office Place

Store closing sign and covid had inspired this built in in our office. Our family has been living in our home for the last 14 years and never had the need to use our office as intended for or what would show on a listing if you sell our house one day.I saw a sign front of World Market and it said “store closing “ which means you can score a deal. I went in and I found 3 floating shelves and decided to buy it and later to figure out what we will use it for. That’s me,discount,buy it and later we will see what to use it for. My husband hates it but it is what it is.Since covid started many people forced to work from home and also kids to learn virtual. Decided to convert our workout room to office and that’s how it started. Sat down to the sketching board and started brainstorming on what do we want and what we do not want.Anyway, here are some pictures of our projects. Should’ve taken more pictures . This isn’t a weekend project ,neither on the cheap side but I am convinced we saved money and when we will decide to sell our house it will help the sale.Enjoy it and if you have any questions please do not hold back.
