Valentine Conversation Stones

So many times when my husband and I get a dinner out alone, we talk about bills, work and the daily grind. This year for Valentine's Day, I thought I would plan a dinner in and make some conversation stones so that we talk about other things than what is going on day to day.

Birch Bark Covered Flowerpots

I will be honest with you, when I first tried to do this project I could not get it to work the way I wanted. I spent a couple of very frustrating hours trying to stick wet springy bark to pots, using a variety of glues to no avail.To make a Birch Bark covered pot like ours you will need some pieces of bark, a terracotta pot, elastic bands and PVA glue. We also painted the rim of our pot with a cream acrylic paint.

Simple DIY Labeled Soap Dispensers

Last week I told you guys all about the details of so today I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how to make your own labeled soap dispensers like the ones we have by our kitchen sink. Although I now consider myself a blogger, I began my professional life as a graphic designer and it still occupies a big part of my brain. So the thought of leaving a mismatching set of dish and hand soap bottles with poorly-designed labels on the counter was just never very appealing. So I left them under the sink, and had to dig around in the under-sink mess every time I needed them. Completely ridiculous. Solution: matching, labeled soap dispensers.

Farmhouse Thrift Store Upcycle

Who doesn't love a great thrift store find?! Whenever I get the chance to go to the local "Bargain Barn", I am never disappointed. This time around, I found a large mirror on sale, but I wasn't loving the frame. Nothing a little paint and elbow grease can't fix!

Epoxy Tulip Table Top

I bought a Tulip style table base at an auction years ago for $5. Like many of my project ideas, it sat in my garage until I could figure out how to make or get a table top. I absolutely wanted the table to be thin, or at least appear to be very thin, like the OG Saarinen tables.

Patio Door on a Rail

We live in a townhouse. The grounds of our townhouse association are very beautiful and very well-maintained. When the weather is nice, there is a lot of traffic outside: people walking by, with dogs, with kids... to the shopping mall, from the shopping mall... employees from nearby business offices on lunch break... Right next to our patio and the room that I use as my office.I did not want to use blinds or curtains on the patio door (I do not like either). Instead, I bought a a piece of wall décor, a large carved wood panel, at TJ Maxx. It had a small scratch and was on sale for $50.

How To Refinish Old Kitchen Cabinets With Valspar Cabinet Paint

Creating a She Shed/Craft Shack - The Exterior

After painting the interior of my She Shed/Craft Shack it was time for me to work on the outside. When the shed initially was delivered, I had it placed at the very back of the property. Every project I would have to trudge all the way back there at least 10 times to get tools and supplies. Needless to say, that got old... QUICK. Major changes were in order for this little shed’s location and exterior! Here is how I did it for less than $200!

Porch Privacy - the Easy Way!

Our front porch had no privacy, it faces the neighbours' windows on one side and the street on another. Also, because it was so open, the patio furniture often got wet from rain and faded from the sun. I’d been mulling over the easiest way to address these issues and after eight years I finally tackled it.

Pallet Walls, Sanding and Sealing Them in the Basement Bathroom

Returning to work on the Basement Bathroom by tackling the pallet walls. This Basement has been a LONG, slow process but, to be fair, its not where we live so its not on our “urgent” to-do list. Though we do hang out down here on the weekends especially it wasn’t until I upcycled an old toolbox in the bathroom here that I finally got motivated. We installed the commode and rolling doors for this space and finished up the living room. After that I realized there wasn’t a ton to do to finally have a completed bathroom for the first time ever so I got to work!

Hanging Rug as Wall Art

Hanging a rug as wall art is an excellent way to cover a large area of wall in your home with a new texture, I love that instead of another hard surface on the wall like framed art it can add some softness to the walls & sometimes in a less expensive way if you aren’t hanging anything precious. I recently found this rug for $5 (at 5 below) & knew I had the perfect place for it…and you can probably already tell it wasn’t going on the ground! I put a plan together to hang this rug as wall art & it worked out so perfectly that I had to share it with y’all because I just love sharing a good DIY ( you can see them all here).
