Bench Made From Old Found Bed Frame.

How We Made Stepping Stone Walkway From Ice Cream Buckets.

We had already purchased molds from Lowe`s that made this pattern. We are using this pattern that will come off the back porch and out to our sitting area with burn pit and adding two hammock chairs. We did not want everything to be matched, so we had to figure what kind of pattern we wanted. My hubby is building A bigger shop, that is why everything is in the yard. In the process of cleaning out the old shed we had A lot of empty ice cream buckets and knew someday we would use them for something.

Garden Bench With Plants Plots- Simple Build

I've built this simple bench for a friend of mine to use on its home terrace and i featured it with two plots to fit in it some furniture plants to give it a better stylish look.This is a really simple build project you can replicate with simple Diyer tools, cheep costs and you can enjoy all the process, so you could build your own garden furniture and for this kind of build you can also work outside , in your garden itself.I've decided to make this kind of project with spruce wood because it is cheep ,it is simple to find pre-cutted size in every homedepot, already planed and ready to use. All the structure is demountable because we had to take it on the terrace so it was simoke to move on the stair with more manageable pieces; after all if you you need to unmount it and store you could do it.I suggest you to buy planed lumber because as much is true that you pay it a little bit more but in the case of rough lumber you have to considerate the time you have to spend to cleaning up every lumber to make it ready to be handeled. Think about that.The bench size are : 50cm H x 50cm W x 300 cm LI will use the metric system to explain mesures because i'm italian and so we have this kind of mesures for lumberHere is the list of material needed :9 pieces 4x6 (lumbers are 4 meters long for every section size)2 pieces 3x158 pieces 8 mm diameter stell rods with bolts and washersPlenty of passionPLEASE CHECK OUT ON MY INSTAGRAM PROFILE TO TAKE A LOOT AT MY PROJECT, EVERY FEEDBACK, EITHER NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE , WILL BE VERY APPRECIATE AND HELPFUL FOR ME TO GROWING UP AND MAKE PROGRESS BUILDING THINGS.

Broken Ceiling Fan Light Kit to Solar Chandelier

Our 20 year old ceiling fan broke and was being replaced. Being the crafting person I am, I couldn’t just throw the old fan with lights away. I wanted to salvage all the pieces I could for those future projects you read about on Hometalk.com. I took the whole thing apart and saved pretty much everything except the broken motor and the housing. Many of the parts will become wind chimes at a later date. The blades and glass light covers are headed to my local thrift store.

An Outdoor Bench Made From an Old Queen Bed Frame!

From Child's Roll Top Desk to Counter Potting Shed!

I found myself constantly going out to our potting area in a dreary area of our barn, getting what I needed to start seeds or cuttings and coming back up to our porch outdoor kitchen counter to do them.

How to Make an Easy Patio Privacy Screen {Step-by-Step Tutorial}

I've seen several DIY projects for privacy fences, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money or put a ton of effort into this project. Unfortunately, I have a champagne vision with a beer budget, but we were able to complete this project for less than $30 in under two hours. Paul (the hubs), was going to be doing most of the work, and I would be the job foreman. I'm happy to report that we're still married, even after our..."lively" debate about why its unrealistic for me to expect full growth ivy winding it's way through the lattice panels, while we sit in cushy new patio chairs sipping Mojitos listening to the gentle gurgle of a three-tier water feature that he could also build that weekend? Geesh, he's such a killjoy.

I bought this dresser at an online auction. Based on the condition of the veneer that I saw in the photos, I thought it would be a perfect candidate for painting.

Two Pieces of Furniture From One, Do You Like It?

My son needed a vanity for his laundry room. I had a dresser than was too tall, so I cut it in two, added new legs to make it just the right height, then I decorated it up a little with vinyl that I cut with my silhouette. As it turns out it is too wide for the space, so I think it will just be a sideboard. With the left over drawer and legs I added a new top and some foam and fabric to make a bench with storage. Two pieces from one!
