DIY Rust
DIY Rust! Now my husband would say “Are you stark raving mad? Who in their right mind would willingly rust metal” Of course, living in a beach house down by the sea, rust is often more of an aggravation for us. Everything metal, both inside and outside rusts. . . think light bulbs, door hardware, […]
Chippy Solar Chandelier
This week, my hubby and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. By today’s standards…that’s considered a long time. I guess being married to that long…you sort of get pretty relaxed, and sometimes forget to be romantic. Many years ago, we found a chandelier in an old abandoned house. Even then, I had a strange […]
Sunshine Pillow
SUNSHINE PILLOW I started finishing my mud room just shortly after we finished renovating our kitchen 8 years ago and have just made the finishing touches this summer. I decided to go with somewhat of a Sunshine theme in there since yellow is my favorite color and so cheery on the many gray […]
How to Make a Butt Can
Okay…I know y’all must be thinking…”has this woman lost her mind?” Well…yes and no. You see, I used to smoke. I pretty much smoked where ever I wanted…but the one thing I never did, was throw my butts in the yard. I couldn’t, and still can’t stand seeing them lying around. I quit nearly ten […]
Garden Bench
Several years ago, I was conjuring up a creative idea in my mind. But sometimes, I get a very specific idea in my head (do you ever do that?), and can’t seem to see a project any other way. That’s how this idea for a garden bench was. It was exactly how I saw it…and […]
Mouse Trap Organizers
Okay y’all…I’m probably the most DISorganized person anyone will ever meet. My mind goes int one direction. What ever I’m doing at the time…that’s it. I have no skills when it comes to this sort of thing. Like the little sign in my post says…”I’m too busy to be organized”. I didn’t say Importatnt…just busy. […]
Rustic Stars and Sticks Art
This Rustic Stars and Sticks art, in my mind, the perfect type of project this time of the year. It has the rustic quality…that would work for your patriotic dad for Father’s Day, and the Americana/Patriotic vibe for Memorial Day, or Forth of July….or both! It’s funny, for about 15 years now, I’ve had at […]
Toolbox Planter
Toolbox Planter I love a junky planter…don’t you? I’ve done all kinds of planters from one thing or another. Junk planters have to be my favorite. I think that the mix of the soft foliage and the rustic junk just makes for the perfect combination. Every spring I’m generally out on the prowl for something […]
We Go Together (Printable)
Y’all know lately I’ve been doing some deep thinking. Part of that includes the fact that I probably have the most wonderful husband on the face of the earth. I’ve known that for a long time now. The tragic events in our lives recently, just made me even more aware of it. We will have […]
