If a grand Dutch masters oil painting of a still-life of flowers is a little too stodgy for you (or, huh, you don’t have a couple of millions around to buy one), try this modern tongue in cheek version. Perfect for that narrow spot where there’s not enough room for a table with flowers, or…
Floating Bed
I’ve made a few of these floating beds over the years and I always love them. I’ve played around with different methods of building them and different ways of hanging them. This is I think my favorite. It’s definitely the easiest to build and I think the rope work makes it the best looking as…
Backyard Scrabble
I must say, we’re a little obsessed with Scrabble these. On boards, on our phones….so why not in our yard? With outdoor fun just around the corner, this outdoor set will make for hours of family fun as well as good lessons in spelling for the younger set.
Spring Animal Coats
I’ve never liked putting the kids in their winter coats in the spring. Sure, it’s still cold outside, but those heavy winter coats just seem to insure that winter will never leave. So this year I got some cute spring coats on line and turned them into cute spring creature coats for the kids. With…
Tea Cup Wreath
I love old china. Just thinking of the hands that have cradled it, the tables that it’s set, the milestones that it’s celebrated, who’s wedding registry it was on years and years ago. So when I see it sitting chipped and abandoned with a $1.00 price tag, it’s hard to walk past. This wreath takes…
Nesting Tables
Nesting tables have been around since the 1700’s when table’s voluptuous curves slimmed down a little so you could actual fit one under another. Back then every parlor needed a table for tea, embroidery and, of course, cards – why not slip them all under one another when not in use? Well 300 years later,…
Carrot Fire Starter Bundles
Just because it’s cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace, it doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating spring with a basket full of carrots. These carrots are made of grapevine with fresh rosemary greens – toss them in the fireplace under your logs for a quick start, or leave them in a basket…
Bunny Planter Stand
Not only a great way to celebrate the coming of spring, also a great fix for those of us that may not have actual garden space! These bunny planters can be made out of one piece of pine board and come together in absolutely no time.
Embroidery Hoop Urns
One sees these in every designer shop these days – lovely old world orbs. They’re perched on top of books, nestled in a planter with ivy, or perched upon a candlestick. Well, here’s how you can get that same look at home for merely the cost of a few embroidery hoops.
Beaded Snowflake
I’ve always loved the clean lines and natural woods of Scandinavian design. There’s something so modern and refreshing, even in the most rustic of designs. These wooden bead snowflakes have that feel and once you get the hang of it, you can make them in as many different ways as there are snowflakes.
Wedding Invitation Shadowbox
I was so honored to help out a viewer who found her parents’ wedding invitation not long after her mother passed away. Not knowing how to honor her parents more than 50 years of marriage, she wrote to me. Here’s my solution, I liked it so much I may even dig mine out and do…
Dog Feeder Dresser
Before kids, we were happy pet parents. With two dogs and a cat we were always tripping over bowls, leashes and bags of food. Well, the next time we go down that path, boy will things be different! I’ve figured out this all in one pet food and bowl holder that keeps everything in one…
Butterfly Domes
Nothing says lazy summer day like a gently floating butterfly. In an effort to keep those lovely days in mind all year long, I’ve created a butterfly cloche to remind myself that those summer days are never too far off. Easily done and completely customizable to match your decor they’re a wonderful little fantasy piece.
Yarn Storage Art
A viewer wrote to me with a dilemma. Her yarn supply was getting out of control and although she had it all stored neatly in bins, she couldn’t see everything she had. Not to mention that getting to some of the yarn involved shuffling bins around and copious amounts of digging. So here is…
Leather Belt Shelving
I love leather belts. I love rustic wood planks. So…..why not put them together into some useful (and chic) shelving. I was truly shocked how easy this was to put together, an impressive DIY for any of you putting off your first project!
Acrylic Knife Block
I love this project for several reasons. First, my old knife block sits on the counter taking gobs of space while harboring who knows what kind of bacteria and germs in those dark slots in the wood. Secondly, I’m never quite sure what knife I’m grabbing and usually have to go a couple of rounds…
Hardware Christmas Tree
We all have it. That drawer of random hardware. Or maybe it’s a garage shelf with bits and pieces. Well let them sit there no longer! Here’s a great way to pull them together into a bohemian Christmas tree that could really stay up all year long.
Succulent Heart
Everyone knows my love of succulents. There’s such a variety, they take very little care and they live forever. I did a similar project to this before where I mixed them with roses and used floral foam. I wanted to revisit the project and find a way you could permanently plant in the heart box…
Veterans Valentine
A Veterans’ Valentine Wreath, for all of our great American service people who are serving or have served our country.
Ice Skate Frame
What does one do when Olympic gold medal winner Tara Lapinsky is coming to town….make an ice skate frame, duh. When I was putting it together though I realized how great it would be for commemorating so many milestones – ballet slippers for that first performance, baby shoes for those first steps, wedding shoes for…
