This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Flood® Wood Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. So a couple of weeks ago I hauled the boys to Home Depot determined to get the supplies I needed to build my own cedar raised garden bed. I had an hour before meeting some friends for a much needed girl's night so I was a woman on … [Read more...]
Are you tired of outdoor projects yet? I hope not because I feel like I'm on a roll! I've been stuck inside all winter and now I'm ready to get outside and I want a pretty place to enjoy all this nice weather! Waaaaaaay back when this was a tiny little newborn baby blog I posted about my patio furniture I bought at World Market. I searched … [Read more...]
{sigh} The backyard. On the one hand it is one of my favorite places now that we finished our Patio Makeover (for now!) But on the other hand it's been a huge source of stress and a ginormous work in progress (like I described in my last backyard transformation post!) The pool was put in late last summer, getting finished up in late August. … [Read more...]
Finally! The pictures I've been waiting to share with you all for weeks (and you would have gotten them a good two weeks ago if the baby hadn't killed my laptop!) After I lost my original pictures we had an insane amount of pollen roll in and I had to wait for it to let up a bit so I could rephotograph the patio-but here it is! {eek!} I'm in … [Read more...]
Did you see the vintage chair I made over yesterday? Well we bought it to accent this amazing table that my husband built last weekend. You see, we build our house last year and actually moved in last April. Shortly after moving in we decided to put in a pool which totally tore up our yard. Between the pool and then the requisite fence, … [Read more...]
Let's just roll back in time a few days to Saturday...after two weeks of being stuck in the house with three sick little boys (and being sick myself) I was, oh let's say, a little cranky. So my husband did what he knew would cheer me up-took me to the Habitat ReStore for a little chair hunting. We had spent Friday building a new outdoor dining … [Read more...]
If you follow along on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram you've probably seen that the last two weekends have been all about the backyard over here. Here's a little backstory for ya: Last April my husband and I moved into our new construction home. We were able to hand-pick our lot and customize many things about our house and it was a really … [Read more...]
I'm not a nature girl. I dislike being cold, bugs, getting dirty, pretty much all the thing being out in the woods entails. I'm a sit on the couch with a fuzzy throw blanket and read kind of girl. But nevertheless I braved the wilderness to gather magnolia leaves to make this wreath. And I loved it. And I wanted more. So I again braved … [Read more...]
I'm having a wreath-making party tomorrow (which I'll be sharing later this week) and as I was prepping I thought I would make myself a new wreath for our front door. The entire time since we moved in April I have had my Easy Spring Wreath on the front door...we were overdue for a freshening up! I resisted the urge to go for an autumn look just … [Read more...]
After I gave my outdoor cushion a spray paint makeover two weeks ago I knew I had to give the throw pillows a new look. The old look was very pale and beachy-it totally clashed with the navy blue color I painted the stained cushion. I decided to go with an Americana look and knowing I needed six pillow covers it was going to have to be a DIY … [Read more...]
Oh yes, you read that title correctly....you can spray paint fabric. Over the past few months I had been desperately trying to figure out how to handle this situation with my patio furniture: While I love my World Market patio set I must have been thinking crazy when I ordered white cushions last year because they quickly went all to heck … [Read more...]
Remember this disaster area I shared with you a couple of weeks ago? Well I finally got to work trying to create some semblance of order in my future work area in the garage. With the amount of DIY projects I have going on at any one time I need to have room to organize and grow so when I was making Jack's American Flag Pegboard recently I … [Read more...]
