DIY Indoor Hanging Flower Boxes
This post is about how I built hanging flower boxes for my master bedroom! So this past winter I kinda went stir crazy with cabin fever.

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.

From Yard Sale to the Garden: A Repurposed Lamp
When I found a sturdy metal lamp at a yard sale last summer, I snatched it up for a DIY fountain I had in mind. Fast forward a year and it still sat in my garage waiting for its transformation - when a new idea trumped that fountain. One of my Quick Tips for Upcycle and Repurpose projects is to look for good and sturdy pieces. They aren't always pretty - but a strong foundation has plenty of options for dressing up. That was the case with this metal lamp I found at a yard sale last…

You know the proverb: the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Well, our house in the burbs has a wooden fence that surrounds it. It's great that it defines the boundaries, but it's not so great for privacy. As you can see by the picture below, we have a distracting view of our neighbour's pool in the back yard. No grass - just a cool, refreshing, inviting pool that we don't have access to :) As if the sightline isn't bad enough, noise transference is an issue too.
