For years now we have had very large and overgrown trees shading our backyard and deck. The trees were our neighbors trees and blocked all the sun from our yard.
Fast forward several years and the new neighbors were quick to remove the overgrown trees. Now that they are gone it left us with another issue that needed a solution! 
See what I mean...

I saw a wooden bunny crate with 2 wooden bunnies on each end in a shop recently and it reminded me of the baskets I used to make back in the early 80's. 
They aren't kidding when they say what comes around goes around! 
Today I decided to make one... again. Only this time I'm using a repurposed old sign that I never finished. 
Take a look ...

Recently I was watching another blogger's video and saw an office sign on the wall behind her. 
I saw that she repurposed another sign to make this one and I knew right away that I wanted to make something similar for my office. 
This easy canvas technique can be done with a sign saying anything... kitchen, farmhouse, vintage, whatever!

I'm pretty sure this project took me about 10 minutes to make and it is absolutely awesome! 
First of all it looks vintage. 
Secondly, it serves a purpose. 
And third, it looks great just sitting around on a shelf! 
See what I mean...

Recently I saw someone make a wreath in a pot and I thought I'd give it a try! 
My neighbor recently cut down trees on their side and it dropped a bunch of branches on our side of the fence so I'm going to make a wreath! 
Most of the supplies for this project can be found around the yard or on a walk in the neighborhood! 
Take a look...

Sometimes I just love the look of something vintage but it is nowhere to be found in my antique store searches.
Vintage register flags were on my list of things to find but today I'm going to make them myself instead. 
Well, a faux version that will really fool the eye!

Sometimes my favorite thing to do is to go down to my workshop and just create. 
I start with an idea and gather pieces I think might work together... they don't always but most of the time I think they do. I call them junk creations. 
Today I'm starting with a glass vase, a vintage insulator and some textured paint to create an Easter Bunny. 
Take a look ...

If you saw one of my recent posts on how to make a textured bunny then you'll know that I reached for a tin ceiling tile and realized I was out of them. 
At the time I made an adorable rusty textured bunny instead and today I'm going to create the tin ceiling bunny I had set out to make and it is just in time for Spring. 
It came out very cute, take a look ...

Here is a super easy mushroom project made from Target Dollar Spot finds. 
Truth be told, I'm just giving the mushrooms a little makeover today. 
I needed these cuties to match my house so I'm repainting them to add to my mushroom collection centerpiece. 
Take a look...

Every time I think I'm out of ideas for Homeroad,  I head to the thrift store.
I almost always come away with at least one idea and today was no different. 
I found a great wreath at the thrift store and finished up my idea with a couple of items from the dollar store.
See what I came up with...
