If you have an old basement with the laundry downstairs like me, you may want ideas to update and refresh your space.  This project has been on my mind for years and now that I finally got around to it, I am thrilled! 

I love the look of a craftsman front door with a dentil shelf! You can find them all over Pinterest and all the new farmhouse styled houses have them. I am lucky enough to have a beautiful new craftsman style front door on my house but I never thought about the shelf. Until now! 

I finally got it done! I built the kitchen silverware organizer I've always wanted. This was an easy project and I love the new easy organization! 

When you're on a beach vacation and you can't sit still a great thing to do is to search the beach for treasures.  I found beautiful driftwood slats that were leftover from a dune fence and brought them home to create! 

I'm revisiting an old Homeroad project today because these are a quick and easy project and look beautiful for Fall! Some years are better than others for acorns and when I made these beautiful glittered acorns, it was a very good year! 

Do you love the look of floating shelves? Today we are going to show you how to make floating shelves and a home office area easily and inexpensively using IKEA supplies! 

Aren't these recycled denim pumpkins adorable?! And they are not hard to make! No sewing involved which is the best part! I took a little bit of several different stuffed pumpkin ideas and made these my own. The best part is that these recycled denim pumpkins were almost FREE!

This piece was a garage sale find. I knew I would do something with it, I just wasn't sure what.  A little thought and a can of orange spray paint and the wheels were set in motion! 

Here is a flashback to the paint colors we used to transform our dark home a few years ago. We transformed it using a beautiful neutral color and it looks light, bright, and amazing.  The fall colors on the mantel enhance the beautiful neutrals and the decorations for any season will pop! 

Next up on my list of home improvements is the garage. Have you ever wished you could click your fingers and have your messy garage instantly made over? It wasn't instant but 3 days later our garage looks organized, clean, and amazing!  

Sometimes I like to go down to my workshop and just create. I just grab a random collection of items and see what I can make with them. Today I created a pumpkin wreath using wood slices and I think it turned out adorable! ...

Recycling and using what I have is my favorite thing to do and fall pumpkins are another! Today I'm going to combine those loves and show you my fall mantel along with how I recycled a ribbon spool and created a cute pumpkin! 

Wine corks are easy to come by and make great projects! I like using them for many DIY projects including these fun ideas.

If you've been following along you know I jumped on the bandwagon and made a pumpkin lantern out of car tracks from the Dollar Tree. Today I'm using that same idea and repurposing a wooden roller shade I had in the basement...

Recently I had the chance to help my daughter with renovations in her new house. She had a plan to do easy board and batten on the walls. Putting up the board and batten in my daughter's house led to me wanting to do it in my own house. This post is a combination of how we did easy board and batten in 2 houses. 

One of my favorite things about Fall is finding things that make unique repurposed pumpkins.

Here is a fun Fall project I created using a repurposed embroidery hoop. It makes the perfect flameless candle centerpiece and the supplies are very inexpensive. You will love how cost effective and easy it is to make from things you may already have at home! 

Are you always looking for the next update in your home? If you're like me I never stop thinking. I sit in the living room and look around and think about what I could change next. This project was one that took me 20 years to do and I do not know what took me so long! 

Today I'm doing a fun extension of a project I showed you a few weeks ago. If you're getting ready for Fall or even thinking about getting ready for Fall, you're going to love this easy and inexpensive pumpkin project.

I made this mini ladder several years ago and it's been on my mantel ever since. I add it to every seasonal display and it always looks amazing! It is easy and you're going to want to make one of your own.

Here is a fun fall project that uses supplies from the dollar store and many you may already have at home. Add this little cutie to a wreath or hang it around your home to decorate for Fall! ...

If you're following along you may have seen me create pumpkins from the fabric scraps I gathered from a rag placemat.  Today I'm using more of those rags to create a no-sew pumpkin appliqué for a pillow cover and I have to say I love it!

Today I'm taking a great idea I saw recently and running with it!  I'm making a rag pumpkin that is not only easy to make but can be customized using whatever you already have around the house. 

Everything just looks better under a cloche, don't you think?  Not a fact, just my opinion and since my plan is to use up everything I've collected over the years, I'm showing you how to make a very easy glass cloche today! 

I promised myself I wasn't going to make this. It's cute don't get me wrong but I'd much rather just run over to Marshalls and buy a real lantern. With so many people on the internet giving it a try... I did and for $2 I'm going to give you the good, bad, and the ugly of making this very popular project. 

Today I'm going to share a pumpkin project I've seen around a lot lately.  I'm putting my own spin on it which I think makes all the difference! All the items can be purchased in the dollar store and these pumpkins just couldn't be cuter!  

Deconstructed... means to take something apart to reveal its parts. You may have seen deconstructed furniture and if you really want a laugh, just google deconstructed clothing and see what you get! Today I'm deconstructing a stretched artist canvas...

First today I'm going to show you how to create a sign I made a while back for the Fall. Then last year when I took down the Fall decor and got ready to put up the Christmas decorations... I had a great idea. 

If you ever thought about stenciling on glass I'm here to tell you today that it is easier than you might think! This project began with an old cabinet door with glass but you could just as easily use an old window. 

I'm reposting this story about the time I headed to a table of free items advertised on my my local Facebook page and noticed a large piece of aluminum duct work in the road.

Very often I take a walk around my neighborhood and come back with a great find. Today I'm sharing several of my side of the road finds with you  and what I created when I got home.

Sometimes it just takes a little experimenting to turn something old into something new. Last weekend was my daughter's garage sale and before the leftovers were sent to donation I grabbed something from the pile that gave me an idea...

Today, I'm re-sharing an easy idea from a few years past. An old window I found on the side of the road got a makeover and took on a whole new life.

Here is a repurposed project you're going to love... today I'm repurposing an artist canvas into a wall hanging planter with shelves for plants.  Don't do plants? How about a shelf for craft supplies? (source)

This is a project I've been meaning to do for a long time. I even bought the supplies a while back but never got around to it. It is one of those projects that literally takes 10 minutes and when you're finished you wonder why you didn't do it a long time ago.

Before you go ahead and tell me to just go buy a new one, let me tell you how easy it was to solve the problem with my outdoor mat.

I'm revisiting one of my favorite summer projects today!  I always love having long centerpieces on my  farmhouse table. This one was fashioned from a long 2x4 I found washed up on the beach. 

What do you do with the shells you collect on your beach vacation? I always look for pretty shells no matter what beach I visit but when I get them home I'm never too sure what to do with them... until now.  (source)

I'm combining my love of a few things today to make an easy DIY project for outdoors. I'm a big fish lover... anything with a fish design. I also like driftwood and summer projects so this is a fun combination of both! 

I am revisiting this project that I made back in 2012 because it is timeless and while it's been repainted several times since... it is a fun summer project and looks great outside the house! 

I just hate to throw anything away, especially if I like it. Beautiful fabric is really hard to get rid of because there are so many things you can do with it. Recently I had to repurpose a stained table runner my daughter gave me so I turned it into something both stylish and useful. 

I returned from a great week on vacation and brought back a bunch of pretty shells. As you all probably guessed, I just couldn't leave them alone. As pretty as they were, I needed to give them a little pizazz! 

Do you collect anything?  I have several collections, some are vintage, some are nostalgic, and some things I collect are just plain practical.  Bottles... I collect bottles and jars. I've got shelves in my basement filled with jars and bottles and every once in a while I come up with an idea to do something with them. 

This project was one of those DIY projects that I use all the time! I originally made this organizer with recycled cans and a piece of antique barrel wood. 

You've probably seen these awesome flags around the internet and like me, knew it would be so easy to make using things I already had around the house! Today I'm giving it a try and I'm thrilled with the results!

I am a beach lover! I live near the beach, I kayak at the beach, and I create art at the beach.  Today I'm using what I found at the beach to create a simple hanging fish using shells.  This is a great project for your next vacation! 

I've been on an organizing frenzy in my office lately and while ready to purge anything I didn't need anymore, I ended up using a few of the pieces to create a great organizer!

Here is a great, easy project to do for the summer.  You can make it for yourself or with your children or grandchildren.  It's the perfect summer beach project!  source

This one is for all my fans of Dollar Store makeovers!  I took these 2 simple boxes and turned them into something easy and fun to make. One is for the art lover and the other is a Fourth of July decoration you're going to want to try! 

I found these great stars at the Dollar Tree recently and was saving them for just the right inspiration. My last trip to Marshalls gave me the inspiration I needed for this easy Fourth of July craft!
