Today's project is a fun one if you're thinking of getting your garden ready! It isn't too hard to do either. 
All you need for this project is a brick and some paint. You can use paint sticks or paint and a brush!
These bricks are adorable and will look amazing in your garden!

I'm finally getting around to another easy home improvement project I've thought about for a long time. 
We've lived in this house for 29 years this year. We live in the same town we grew up in. Our children, and their children go to the same schools we did. 
We love out house and we are constantly looking for large and small projects to update it. 
Today I'm working on an easy update. 
Take a look...

Have you seen the large "brass" bells in the Target Dollar Spot? They were  $5 and had a great large jute hanger!
Problem was... the color was all wrong! The "brass" wasn't even a good gold color. 
But I bought the bell and brought it home and fixed the color. 
Today, I'll show you how to get the vintage brass look on an inexpensive bell.

Good Morning! Today I'm working on a Mackenzie-Childs™inspired cheese tray. 
Back in the day I was a huge fan of MC, I think it was the black and white checks that drew me in. 
These days I'm a little more neutral but still a fan of the graphic black and white designs so when I saw their Courtly cheese tray I knew it was something I wanted to try.

My husband retired! 🙌🏻
I've got his "honey do" list all ready for him.
I've kept him busy for days! After all, I'd hate for him to get bored! 
Today's project couldn't have been easier and looks like new! 

Are you ready for the summer months? 
All the red, white and blue and American flags? 🇺🇸
Making American flags is one of my favorite things to make and this one is the best! 
I was inspired by a flag I saw and I created one for my mantel that I love! ...

I love faux paint treatments and I'm always experimenting with something new. 
I've done several makeovers of glass vases recently but this time I've hit the holy grail of paint treatments! 
It's a recipe I've made before but this time I tripled the secret ingredient. 
You won't believe the after! ... 

I haven't painted furniture in a long time but I've been wanting to try this fun idea for a while now!
I wanted to turn a boring old end table I had into a beauty but didn't want to work too hard! 
I added a retro stenciled drawer liner that was perfect for this little table! 

I have a favorite cement mannequin that I use to decorate my deck. 
Originally it was white and had a post and a stand.
Unfortunately, I've left it outside over the winter many times and this year it broke. 
The question now is... do I fix it or dump it? 

Recently we had several bouquets of flowers delivered in those standard clear glass vases you see all over the thrift stores. Most of these will be donated but I saved the best one to repurpose! 

Have you seen them? Do you have them? Those cute little white houses from Target dollar spot? I gave them a simple makeover today and made them even better! 

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! 

We live in a 60 year old colonial with a basement that we never refinished.
My laundry and my workshop are in the basement so I spend a lot of time down there. 

As you read please visit the bold blue links and the READ MORE sections for more Homeroad information and the products I used to make this project. 


Today I'm going to repaint the cement floor and create inexpensive ideas to give our basement a facelift. 
After finally updating our garage and painting the floor, I was on a roll so started this project as soon as I finished the last one. 
I began by piling everything f…

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!  

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 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.

This cute sign came about because I had a frame I needed to fill.  You just can't have a perfectly good frame just sitting there without anything in it.

Game changer!  Every once in a while I want to shout from the roof tops when I find a new product, especially one that works just like you would hope it will. 

This project was just fun!  I saw a similar wreath at Hobby Lobby and while it probably cost me more to make it than to buy it with a coupon, I love a good challenge.

Lately I've been doing a lot of creating with painting techniques. I love recycling glass jars into something unique. Today I'm turning a glass jar from the kitchen into a beautiful cement vase.
