This is a super easy and quick DIY project. I spent WAY more time shopping online for a cool indoor hanging planter before I gave up and decided to make my own. What you’ll need is: • About 150 ft. natural macrame cord (that is on the generous side) • Your own pot. My pot…
This is definitely the easiest DIY project to date on this site! I love to eat strawberries. Did you know that strawberries are number one on the dirty dozen list? The dirty dozen list is the annual ranking of conventionally grown produce with the most pesticide residues. Strawberries are little pesticide sponges, so buy organic!…
We had a 2-seater square pub table from our old house that didn’t fit in our new house. I didn’t want it to completely go to waste, so I brainstormed how to make it work. I decided a bar pushed up against the wall in our basement would work perfectly in our “gaming” area with…
I picked this grandfather clock up from Craigslist for $10 and repurposed it into a bathroom storage cabinet! It was a simple and moderately time-consuming project that took me about 10 hours spread over the course of a week. The clock was in non-working condition and wasn’t very high quality to begin with; but it had…
My repurposed headboard bench was totally lonely without pillows, and I finally got around to it! I love things that are personalized. When I saw these pillows buzzing around Etsy and Pinterest, I knew I had to design and make my own. Special note: I Googled the coordinates of my house and used them on the pillows.…
This year I decided to try my hand at vegetable/fruit/herb gardening. Last year I made this wall planter and I managed to keep (most of) it alive until the end of fall. That gave me enough confidence to try to start a few things from seed. So, enter this small kitchen counter pipe shelving unit project!…
‘Tis that time of year. The weather starts to warm up and my mind starts going a mile a minute. I need to paint the garage, build a raised vegetable garden bed (I know nothing about gardening, this should be an interesting summer), repurpose a grandfather clock into bathroom storage, make acrylic mirrors for the playroom, build…
My mom was an amazing quilter and I have several she made that I cherish and display. I love quilts and can appreciate the tiny details and huge amounts of time that go into them. When I found several unfinished handmade vintage quilt tops at an estate sale for only a few dollars, I snatched…
My son has in-home ABA therapy 5 days a week for 2 hours. His therapist asked for gates to prevent him from running during sessions. In my dream world, I would hire a contractor and have them install a pocket gate/door. But in real life I had to come up with something cheap, something easy to…
Today I made a quick and easy set of sensory smell jars for my two boys (ages 1 and 3). I am always trying to find fun sensory things for them to do, especially for my 3 year old who has autism. He is hyposensitive (opposite of hypersensitive) which means he requires more stimulation to…
I really hate sports, but I really love my husband. So for our garage, I put my own personal tastes aside and made this for him. He is originally from Ohio, but now lives in Michigan. Fingers crossed we don’t forget to close the garage door and get egged. He wanted to make the laundry room a…
We adopted a dog from the Humane Society a month ago. Her name is Zoey! She is a beagle / german shepherd mix. I am obsessed with her. Before we even got a dog my husband made the rule “no dogs on the bed.” So I knew I had to make her the coolest bed…
