Then, while out on one of my hunting trips, I saw this one at the thrift store and for some reason I walked over to it and starting thinking. I told myself I had to stop looking at it for… Read More

Garage Storage: Organize Your Garage

Leave a Comment

Garage storage!!! I have been on a roll with organization posts and today, we are talking about garage storage.  Our garage functions for many things. It is the place we park our two cars, but it is also our work shop when we have projects to complete. Since our garage has a lot of jobs to hold, we have to be persistent about keeping it organized.

Canvas drop cloths are inexpensive and you can make so many things out of them. I have used them for so many projects around our home; from curtains and throw pillows to Christmas decorations and placemats. I even hired a lady to recover a beautiful chair I picked up at a yard sale with a drop cloth. The drop cloth looks beautiful on the chair. It is one of my favorite pieces in our home. Since drop cloth projects are very popular, I wanted to put together a post packed full of DIY projects you can do with them. As… Read More

How To Make DIY Lanterns From Scrap Wood

2 Comments

Lanterns come in all shapes and sizes. They are also made out of all kinds of material. I love every one I have seen, but the wood lanterns are my favorite. I feel like they are more timeless. They won’t go out of style. They will always look good in our home (even when I want to change things up, which happens more often than not). When I started seeing lanterns in stores that I loved, I took photos of them and studied them because I knew we could make them at home. We have made a few different lanterns… Read More
