July 20th, 2010 at 04:03pm Under Home Decor and Design+ Painting

The creation and decorating of outdoor living spaces has become a very hot trend in the last few years — it’s not just sandwiches at the picnic table or a grill and some lawn chairs on the deck anymore.

How to paint a gazing ball or transform a bowling ball: garden crafts

July 7th, 2010 at 09:38pm Under Garden Craft+ Painting

I ran across this Whimsical Recycled Garden Art a while ago and was instantly enamored! It made me wonder what other kind of garden crafts you could make to transform a yard if you didn’t have the greenest of thumbs (like me).

I have five nieces and two nephews. Some of you may already know that, but I love them so much. Only four of them live in the same state as me…actually, right down the street from me, while the other three live in Minnesota. Any way, whenever they come to the house I always want [...]

It’s here! It’s here! Today is finally a nice day! Although it’s supposed to rain for the next few days or so, at least you can get some outdoor work done in between. The rain is taking care of your lawn, turning it green and making sure it’s fed just enough to look great this [...]

Spring and summer are the perfect times to redecorate your house or even your child’s room. Kids can often get bored easily and want to change the look of their room.

Paint Swatch No Longer for Painting

So my fiance and I are looking at getting our first home together. We haven’t gone to any open houses yet, but we’ve been looking online. Our friend has his own house and is re-doing his bathrooms. So we went into Home Depot the other day and came across the paint area. Of course I [...]

Organic Painting

December 29th, 2008 at 05:16pm Under Green Crafting+ Painting
