Hanging Tire Flower Planters Just had to share my husband’s latest trash to treasure project. I can’t say that old tires are items that get my mind to clicking when considering new trash to treasure projects, but I kinda dig this idea. I had a tractor tire for a sandbox when I was little and […]

Flower Bed Fencing Wall Decor I have never used this fencing for it’s original intent, but I had lots of it in my stash when we packed and moved. My husband and kids were going to throw it out, but I just couldn’t do it. I had me some ideas in my head. 😉 Since […]

Tin Patriotic Flags
Tin Patriotic Flags I have lots of scrap galvanized roofing tin in storage. I usually cut it to size and attach it to things without painting it, but I have become so inspired by Shelly at MinettesMaze. I had no illusions that my painting would look anything like hers.

Rustic Window Lath Flags
Rustic Window Lath Flags I love old windows, even the ones that are missing glass. I had two like the one above. Actually, one window still had one pane still intact. It was easily removed. 😉 Yep, I’m fearless that way. I decided to turn them into American flags just in time for the Fourth […]

Country Rag Boa Wreath You may have seen this wreath in my dining room post. It was the perfect addition to the screen door. Who says wreaths have to be round? This picture frame inspired another outside-the-box project. Bits of cutter quilt scraps left over from previous projects were the perfect medium to create a […]
Western Revival If anything needed revived, it was this nightstand. The paint color and application was…um…interesting. Now I can’t say I don’t like green, after all, I just used a similar shade on the eaves of my shutter birdhouses, but this shade did not appeal to me. Actually I cursed this awful paint color as […]

Signs-Patriotic & Then Some
Signs-Patriotic & Then Some Never one to throw out anything, it was no surprise that I saved the little scraps of siding from the repair on our old garage. I had a few other boards that I had also been hoarding, so I used both board types for signs. A red, white and blue patriotic […]
