Last month Matt showed you all how to build a decorative shelf with crown molding for our half bath. The shelf is perfect for the space and I love it. Unfortunately something felt like it was missing from the shelf. After some thought I decided that our shelf needed picture frames! Beadboard picture frames to be exact.
Today I am going to show you how to DIY your own beadboard picture frames! Read more
Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week, but better yet I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
I have a fun little multi-purpose project for you today. I’m going to show you how to make this adorable little picket fence planter basket. You can use it as a planter. You can use it as a fun home décor item or you can fill it with glass beads or rocks and use it as a pencil caddy! Don’t you love versatility?
Best of all, the materials are inexpensive. The fence border section was under $5! And you can use leftover paint if you want. Or you can try out Valspar’s new emerald color. I’ve been seeing that color pop up all over the design world. (Lowe’s provided me with a gift card to give that new Valspar paint color a whirl.) Read more
Garden gnomes are the cute little guardian angels that watch over our homes. And sometimes they get a bit neglected.
In our case the poor fella was beaten up a bit by string trimming and the sun.
So today I’m going to share how you can fix any small holes or cracks and repaint your gnome so that it looks like new. These tips will also work with other garden decor that you’d like to repair.
Here are the supplies you need
This is a pretty fun project and the kids can participate, too.
Let’s get to it 🙂
Jacque, my wife, and the other half of The DIY Village has been kindly reminding me that I promised to make her a decorative shelf for our downstairs half bathroom. She only had a few requests. She asked that I incorporate crown molding into the shelf, along with some hardware to hang hand towels. As luck would have it, she found some scrap wood and crown molding that I had left over from a recent project! Since I already had the materials, I couldn’t find a good excuse to put the project off any longer! So I set out to make a decorative shelf with crown molding!

The easy part of this project was constructing the actual shelving unit. Read more
Last week I replaced our kitchen window with a new casement window. It’s beautiful and I’m in love. But, I feel bad for the old window.
The window is sitting neglected and abandoned beside our house. Whenever I walk by, it begs me for a transformation. I’m thinking I could make any one of these ideas with the old window! Read more
