DIY Simple Oatmeal Canister Pampas Grass Vase

Being a maker means I’m always holding onto things. Good looking coffee cans? I’ll repurpose them in the shop. Toilet paper rolls? I’ll turn those puppies into binoculars before you can even bat an eye. We go through a LOT of oatmeal in this house between cookies, granola bars, and breakfasts, and those containers get used for a lot of storage. If you double them up, they also happen to be the perfect shape and height for a decorative vase of dried Pampas Grass.

DIY: Simple Rustic Mail Organizer

The need for organization to help a household run smoothly is paramount. The need for organization in a household where there are people working from home, schooling from home, and still trying to RUN a home is critical. Piles begin accumulating and before you know it, a bill or important school paper gets lost in the mix. Introducing a mail organizer was a huge help for our household, and making it a cute rustic piece didn’t hurt!

DIY: Building a Simple TV Stand Bookshelf

The furniture suite we have in our Master Bedroom has belonged to my husband since he was a kid and I’m crazy about it. It’s built with solid pieces of 2×3 lumber and stained a lovely shade of Walnut. It’s sturdy and timeless, and I recently discovered, very expensive to purchase! We needed a piece for the room that would function as both a TV stand and a Bookshelf, and when I began looking for something to match the rest of our furniture, I couldn’t believe the sticker shock.

DIY: Re-Canvassing Vintage Deck Chairs

My sister spotted these gorgeous Vintage Deck Chairs in my Dad’s Barn last Summer and I’m so glad she salvaged them for me! They had scraps of the original seat canvas BARELY holding on, but, the frames on them still seemed pretty sturdy. I have looked these chairs up on line and most of the ones I’ve found for sale run anywhere between $150 – $300. They seemed a bit intimidating at first, but, these are actually the simplest DIY I’ve tackled all Summer while we Update our Patio.

DIY: Concrete Stain Faux Paver Patio

When we first began house hunting, the top thing on my list was a covered front porch. When we found our home, however, the lack of front porch was completely overlooked for the amazing views we got from our back patio. The only setback was the plain boring concrete slab.
