Dish for fun

Doing the dishes was never more fun. They say sinks, tubs and toilets do not belong in the yard, but it is fun to break the rules. Thank God we don't have an H.O.A in our neighborhood.

bench

These are great, it can be done with any wooden head and foot board. Paint or not it is fun and sturdy.
Paint any color. Makes a great play bench for children. We painted one white with big black cow spots on it.

Bathroom clutter

PVC pipe to clean up some of the clutter in the bathroom. It works for the back of a computer desk also. bundle up the wires and put them in the tubes. Neat is Sweet!

Tubs in the Garden

Now this is not me, but what a great Idea. and you can move the garden from season to season following the sun. Your soil stay rich and use the worm farm Idea for one tub to transfer worms to your other tubs from time to time to keep your garden healthy. Drainage is Very important. drill holes in the bottom of the tubs and use the coffee filters in a bottom layer or old panty hoes to keep the dirt in and let the water out. It will also keep out other creatures you don't want in your dirt.

Herb Garden.. Herb who?

Oh yes, the good old shoe holder... That never worked for shoes. Now there are a 101 ways to use these things. So how about out side the back door herb garden. Hang on a wood fence and move from season to season for the sun needs. Or on a sturdy trellas. Now this will get a little heavy after a rain but it works GREAT!

Stop the drips.

With the holidays on the way, we here in the south so alot of outside events. (at least we do at our house) This is a plastic coke bottle cut to fit the spicket. Then spray painted any color to match your event. The dog misses the Kool Aid but I don't miss the sticky floor.

Door way to nowhere

I always wanted a corner shelf. The ones I found were all to big. These all wood doors can be found at home salvage yards. We have one local called Laymens and they have some old teak wood doors from boats which are smaller. add your shelves and paint. I think that the door knob adds a fun look. Beware! do not try this with hollow doors. And be sure to anchor the shelf unit to the wall for safety.

Plant a tree in the living room

Here is how you can plant a tree in the living room. Just a little paint and 3 book shelves. Add some family photos and here is your "Family Tree"

Have an old Tool Box?

Have an old tool box? Well I do and they are easy to find, people throw them out all of the time. I think this one with the rust is kind of fun. The bright plastic ones don't rust and will hold up for a long time. With the addition of a couple of brackets for a book shelf and  a few holes in the bottom for drainage. I stick a coffee filter or two in the bottom to let out the water and keep in the dirt.
