I want to be the first to introduce you to Tricia from Simplicity in the South.  She is one of my new contributors and today is her big debut on Infarrantly Creative.  When I saw her blog and her amazing style I reached out to her and begged her to be part of my team.  I think you will realize quick how talented she is and you will want to spend some time over at her house checking out her projects.

Outdoor Deck Lighting

Last year I spent so much time stripping and staining our deck, updating our outdoor furniture and creating a nice ambiance out there with our firepit table.  However, when the kids would go to bed and Tim and I would sit out there the outdoor patio light was harsh and bright.  So I decided to add some deck lighting with some rope lights from Lowes to create a relaxing environment in the evenings.

I built another project off of Ana White’s site. The cedar planter plan was one of the easiest builds for me. I am slowly building up my carpentry skills to tackle some new end tables for my living room.  I was surprised at how quickly it came together.

Garden Art

I have seen some vintage dish and plate flowers on Pinterest and thought making my own from some inexpensive Dollar Tree glassware and Deco Art glass paint would add a pop of pizazz to my yard. These are so easy to make and it is really hard to screw it up.  You don’t need to have painting experience to make this garden art.  Just a few swooshes with a paint brush and some glue and you are all set.

Stenciled Outdoor Rug

I am not the first nor the last to stencil a rug.  It is such a cheap way to make a graphic impact in a seating area.  The girls from East Coast Creative guest posted here on their stenciled outdoor rug.  After I hit publish I immediately went and bought the $18 indoor/outdoor rug from Home Depot.  Add in three cans of spray paint and some fabric sealer and I have finally completed my outdoor living area.

Outdoor Fabric Pillows

I have been searching high and low for outdoor pillows that I love.  This isn’t an easy task when you are picky and have a certain color scheme in mind.  I finally found some fabric I adored online and was able to go see it in person at Calico Corners. At $27.99 a yard I {…Read More…}





Outdoor Coffee Table

fire pit table

Last Monday I showed you how I restored our fire pit by adding some new sheet metal to the ash pan and spray painting it.  I realized that we barely use our fire pit – especially in the summer.  Not only that but we currently have a burn ban going on in my county so {…Read More…}
