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 am so absolutely thrilled with how this DIY planter box turned out. I finally used all the fence posts that I scavenged from my neighbors trash a couple of year’s ago….sniff. I love the mix of old weathered wood with fresh rich stained tones. This planter is huge coming in at 7 1/2 feet long. It makes a huge impact as you walk up to my door and I love seeing some color on my porch area.

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.
I have seen some vintage dish and plate flowers on Pinterest and thought making my own from some inexpensive Dollar Tree glassware and glass paint would add a pop of pizazz to my yard this Spring. 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.
