I've been pestering my husband for weeks to put the new door chain on and all I've got is I will do it tomorrow! Well I've done it myself us women are just as good as you men when it comes to DIY. Feeling proud girl power.

All school cafeterias should do this!!
“Students who buy lunches may place unwanted and unopened food on this ice tray. If other students are still hungry after they finish their own lunches, they may choose one item from the share bin. This simple process reduces waste and makes tummies full.”

Very nice 😍

My Lithops bloomed right before my eyes!! It was such a unique thing to watch! 😍 I saw the bud on Sunday evening + by Wednesday afternoon it bloomed. I noticed that the flower closes at night + opens back up in the day.

Pallet Wood - DIY!!!!! 🪵🎨🍷❤️
I’m going to try and make this but instead, I’m going to use a few leftover ceramic tiles that I have instead of bricks for the top to make a smoother surface. Cheers!! 🥂

Nice 🥰🥰

My daughter who is only 16 found this desk at an estate sale for 60$ and asked me if she could buy it and refurbish it. I was skeptical at first but gave in. She worked on it for several weeks and it turned out amazing. I think she has a future in repurposing furniture !😉

Please don't criticize me, I made a patchwork quilt, many think it's tacky but I really liked it.😍

Planting Pots In Pots: Bury containers in the ground and insert other containers with plants in them. 🪴🪴👇
Reasons to Use the Pot-in-a-Pot Method:
1. Change out annuals in the summer.
2. Experiment with arrangements and test lighting requirements for different plants.
3. Keep blooms going all spring, summer, and fall by changing plants.
4. Move houseplants to outdoor beds for the summer and back in for the winter.
5. Secure plants in the ground and protect against wind.
6. Easily replace dead plants.
7. Have better control over temperature, fertilizer, and water.

Great idea 😍Everyone

This year I did not have the means, money, time, or skills to build my own boxes. There was no way I was going without a garden so I came up with this idea. Some may call it redneck, but I call it being resourceful, like my Appalachian roots have taught me

Shimmering Backyard Garden Ideas

Love this 😍 Everyone 🤩

Every year, I have a Northern Mockingbird make her nest on my front porch on one of my many plant racks. Last year, she made her nest on my tall baker's rack. One of her babies fell thru the wire rack and landed in my staghorn fern cedar box. I carefully returned him to the nest, which made her very happy. This year, while potting my plants, she began her nest on the same rack. As she sat on my porch railing, I sat and quietly talked to her and asked if she could please please, make her nest on the opposite rack that holds all my succulents and cacti, as I don't have to water them often. She'd placed only two small twigs on my pothos rack, which I carefully moved to my cacti rack. Then as always, I put out a small dish of water and birdseed for her. My husband thinks I've been in the sun too long, having a conversation with a Mockingbird. This morning I woke to this.

My favorite pot I've ever owned.

I painted my bathroom cabinets- the last picture is with the tile replaced - I used one coat house paint in matte finish- the lighting is off a little in the middle photo- the color is grayish blue ✅

I dug this out of a burn pile. I turned it upside down, added a shelf, wood, painted with blackboard paint. Painted and distressed, and added some coat hooks.

My personal fave and best bit of revamping for an ugly telephone seat.
