Gift Box for the Porch

My sister had gotten me a very nice Sweet Pea gift set from Bath & Body Works as a Maid of Honor gift that came in a very nice box. So nice that I couldn't justify throwing it away.

Yes, I have become my Grandmother. And while it is a very nice box, it is also a very pink box. I do like pink, but most of my home decorating is more of the cool purple, green & teal variety. So I decided to make it suit the enclosed porch. First I had to prime it, and I used a spray primer from Rustoleum.

Paint Chip Artworks

If you have had a lot of painting projects like me, then you have quite a few paint chips sitting around. This is a cool way to use some of them, instead of throwing them away, or letting them sit around in piles. I got the idea for this project from Mel the Crafty Scientist, using paint chips (samples) to make a fun easy piece of art.

I have FINALLY utilized the old pavers

It is a steamy 91 degrees in the Metro Detroit area, so I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to do some yard work. The original owner of my house had at some point purchased a large amount of pavers. However, they had also only used about a third of them in one flower bed.

My New Old Clock

I got the idea for this from Caitlin over at Caits Creates about this clock redo. It was super simple, and only took about 30 minutes. My clock is a basic Target clock, for $12.99.
