I can look back on this DIY and laugh…
now.
At the time it was a total shit show and entirely my fault. I thought I could “build off the cuff” without plans or even a vision of what I wanted.
Don’t do that folks. At least have a vision.
The problem I was trying to solve was that my derriere is too large for the manufacturer’s pool ladder that comes with the Intex pool.
Considerably larger.
Yes, I could have shimmied myself sideways through it […]
This post is what I would call serendipitous.
There were two bits of fate that aligned at the same time that insisted I make my own charcuterie board.
The first was that a FAVOURITE blogger of mine – Kelly Nan – showed a gorgeous patio tablescape the other day that included a scrumptious looking cheese board from Pottery Barn.
The second bit of fate was that it was about that same time that I came across a contest for Ryobi North where […]
Chalkboards seem to be all-the-rage now – people are trimming anything and everything with chalkboard paint to create message boards, labels, jar lids, gift tags – you name it and it’s probably had a coating of chalkboard paint to make it better.
Our backyard playground / treehouse is no exception – but where do you find a 3′ x 4′ chalkboard to fit this tall expanse of wall?

I think this is so cute, I had to share.
As you may know I was left with an astronomical amount of pvc pipe after a failed spray paint tent project the other week, so I have racked my brain to come up with ideas to put it to good use.
Last weekend some of my daughter’s friends came over and we made the pvc jewelry stands from this post. While the girls and I were working, some of the neighbourhood […]
Nesting tables seem to be a rarity at thrift stores and garage sales? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an old set available for refinishing?
My search began because I found this picture on BirchLane.com
I love the detailing in the ironwork, but at $230 US (down from $420), they are a tad out of my price range.
A week or so after saving this photo to drool over, […]
Build an American Girl Doll (or other 18″ doll) DIY dollhouse / DIY treehouse to keep the imagination going outside.
I don’t have plans for this build. I can make plans, but first I’d like to gauge how many of you would like them before I go to the effort to draw them up. If you want plans for this DIY American Girl Doll treehouse, leave me a comment at the bottom of this post and if enough are interested, I’ll […]

Low on space, but high on “stuff” – try this easy garage shelving to increase your storage capacity and organize your space.
My garage is my workshop.
When I say “my” garage I mean the half of our two-car garage that I’ve filled with tools, wood, furniture and paint.
The other half is “his garage” – the half that he parks his car in.
As much as I try to push the boundaries and spread my stuff across the line (the seam in the concrete that […]
