DIY Napkins – with flamingo flare!
Are you ready for summer? I. AM. SO. READY! In my part of Canada the weather in April fluctuated from snow and freezing rain to a balmy 25° C (77° F) – so we really haven’t had Spring at all. More like Win-ummer and the sudden change has left me pining for patio time. With […]
Pot feet / Planter feet
So we’ve all heard of “pot heads” right? Either in the form of marijuana smokers or those ugly chia seed heads that are advertised at Christmas – but have you heard of pot feet? Little stands to keep your garden pots off of your deck or floor. I came across pot feet a couple of […]
One Room Challenge – the REVEAL! (Home Gym / Theatre Room)

It’s week 4 of the challenge and I am thrilled to say that all of my “heavy lifting” for my parent’s basement makeover is done! By heavy lifting I mean the big jobs that give the greatest “bang for your buck” in their home gym / theatre room makeover. This week I’m going to show […]
