I trash-dove this morning.
Okay not really into the trash and I didn’t really “dive” – more like I snuck a plastic jug from my friend’s recycling.
After you see what I did with it, you’re going to go in search of recycling to pilfer as well.
I’ll start with the need, so you know where I’m coming from;
that is how my children store their goggles – thrown over the edge of the pool […]
This is going to be a short post today – I mean, what more can I say than “drawer shelf” for you to know the entirety of the project?
I’ve had this drawer sitting in my garage for months. I was going to make a butler’s table, I was going to use it for a small herb garden, I was going to use it to store pillows or a couple of blankets… but I never got around to any of those.
Are you starting to get the feeling that my backyard beautification goals are never-ending?
I’m sorry, I can’t help myself – my backyard is far and away my favourite room of our house. I love the sunshine, fresh air and chillaxing while the kids run wild playing or swimming. I love that there is almost no clean-up required before or after hosting friends – tidy is just a garden hose away. I love that friends swing by on a whim and we […]
This post was a $h!t-show of errors, but in the end I managed to repurpose this old dresser mirror into a beautiful garden mirror.
I could have hung this dresser mirror in the garden as-is; there really are no rules for garden mirrors, the idea is just to bring a little more light, and a bit of […]
One of my favourite things to do is to repurpose or upcycle pieces into something new and better – and this upcycled patio bar cart is one of my favourite transformations ever!
My friend Andy had this old overhead projector cart tucked away in a deep, dark corner of his garage.
He offered it […]
Turn a damaged, dated and dirty headboard into a gorgeous garden bench with Rust-Oleum® Canada.
This project is limited only by your imagination – you can pick up any headboard and footboard (matching or otherwise), in any size from crib to king and paint it in any colour under the rainbow (or paint it like a rainbow if you like) to create a gorgeous upcycled headboard garden bench!
First up, scour your basement, your parents’ basement, garage sales and thrift […]
The photos, and this post itself, is an oldie – but given that the number of ‘screens’ in this house has only increased, it seemed a good time to revisit our original iPad charging station solution.
Not to make redundant the USB outlets I installed last week, but instead to show you an easier and cheaper way to corral cords and electronics, I give you my brilliant (and cheap) iPad charging station…
from a magazine holder!

Ikea carries a small dresser – just about the size of a large nightstand – called the Rast. It’s an insanely popular product on Pinterest for both the price ($35 US, $49 Cdn) and for the million-and-one ways people have “hacked” it (aka – changed it from boring to BLAM!)
I have a craft room update on my mind, and in searching out affordable options I came across these gorgeous (and brilliant) Ikea Rast hacks that I had to share.
I’ve meant to share this post for about 3 years now and never have, but with Christmas just around the corner comes the urge to spoil your fur baby.
Stores are showcasing pet clothes, toys, treats and beds with the same abundance that you’d find these things for your kids…
I’m going to do you one better…
I am going to show you the very BEST dog bed you can get, and it’s cheap (if not free).
I love Pottery Barn.
Everyone loves Pottery Barn right?
But if you’re reading this (a DIY) blog, then you’re probably in the same boat as I am and don’t really want to pay Pottery Barn prices for projects that seem completely DIY-able.
Like these decorative wooden buoys for instance:
Whew! They’re on sale right now.
On sale for $35 USD for the set…. still seems hefty when I have all […]
