Wood Pallet Garden Rack with Bonus Storage

Wood Pallet Garden Rack Hanging Planter with Bonus Storage Several years ago, I made a pallet rack.  It was amazing, if I do say so.🙂 First, it was a wall rack for hats and gloves.  If you’ve never seen it, check it out! Then it became a bathroom storage organizer. It’s getting a new look and task now as a wood pallet garden planter with hooks for bonus organization!

Secret Garden Patio Reveal

Secret Garden Patio Reveal This is a long overdue post about my secret garden patio.  I had a ton of photos to go through but limited them to less than a dozen.  I hope you enjoy it! When I last showed you my plans for a secret garden patio, it looked like this.

DIY Gazebo Succulent Hanging Planter

DIY Gazebo Succulent Hanging Planter On Thursday it was a beautiful day until a storm started brewing bringing 50-mile-per-hour winds.  It was the middle of the afternoon, but it was so dark it looked like evening.  The sky looked kind of creepy but beautiful as well.  I was hunkered down out in my workroom (which was formerly my guest house) working on a couple of projects.  The wind was howling outside, but I continued working away knowing it would soon {Read More}

We don’t have a small window inside the guest house so my husband had to {Read More}

Several years ago, my husband and I turned a farmhouse sink that had been in our house when we moved in into a potting bench.  It looked like this (see more  about it HERE).

My Plans for a Secret Garden Patio in Unused Yard Space

My Plans for a Secret Garden Patio in Unused Yard Space It’s a good thing the back of our garage isn’t visible to anyone except us, because it’s an embarrassing sight. It’s a junk storage zone, complete with two huge antique windows, a gas can, a broken bike, a broken storm door, some sheet metal, two kayaks, and lots of trash. If you stand on the side of my guest house, right in front of my garden with my vintage {Read More}
