Writing this post made me realize that I sure have been BUSY this year and have completed A LOT of projects! I always seem to have something going on. Some of these projects were done without buying a thing, and simply using things from our own garage. So, without further ado, here are some of My Top and Most Viewed DIY Projects of 2020. I hope you enjoy! August DIY Challenge – DIY Driftwood Sailboat…
Here is yet ANOTHER trash to treasure makeover. A neighbor was getting rid of this cute half circle side table (as well as a few other fun things) so I grabbed it. In the past couple of months I have made some decent money making over and selling furniture that either myself, my husband, or friends find for me on the curb waiting for the garbage trucks (or waiting for someone like me to come…

Do you love succulents as much as I do? Over the weekend I made this cute DIY Dollar Tree Succulent Tower. It was super easy to make. I made this Monogram Succulent Garden a while ago, but was itching to make another project using succulents. The best part of this project? I was able to purchase everything at the Dollar Store (except the spray paint and sand, both of which I had in my garage).…
Last week I revealed my thrift store challenge pub table make over. It looks nice the way it is, but I thought I would kick it up a notch and add a stencil to the top. Stencilslab.com agreed to work with me on this project and sent me this amazing Mandala stencil! Isn’t it gorgeous? My table is 36 inches so I ordered the 20×20 inch size. Most of their stencils come as large as…
