    Furnishing your home and garden does not have to be expensive. Whether upcycling thrift store finds, re-imagining something you already own or building something brand new completely from scratch, if you do the work yourself you will be able to redecorate more often (and who doesn't like that) and for a lot less money (double high five on that one).

    In my family growing up, you just rolled up your sleeves and got to work. And I've brought a lot of that spirit into my own home.

    Some of my favorite and most popular projects are my DIY Industrial Pipe Shelves, DIY Wood Slice Owl and How To Make Winter Porch Pots.

    If you enjoy thrift store repurposes, you'll like How To Make A Penny Bowling Ball (photos aren't much to look at, but it's a great spring project for your garden), DIY Earring Holder and DIY No-Sew Shirt Pillow Tutorial .

    And if you enjoy gardening related DIY projects, my Homemade Squirrel Repellent Recipe, DIY Birdseed Suet Cakes and Container Gardening Made Easy are winners.
