Tweet!I have always loved the look of Weathervanes. And I was intrigued with the idea of making my own.

Tweet!It is hard to believe, but we are nearing the end of 2011. I decided to take a look back at the year and choose some of my top Diy Projects.

Tweet! I have come to the realization that there are two kinds of people in this world. The painters of wood. And the haters of the painters of wood. And the haters have very very very strong feelings about their cause. Either that – or there is simply a conspiracy against me personally, and anything I may want [...]

Tweet! It all started, as much inspiration does, with a picture. I had purchased 4 frames to use in an arrangement on my bedroom wall. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to put in them, until I saw this picture in my “100 decorating ideas under $100″ magazine. I loved these pictures. They used burlap [...]
