SPRAY PAINTING YOUR GARDEN POTS
05/05/2023
I shared last week on my Instagram stories how I refreshed my old garden pots and urns to make them look bran new again. I thought it was worth a spot on the blog, as well. Spray paint can jooj up anything including old garden pots. Would you guess the pot below is four years old? Here is the before and after a new coat of spray paint last weekend. The urn below used to be brown. I purchased it probably 12 years ago or more. You can see here it was looking worn at our old house when this photo was taken in 2013. When we moved to our house now, I spray painted it black and it looks like it’s ready for another 12 years of use. To touch up my pots, I simply use a stiff broom to remove any dirt and then spray paint. Be...

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING
05/02/2023
With Cinco de Mayo coming up in a few days, it’s time to get prepared by making our own clean homemade taco seasoning. I like to make multiple batches at a time and store it in an airtight jar so it’s on hand whenever I need it. It can be stored for up to a year so make plenty and never have to worry about running to the grocery store for a packet of taco seasoning again. When making your own homemade taco seasoning, don’t be afraid to adjust the ingredients and measurements to your liking. For instance, I am not a fan or oregano or spicy/hot so I omit the oregano and red pepper flakes from my seasoning. If you really like pepper, add more. Can’t do salt? Don’t add it. Play around until you have perfected the perfect mixture for you. Then make plenty to last all...

DIY DISTRESSED WOODEN RISERS
04/28/2023
Several years back I made wooden risers from scrap pine leftover from our trim and baseboards. I made plenty for myself plus enough to give to family as gifts. And it only took about an hour. I used 1″x4″ pine but the look and size can be varied by using different widths and lengths of wood. For those that don’t have scrap on hand or can’t cut it to the desired lengths, a piece of wood can be purchased from a hardware store and most stores will cut the wood to desired lengths. For the feet, I used whatever scrap I could find. Some pieces were 1″ x 2″ and others were 2″x2″. Feet can be glued with wood glue, tacked with brad nails or both. The next step is to distress the wood. Beat it with a hammer. Hit it with a chain. Use a jigsaw to make...
