Upgraded an old rusted garden chandelier - this might be the easiest DIY project I have ever done. I included a 'how to' guide, but it hardly needs any instruction. Skill Level: Beginner ![]() Made from mostly reused materials.

This table top used to be an old vintage door, which was cool, but not very practical. My kids have a knack for crumbs and the panels of the door were great for storing them - gross. So we refinished the top. It’s a quick and easy update for a variety of table bases.
Skill Level: Beginner Anyone have a backyard littered with kids toys? We do. Then I got a big ugly tub to put them in, but that filled up and also looked terrible. So we built this deck box – looks great, holds (and hides) all the toys! It would also work great to store cushions or garden supplies.
Skill Level: Intermediate I love the Gleaming Primrose Mirror from Anthropologie, but not the price. Rather than spending the money, I thought I would try my hand at a DIY makeover on a second-hand mirror I found on Kijiji. I could not find the right size, but liked the shape of this one, so I took the bold step of also resizing it. I have never cut glass, so I thought this project was doomed for a Pinterest Fail, but I was happily surprised at how it turned out. Best part - it cost a tenth of the one from Anthropologie! Skill Level: Intermediate ![]() Made from some reused material We are backyard people. We LOVE our outdoor space, and soak it up any chance we get! We needed a table that could host more people, but still left movement for play. Cannot wait to share great food and even better wine around this table!
Skill Level: Intermediate. IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME! And there is nothing I love more than cozy holiday decorations. Our now family of 4 (5 counting the dog) needed a few more stocking to hang by the fireplace with care. I found some GREAT fabrics – with stockings I think the more textures the better! Details below.
Skill level: Beginner I have said this before, but I will say it again, I love French design. I especially love the opulence of French Provincial furniture. So when I found this piece second hand I had to have it! All it needed was a little love and a new life. Here is the before and after: Skill Level: beginner to Intermediate ![]() Made from mostly reused materials I made this fun VW pillow to go with baby #2's "adventure" themed nursery. It's great for babies - soft with lots of textures and features to look it. It could also be done in so many colours or patterns.
