Here’s a DIY project to ponder and noodle on for a moment: transform those foam floaties into fun flowers for your next family function or neighborhood gathering!  You won’t need to think about it too long before you start because they are so easy to create and add a pop of color to any space—indoors or out!

A charming but tired side table gets the royal beauty treatment in this week’s DIY project.  Poured paint in purple, grays and blues then combed in a wavy, flowing manner gives a dreamy, ethereal feel. This combed paint technique has been around for centuries, often to mimic wood grain.  However, bright colors make this timeless process look contemporary, creative and cool.  This was an inexpensive because it used paints already on-hand but the result of a priceless masterpiece!

With Mother’s Day just days away, here are five easy and earth-friendly DIY gifts we know the Mother-like figure in your life will love.  In addition to being fun, these projects are also good for your budget when you pick up items at Goodwill.  Also, reusing and repurposing things keeps them out of landfills which is good for our beloved planet.  

Part ballerina, part princess, all adorable!  A small, upholstered side chair gets a starring role makeover that puts it center stage for a charm-filled performance. Try this fun and easy DIY project one time and you, too, will say it’s “tutu cute!”

Spring is here, so more and more gatherings, events, and celebrations are happening outdoors.  This means it’s time to refresh our porches, patios, and decks.  In blues and greens, a set of rusty metal side tables get a new look just in time for Earth Day 2022, held on April 22.  Find your good by accessorizing your space with items in nature’s colors, too.  Repurposing items and reusing pieces help to keep them out of landfills, so shopping at Goodwill is great for Mother Nature—-and great for your wallet, too!
