Here is the finished project, ice chest turned raised bed. I took a very different approach from the last one, but I can honestly say I like them both. Now I gotta go and get some potting soil and plant some herbs.

Here is last night's project. I positioned it in front of a mirror in my yard, allowing me to view both the front and back simultaneously. What do you think?

Hello dear friends, there is a change of plans. We will work on the ice chest tomorrow, due to repairs taking longer than anticipated. But let’s get crafty on a different project, hope to see you all at 7:00 central🥰

Here is the old wood panel we worked on the other night. I did sand off some more paint after the video to distress it more and to show of some of the original wood. The sign I got at Dollar tree. I did plant my baby hastas in it, but some bright Marigolds would look lovely too. Let me know what you think.

This old headboard has always held a special place in my heart. When we built our new bed, I couldn't bring myself to let it go. So I found a new use for it as a trellis, and now it's thriving. But now I'm wondering if painting it black would have elevated it. What do you think, friends? Should I paint it? Share your thoughts

I found an old ice chest on the curb, which boasted an unpleasant brown color. It required a thorough refurbishment. I embellished it with a summer theme in mind and transformed it into a raised bed garden. Moreover, it can be adapted into a cold frame by simply positioning a window on top. I welcome your thoughts on this renovation and whether you would employ it as a raised bed. 🤗

One of my little chics is sick, her crop is enlarged and she doesn’t seem well. Massaging the crop got some gunk out, but we aren’t over the hill yet🙃

This is my front door wreath. I made the wreath from the vines in my yard, added a blue bow for a splash of color, and matched the flowers to my repurposed chair. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted it on the front door or the wall on my front porch, either one looked great, but I thought the front door is more welcoming 😊
