Ikea Mini Drawers

Everyone knows they buy unfinished furniture from Ikea.

Well, in this post I am going to tell you about a woman called Claire from United Kingdom that had a mini drawer that she had bought unfinished and completed it in a really strange way!

She didn’t use complex tools for her project.

This thing took her only one hour easy work.

So, Claire had bought a mini drawer and it had sat in the back of her craft cupboard for 10 years waiting to be finished.

This mini drawer was really handy and she decided to finish it.

It was time to display it and she settled to finish it.

How she made it – let’s read!

Reusing scrap wood

Leanne Lee is a woman from Kansas City, Mo.

She loves decorating her home and reused everything.

In this post that woman showed us how she made wood lanterns with scrap wood.

At the end she managed to build an amazing outdoor decor which became a focus point in her yard.

Leanne did these items with 2x4s from pallets.

These lanterns can also be used for home decoration.

The lantern on the left side of the picture was made out of pallet 2×4 scraps.

And if you read the whole post you can see this project doesn’t require much hard work.

Old windows for free.

A woman from Chicago, IL, transformed a pile of old chippy windows into amazing framed art windows without paying a cent for it.

It took her only 30 minutes easy work.

She saw an adon Craigslist, took 6 pane windows and used one of them as a frame for her set of botanical rose prints.

Kim started with a good cleaning and after that she sanded it by hand.

She used a piece of coarse grid sandpaper.

Kim didn’t know what kind of paint was use to paint, so she prepared her with a proper respirator.

On the picture above Kim showed us how the old windows looked

HOSTA – non-exuberant but extremely decorative

At least one type of hosta should be in each garden, recommend gardeners specialists. Because around it, and with it, one can achieve such a decorative effect as it is obtained with a few plants.

Gardeners and landscape profesionalists love working with hostas because they are non-demanding for growth factors, beautiful and cold-resistant, equally well developed in shade and in bright sun and perfectly combined with most ornamental plants.
If you have an old plant, again in the spring – in April, you can divide the tuft and plant the hostas.

The division of tufa is recommended to be done in 4-5 years in spring or autumn because otherwise the plant grows excessively.

Planted young plants in the first year need regular watering.

The hosts develop well on wet, rich, neutral or slightly acidic soils.
Rhonda from Muscatine, IA talked us how she propagated hostas in her garden.

The inspiration

Sara is a woman from Anchorage, AK, who managed to transform a simple and coast folding table into a beautiful and comfortable dining table.

On the picture above she showed us a table which costs over $3000 and it was her inspiration.

Sara saw some banquet folding tables in the free section on Craigslist and got them to use for the massive garage sale she and her husband were going to have in a few months.

Sara has thought about these tables and has wondered if there was a way to make one dining-room-worthy.

Finally she decided to just go for it.
