How to Grow Grass from Seed in Florida Like a Pro

May 17, 2018

So you’re on the quest for a lush green lawn? Join the club.  Green grass is like a passage of rites in the neighborhood.  And I found a shortcut to get it. Now I’ll tell you upfront, you will have to work for it, but it’s a fast track to grow grass from seed in Florida sandy soil.

Why Luxury Vinyl Tile is Best for Your Kitchen

May 10, 2018

The vanilla kitchen got new shoes. I (well, a friend) installed wood-look luxury vinyl tile planks right over the 1980s beige ceramic floors and umm. LOOOOK!!! I can’t even wait until the end to show you the pictures. You’ve just got to see it to believe what a CA-RAY-ZEE difference it made in updating this little abode of mine. So good right?

If you’re looking to up the ante in your outdoor patio or porch décor making a solar table lamp will do the trick. This easy DIY project takes less than an hour to put together for a really sophisticated update to your ehh garden. I recently refreshed our outdoor front porch/door décor.

How to Make a Stunning Spring Wreath

April 12, 2018

Nothing says welcome like a beautiful brightly colored wreath on your front door. And the great thing about wreaths is that they’re easy to make yourself. When I first decided to put a non-seasonal wreath on my door, I really wanted to just buy it. For whatever reason, I had no mojo to make one. Until I saw the prices. I didn’t care for the pre-made wreaths I found at JoAnn’s or ... View Post
