DIY PLA LANTERS YOU CAN MAKE THI WEEKE THIS END Classic planters will never go out of style, but there are so many ways to get creative and give your plant and flower pots a unique twist. DIY doesn’t have to be difficult, even for those of us who are less than crafty. Transforming the way you showcase your flowers and plants is much easier than you may think, and it’s a great way to bring some personality to your living space.
HERE ARE 7 FUN DIY Y PLA P ANTER RS YOU CAN MAKE OVER THE WEEKEN C END
1. MINI SHELL POTS If your decor has a beachy feel, these adorable mini shell pots are a perfect addition to your home. Use hermit crab or snail shells so there’s enough space inside to add and secure the soil. soil Smal Smalll-gr growing succulents will give an interesting look to these little shells and your home.
2. RECYCLED CANS c reu When you’re finished with your canned goods, you can use the cans to create fun planters. Drill a few holes in the botttoms of the cans for drainage and then spray paint them a any co olor you choose. If you’re more artistic, you can create fun n and f ky patterns. These funk h li l tin little i can plant l ers add dd a gre eat tou uch to window sills or table tops.

3. RUSTIC PLAN NTER B BOX If you’re style of dec cor can b be described as shabb sha y chic, you will adore this ru ustic woo oden planter box x. Iff you have some old wood lying g around that looks weath hered, d, you’re in luck. If not, you ca an buy ne ew wood and disstresss it u using sandpaper. Measure and cut the wood to you ur desi d ired d size, then add pilot holes and screws.
4. F FABRIC ABRIC COVERED POTS Fabric covered pots help you achieve a d detailed look without the hard work. Pick out your favorite fabrics from the crraft store and grab some Mod Podge e glue. Once you apply the glue to your terra cotta pot, smooth the fabric over and leave it to dry overnight. The next da ay, you’ll come back to a beautiful decorative garden pot.
5. MASON JARS Mason jars can be used in a variety of ways throughoutt the home, and planters are no exception. You can spray paiint the jars in just about any color for a fun look, or leave them m as is for a simpler feel. Just make sure to use small to med dium sized plants to ensure they have plenty of room to grow.
6. CHALKBOARD PAINTED A POTS Chalkboard painted decor has become very popular over the last few years. If you have plain ceramic planters lying around, you can give them a little edge by adding chalkboard paint to the entire pot, or just a small section using a template. Make sure you have some chalk handy to write the plant or herb names.
7. P PAINT AINT DRIP PLANTERS The paint drip technique is fun and super easy. Simply drip paint nt over the top or bottom of your planter, and voila, you have a piece of art. Yo ou can also use this technique on metal cans. Just drip paint over the edges o of the cans to create unique e flower and plant pots that add some stylish flair to you ur garden.

Easy Ways to
Update Your Your Kitchen
The kitchen is most often the heart of the home, but it can also be on ne of the most expensive updates to a new abode. de Larg ge tasks such as relocating plumbing lines, es, knocking out cabinets, and purchasing a new set of appliances usually sually contribute to the high h cost of updating the kitchen. However,, there are simpler ways to refresh the kitchen without hout pu putting g a dent in your wallet.
1. PAINT THE CABINET TS Replacing cabinets with new oak or walnut alnut ones can easily drive up the price of your upgrade, and are often not necessary ssary. Instead, try painting your original cabinets. Painting the cabinets with a fresh coat of white has the power of opening up a small kitchen, and can make it seem a lot more spacious. T To o create a kitchen with a little more perssonality, try painting your upper cabinets a light g colorr,, such as white, cream or light ght blue; and paint your lower cabinets a darker colorr,, like slate, navy, navyy, or black. Chalkboard paint is another great option, and allows your cabinets to have a mor ore practical use, such as keeping track of needed grocery items, important dates, es, or cabinet abinet contents. Meanwhile, the kids can get creative with the lower cabinets, ts, and hopefully leave your walls alone!
2. ADD UNIQUE TILES Tile is a great way to add color, pattern and personality to your kitchen withoutt spending a lot of money. For a classic look, try a simple white subway tile backsplash. This can brighten up the kitchen without making it look too busy. Iff you crave a splash of color, try using varied bright colored or patterned tiles on n
to an all-white hite kitchen.
3. UPDATE & ALLTERNA TE ATE TERNA E FIXTURES & APPLIANCES Fixtures and appliances nces are most frequ uently used and often incur wear and tear very quickly l . The good news is that changing anging out your handles and knobs is as easyy as using g a screwdriverr. Hardware stores often have a wide varietyy of unique q e and colorful knobs that can add an insstant dash of color. If you are cramped d ffor room in the kitchen, try removing the d doors from your cabinets. This will ill give your kitchen an airy feeling and allow you to o display some of your nicerr d decorative pieces and those fancy or funky serving platters and china piec eces.
4. SW WAP AP OUT LIGHTING Adding more light to your kitchen will instantly make it more spacious and inviting. Installing a window can be expensive, so instead, try using light colors and new brighter light bulbs to brighten your space. If the existing recessed lighting is not cutting it, try adding pendant lighting above your kitchen isl island or stove top area. This will add extra light to your space and create a warm ambiance when desired.
5. ACCESS ESSORIZE Accesso orizing your home is a fun and easy way to give any space an instant facelift ft. It’’ss also a great way to expresss your personality throughout your home. Since e space is often limited in the kitcchen, it is important to remember that whe en accessorizing this space, items should be practical and functional, and cou unter space should be clutter free. Try colorful bookends to keep cookbooks
iinstant and vibrant energy to the kitch hen. Source: HGTV V.com .com

S Six d ck sty dec ty yles les s Which One is Right for Y Yo our Home? THERE
ARE MANY REASO E NS TO BUILD A DECK IN YOUR YARD.
BESIDES
THE ADDED
VALUE TO YOUR HOME, A DECK GIVES YOU PLENTY OF EXTRA LIV VA L ING SPACE.
NOTHING
IS BETTER THAN STEPP P NG OUTSIDE ONTO A BEAUTIFUL DECK TO ENJOY A GOOD MEA PI E L, RELAX OR ENTERTAIN FRIENDS AND FAMILY LY.
When choosing th he appropriate deck style for your home, assess your living and entertaini n ng needs. Do you enjoy eating outdoors? Do you throw parties often? Do you prefer to relax x in the sun or under the shade? How many people live in your home? Will you have a grill or hot tub on the deck? Allong with your personal needs, the size of your home and lot may also dict c ate the kind of deck you can install. A yard with an unusual shape or slope may call for a different style deck than a yard with a flat terrain. Start wiith these six options to find the deck that works best for your home.
I. Attached An attached deck is connected to the house. This is the most common deck style, usually buiilt at the back of the house, and can be raised or level with th t e yard. This deck gives you easy in-and-out access and becomes an extension of your interior living space.
II. Island An island deck is a free-standing deck installed away from the house and out in the yard. You might have an especially lovely cluster of trees and want to take advantage of the shade, or maybe there is a pond or flower garden next to which it makes sense to build a relaxing seating area. Maybe you simply want to create a “secret garden” deck away from your home. This deck is more an extension of your yard than of your house.

III. Floating
A floating deck is built on a platform and seems to “float” above the ground. The foundation and structure pieces are hidden underneath. A floating deck is low to the ground and can work on uneven or rocky terrai a n, as you don’t have to worry about leveling the area like you would with a concrete or stone patio.
IV. Wraparound A wraparound deck is built on two or more sides of the house. It allows you to take advantage of multiple view ws, and when one side of the house gets too sunny, you can move to the shade while remaining outdoors.
V. Multi-level Multi-level or tiered decks are perfect for yards with steep slopes or uneven terrain, or for homes with two or more stories. Connected with a series of stairs or path hways, they take advantage of the great views s a taller home has to offer and create several spots for entertaining and relaxing. Multi-level decks can also consist of wide stairs that lead down to the yard. Each stair is extended to become a mini-deck of its own, creating additional space for seating or entertaining.
V Around a Vi. Tree If you have a grand old tree, consider building a deck around it. This style is similar to an island deck in that it’s not attached to the house. For a more natural look, add wood furniture and chairs for seating.
Get creatiive and have fun designing your new outdoor liiv ving space. Try built-in seating around th he edge instead of traditional railings, add custom planters for an intimate flower or herb garden, or install an outdoor kitchen or fire pit on your deck. The ideas are endless! Source: Home De epot
