The Bunnys Bungalow - Tour the Patio

I soooo long for a wonderful wrap around porch on the front of my house and a quiet, peaceful covered patio on the back of my house. I do have a small pond in the back, but the pump has been broken for two years. The water irises are thriving and need thinned out. A few frogs seek refuge there and keep my many cats entertained.

I was reading through Southern Hospitality blog and she had a nice write up and link to The Bunnys Bungalow - Tour the Patio. I just love this Fresh, Relaxing summer look of her patio! Visit the link to see her wonderful transformation!

Doesn't that swing look inviting? And the painted chest of drawers would be a great place to keep a few magazines, "idea notebooks", pens, cleaning supplies, plant care items, insect spray, candles, etc.

I happen to have one of these desk that I have been storing away for years! Another re-purpose job for me to brainstorm!



I'm getting addicted to all these wonderful, crafty women's blogs. I can hardly wait to start posting my own creations!

10 Secrets to Thrifting Success via Miss Mustard Seed

I've recently been on the look out to pick up discarded items to re-finish or re-purpose. My mind is going 90 to nothing trying to figure out when and where I am going to work on all these projects! I've ordered upholstery fabric from a great discount source - Twice - and ready to grab a few more new end of bolt cuts!

As I am trying to rationalize all my finds and purchases I teeter between guilt and long-term goals of starting my own side business. I ran across this great guideline about Thrifting Success. This was a great read to keep things balanced in my head as I drive around town with an eagle eye for that Perfect Free or Cheap Find!

If only I could work from home full time to enjoy all my passions! I'm loving this cute little makover! And as she says, if you only pay $1 it does not hurt to experiment!

Plans: Rolling Cubbies

I have been scouring this smart, money saving blog for a few weeks! I'm so thankful for the time Ana has spent putting together tutorials for Knock-Off Wood designs! She takes ideas from expensive ready made products and figures out how to build them for a fraction of the cost!

Plans: Rolling Cubbies is a project I would love to tackle for my own home! Currently I think this would be great under my double windows that overlooks the little pond and bird feeder.

I seem to change my mind so much, but being on rolling casters will help me move it around every time I decide to rearrange a room!

Follow Ana's blog and let her know that HonestNiceWoman sent you her way and link back to my page!
