What is the most functional AND stylish organizational item you own?
HEY YO! I am super excited about the Spring and the plans for our yard. I don’t remember if I ever wrote about our pallet veggie boxes, but we’ve had them for a while now and wanted to put a nicer facade/hold the dirt in without using garbage bags! Below is how they have looked since we got them and the garbage bag lining was a temporary solution:
We bought fence pickets at Home Depot for $1.44 each and we bought 38 of them (6″X6′). That’s 54.72 plus tax and bonus for us is that we had a gift card from my hubby’s birthday, so it was mostly free! I should also mention that we bought coated nails ($2.98 + tax), taking the advice from the fencing materials website which recommended them because they don’t rust as quickly as the regular nails.
We needed 12 pickets per garden bed, which would equal 36, but we plan on making two small planter boxes for another area in the yard from the remnants of the 3 big beds, so we needed two extra to complete that other project.
The How To:
59″W by 73″H | Handcrafted giclee on canvas
John-Richard Collection “As the Water Flows” Giclee
I am always looking at wall art and paintings, even when it is not in by budget! Here are some fabulous landscapes, abstract, and/or impressionist paintings for your viewing pleasure. Many of these are pretty timeless and will be “in style” for a while because they coordinate with a variety of color schemes. Some can also be that “pop” of color in a neutral room!
Be encouraged! You can buy these one of a kind items if it’s your “splurge” purchase or you’ve saved up for some great art. You probably shouldn’t buy any these impulsively, just a quick tip ;)
36″ Squared | Oil On Canvas
45.5″W by 55.5″H | Acrylic on Canvas
Rosenbaum Fine Art “Mod Artist’s Palette” Painting
57″W by 46″H | Hand-enhanced giclee reproduction
John-Richard Collection “Wait for Me” Giclee
22″W by 34″H | Oil on Linen
