Creating the old into something new…..

With Spring that has sprung, I’m really getting “creative itches”, so, to hubby’s utter dismay, I decided that I have the three following D.I.Y. projects that I would like to attempt….

No 1 : White wash the Chest of Drawers and floating bookshelves for Zhané’s room, I just want to do something a bit different with her room, so I'm thinking - girlie coastal, so let’s see how far I get with this one….

No. 2 : Plant something in that damm empty pot! We have this flippen empty pot that was empty when we lived in Centurion, was still empty after we moved to Meyerton (to my mom’s house) and is STILL empty after we moved into our house, and I think the time has come for the pot to be un-empty! So will twist and pull hubby’s arm for a trip to Magic Garden for a few accessories and go green!

No. 3 : Create a “something” for that little nook at the front door. Although we hardly use the front door and hardly anybody will ever see the “something” in the nook at the front door, at least I will know about the “something” in the nook at the front door….and the “something” will make me feel better

I am pretty sure I can do this, seeing that I am not stupid, only lacking experience (and way to much of it, some would say)….


And then there is the future-dated D.I.Y. Projects…..

No. 1 : How about we create a garden out of our “a-whole-lot-of-space-of-nothingness”, which some people might call a yard, seeing that our yard consist out of paving (a lot of), grass (a lot of as well) and scrubs (to much off…), we will start with our pavement and work our way to the back. I don’t want an exclusive garden, just something nice and manageable

No. 2 : Create a “Rocky-bird-bath-thingy”, cause I know it gonna look awesomely cool, just need to find a spot for it, which would not be that difficult, as space is in abundance at this stage.

No.3 : Do a mosaic-guitar for Hanco’s room, saw this on the internet, or maybe a book, or a shop, what ever, I can’t remember, but I don’t care, it looked stunning enough for me to save the images in my dusty old brain. I liked it and I’m going to do it…

And maybe there is more to be done, mind you, once you buy a house, there will always be stuff to do, things that need fixing, and little nooks and crannies that beg to be magically revamped into something breathtaking and magnificent
