Giving outdoor decor new life with spray paint!

Hello all! The temps are starting to cool down and it's the perfect time to work outside! You may not think of fall as a big "fix up" time of year, but it's one of my favorite times to address outdoor projects.  No humidity and temps in the 60's are ideal outside working weather for me! Fall is a great time to plant bushes and trees -- they...

How to hang a light fixture from a recessed light

I've been having fun with the small hallways we have in this house. Our home is very open but has a few of these little spots that I want to make special.
