Freshen up a fire pit with high heat spray paint.
We have a free standing fire pit that we love to use. However, while sitting out on our patio 24/7 for several years, the paint begins to oxidize and get faded over the years, and rust spots crop up here and there. The solution? High heat spray paint. Loosen any flaking pieces of paint and […]

Hydrangeas: easy floral decor in just minutes.
I love hydrangeas. They are easy to grow, easy to group together in one big arrangement, and they are easy to preserve. I cut several stems and popped them into a champagne bucket. So easy!
