Your guide to turning your house into a home... one DIY project and yard sale find at a time

10 outdoor DIY projects you can easily add to your home

May 31, 2019

Are you tackling some projects outside this summer?  I LOVE being outdoors so of course that means projects usually are happening too from gardening to landscaping to building pretty outdoor spaces.  I showed you last how I created a super flag to add some character and decor to the side of our shed.  It’s such a pretty backdrop now to a new flower bed I put in and our view from the pool.

15+ other bloggers did outdoor projects too and I’m sharing some of the ones that inspired me today!

    So inspiring to see all the lovely things people make with their own hands, it seems so much more special. I can say from my own experience, as I’m a do-it-yourselfer in my work and in my free time.
    Thanks for sharing! 🙂
