fence post

Something as simple as a fence post and it will hold seasons and holiday signs all year long!
We bought a staircase railing, painted it white. Then we used a sander to "distress" the paint. We then stained it and added a hook. A long metal rod inserted into the bottom of the "fencepost" and into the ground and it's ready to welcome people to our home.

Bringing Pinterest to life

I enjoy Pinterest, it's true. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it when I first joined but now find myself searching it for recipes, crafts, etc. on a regular basis. However, I find myself needing more. So my husband and I went on a hunt to try some of the things we only dream about on Pinterest. We decided to start outside.

He took some old fencing, cut it into planks and made a walkway. We laid everything out first, deciding where the path should be. Pulled up the planks and dug out the rocks. Laid the planks back in and sprayed them with a sealer. After drying we swept the rocks back over it to fill in the spaces. Added some solar lights to it for a nice glow at night.  I love it!
Total time : 3-4 hours with drying Total cost : $11 (we had the fencing, 8 solar lights at $1 each from Walmart, $3 for sealer)

dug up the rocks so they would sit lower and flat
