Adding Curb Appeal To Your Concrete

by

concrete

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again and again.  The front of your home is the one place that will make the biggest impact on your guests.  It is what gives your home it’s curb appeal and sets the stage for what your home is for and in itself.  Why not update the look of your home with one simple step.  Stain your concrete.  Did you even know that was possible?  It is, and it is so much easier than you would think.

This post from Front Porch Ideas and More tells you just what you will need to stain your concrete and what are the good and bad products to use.  Head over and read their instructions and see if it is something that you would be interested in.  But what if you’re not ready to make a huge commitment and stain your whole porch?  Then just try a simple cement paver in your garden or a section of sidewalk.  I’m sure either way, you won’t be disappointed.

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
