Have you looked around your home lately and thought about replacing anything? Or, instead, what about an easy DIY project? 

I recently did a few slab doors in my home and freshened them up to make them look fancy! lol Sometimes an easy and cheap DIY is better on the pocketbook and a small change can make a big difference. So how did I do it?

Reclaimed Bricks

In Fiona Hurricane (2022) my chimney was damaged due to the high winds. It was just replaced and it looks beautiful again.  I'm so happy it is back in great condition.

With keeping sustainability in mind, I pulled out some of the bricks that were reusable from the tear down to use around my property. They make great additions to flower beds, walkways and art. There is no need to throw out perfectly good materials to the trash when they can be reclaimed and used.  I do need to chip off the old cement but I love the look of these bricks.

Recycle, reuse and create art whenever you can :)

I love looking for project ideas to recycle and use items instead of throwing to the trash items that have great character and usability.
​ I can't lie this project was a whole lot of work but so worth it in the end.

I am constantly trying to organize and reorganize my home. Today I decided I was going to get more organized in the kitchen but this will also work for a craft room, office or any room in your home.

Would you like to hide those hot water radiator covers in your home and have them instead look like a window seat/shelf?
