Filing Cabinet Planters
Have you seen the price of large plant containers these days? You can easily spend a couple hundred dollars for a big planter. I wanted a couple to place along the back fence on our property but didn’t want to drop that kind of money ~ here’s my

Wheel Rim Planters
If you are an Our Fairfield Home and Garden blog reader, you probably know by now how much I love using repurposed items in the garden. The rustier and crustier the better! This idea for Wheel Rim Planters came from a recent junking trip I made to the Renewed For You Shoppe. There I found

Field Trip ~ Going Junking
After following The Renewed For You Shoppe on Facebook for awhile and enjoying their posts, I found out they are only fifteen minutes away from me! How good does it get? I can shop local and find the kinds of vintage and rustic items I love, too. Driving up, I could see this was my

Winter Outdoor Decor ~ Use what you have!
Want to decorate for winter and have it last a few months? Use what you have in the yard already! Birdhouses, garden accents, seed heads and cut greens will do the trick! Repurposing keeps your costs to a minimum ( I spent no money at all on the decorations in this post) and lend a

Make Your Own Plant Supports
Need something to hold up your floppy flowers and shocked at the price of commercially made plant supports? Make your own plant supports from tomato cages for next to nothing!

Repurposed Birdbath Succulent Planter
Sometimes things just fall into place, you know? A sweet friend dropped off two egg cartons full of divisions from her Hens & Chicks last week. I had been trying to decide where to plant them and hadn’t settled on an idea yet. Then, yesterday I saw my neighbors carrying their old birdbath to the

Succulent Wheelbarrow Planter
So, what do you do when you have an old stump to camouflage, a wheelbarrow with holes and dribs and drabs of different outdoor succulents? Why, make a planter of course! This old wheelbarrow had seen better days and had quite a few rusted out holes in the bottom of it. Placing a few pieces

Make a Sussy (A small gift, given for no particular occasion other than love and friendship, usually not wrapped )
Do you save extra toiletries from your travels and wonder what to do with them?

What a nice way to lift a friend or neighbor’s spirits spending a little time and not a

DIY ~ Make Music Sheet Christmas Trees
Recently, I saw some little Christmas trees made with just paper, a wooden dowel, a spool of thread and some buttons. I couldn’t find directions, so I fooled around and figured them out for myself. Here’s what I came up with so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel yourself! Aren’t they just as
