for cool enough weather for sanding Sonia and I bought a storage chest on Facebook Marketplace, and I’m gonna paint it white to match her other furniture. And still, I am always finding new plants that I’ve never seen before. The post Thankful Thursday | a tough/good month appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

Typically, you don’t have much wall space to paint in a bathroom after installing the mirrors, shower, tiles, and bathroom cabinets. Try painting it yourself instead of hiring a painter. Use framed photos to decorate bare walls instead of high priced paintings. Painting the walls is cheaper than using wallpaper.

None of the trees have produced much fruit in the 5 years since I planted them. I have found that if I spray in February, before things start growing, I kill off whatever it is that is causing the issue, so I’ll do that after I prune, apply true paint and cut up the pruned branches on the compost heap.

History In 2006 I planted fruit trees, in anticipation of retiring and having time to pick and use the harvest. I planted them that fall, a dwarf pie cherry, an Elberta peach, a Lodi apple and a Braeburn apple. After snipping, I carefully painted the cut edges with tree paint. Plant blueberries instead!

Deep annual cleaning, general maintenance, painting and repairing and re-stocking with lost items are just a few of the kinds of work you won’t miss when you lease it yearly. I wash all the nick knacks and silk plants and I paint any and all spots that need painting. Your family won’t gather there anymore.

At first, I was little skeptical when I saw that nail polish was the paint. The rack is now used for painting projects. Once you are done dipping and your pots are completely dry, you can plant your flowers or herbs. For a more marbled effect, pour the polish so you can still see water at the surface, like the white paint above.

While we understand that many property owners do not allow tenants to paint with the latest trending colors, it is still possible to add some spice and texture to your home. Place several candles of varying shapes on top of the mirror or use it as a tray for a small plant in a decorative pot. Take a tip from the design shows.

Empty coffee cans are great for holding paint or turpentine or bacon grease. Mesh bags from Popsicle sticks hold bulbs we dig up and re-plant later to keep them dry until time to plant. Paint rollers are used multiple times at our house. Below is a list of things I (or hubby) have personally saved and reused. Containers.

It can be a great frugal alternative to many cleaning and pest problems. Get acid to acid loving plants by watering them with a water/vinegar mix occasionally (acid loving plants examples are blueberries, azaleas, pine and etc). Paint designs on furniture – using the vinegar to mix with dry color like tempra powder.

2 – Paint all of the rooms. Painting a room makes a huge difference in its appearance. A bright new coat of paint can make a room feel much larger and more spacious.

Just in case you are not acquainted with these, a garden stepping stone is a big stone, or cement molded to look like a flat rock, that is decorated and then placed on the ground or in a garden to walk on – so you don’t tromp the plants. I already had the Vaseline ,a wooden paint paddle and the water was readily available.
