As we start a new year, I have my Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you.

It was a crazy busy and fun year. With packing, moving, unpacking and re configuring a new (to me) cottage apartment in the desert, family vacations, traveling and then the Christmas season my year was jam packed.

My brain and creativity are already moving full force with fresh, new and clean ideas. Not only home decor, but for design, keeping myself healthy and working on goals for a better lifestyle. I will be telling you more about that soon.

For now let’s look at the Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you, your home and family.

Even though the cottage back porch is small, with just a few thrifted finds and ingenuity I was able to Create an Inviting Back Porch.

DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial

We were out in the desert hiking through the gorgeous red clay mountains just outside of Las Vegas. My cute grand daughter found a rustic stick and gave it to me. My grand kids know me so well. If it’s old, a rock, sea shell, or stick, I want it. I know, that is kinda silly of me. But, it is what I like and I LOVE that each and every one of the kids in my family know that. Once I got said stick home, I knew that I was going to make a DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial for you.

DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas

The temperature is warming up and I am spending most of my days poolside. You know how I love to be outside and feel the sun rays on my face. It is really nice to be in our new home. Things are coming together and I am enjoying the decorating process. I am also enjoying the fact that we have a REAL porch. We did have a tiny balcony before. I tried to turn it into an inviting space. But, my vision never really came to fruition. I had visions of what I wanted here even before we moved in. Let me share some of my DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas for our new home.

These DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas can be used on tiny porches and large decks alike.

I like this time of month because I get to be a part of the At Home DIY Challenges. We have a theme every 15th of the month and share our best DIY projects related to the theme. This month is: “Make it Pretty Outdoor Challenge”

That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…

Beachy Condo Porch Ideas

If you know me at all, you know I LOVE the beach. I love the sand in my toes, the ocean breeze, the smells, the sounds and walking on the pier. On occasion, I have been know to even ride the waves, body surfing. It is such a thrill to be in the water. The ocean is therapeutic for me.

AND, if you have been following me for awhile, you KNOW I don’t live anywhere near the ocean. Since I have been craving it lately, I thought it would be fun to make my own Beachy Condo Porch Ideas.

Our porch is tiny so I had to be careful NOT to make it TOO full.

I shopped my house for a few things and love the results…
