How to Make a Chandelier - Do-it-Yourself Pearl Chandelier
This do-it-yourself chandelier project is so easy, even a toddler could do it...
In fact, if you have a lamp shade, some costume pearls and a toddler lying around, round them up!...
Drape the pearls around the inside hardware of the lampshade. Almost all shades are work with this technique even if they don't look exactly like the one in the photo.
Grab some fishing line or clear jewelry making string and tie it around the top of the lamp shade's hardware. You may have to use two or three lines of string so the shade hangs level.

Turn a Room into a Closet
1. Decide which room can best be converted into a closet or which area can be best separated from the master bedroom with a divider. Does the house have an extra room, study or loft near the master bedroom, or is the master bedroom large enough where some of its space could be used as a closet?
If the house does have a room near the master bedroom that can be converted into a master closet without devaluing the home, go for it. If not, then you’ll have to get a little creative with where you can take space away without throwing off the entire aesthetics and flow of the room. If going with the option of creating a room within a room, you want to be able to separate and enclose the closet space with curtains or a room divider so assess the foundation of the room. Is there a section of the bedroom beyond what looks like a wide doorway where you can install curtain rods? Or do you have to look into a room divider? What is going to be best for the room’s layout and design style?
2. Invest in one or two rolling, clothes racks from The Container Store or Home Depot along with some shelving that is easy to assemble and does not have to be installed or cause damage to any walls.
3. Rest a large full length mirror against a wall and use a dresser or small end table to offer more storage.
4. Place a rug down in the middle of the space or where you may designate the “changing area” like in front of the mirror. Rugs placed strategically will break-up a space nicely.
How to Make a Sewing/Craft Room
SEWING/CRAFT ROOM IDEAS
- Table for cutting and measuring
- Clothing rack
- Storage shelves (The shelving in the picture was recycled from another room in my house. They were installed on the wall in the living/T.V. room. I had them removed when the room was re-painted and I literally just placed some of the pieces against the wall in the sewing room.
- Desk for sewing machine
- Plastic drawers, boxes, storage (I labeled everything: "buttons", "ribbons/bows", "thread", etc.)
Outdoor Patio Decorating Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer
Out-dated, Antique or Non-Functioning Appliances or Kitchen Furnishings
A baker's rack, stove, china cabinet, etc. can be turned into a unique piece of patio art with a coat of paint and items that create or compliment the theme of your space.
Think Out-of-the-Pot for Planters like:
Tea Kettles...
...Bicycles,
...Pumpkins,
....Cans from Canned Food or Paint,
...Shipping Pallets,

...Baskets,
...Stacked Automobile Tires,
...And Modern Vases.
