This DIY Stock Tank / Trough Planter project will dramatically increase your curb appeal! My home’s curb appeal was sorely lacking. I needed something large and beautiful to fill the void on the right side of the house (I added a DIY “porch” / patio to the left which I’ll be posting soon!). This DIY Stock Tank / Trough Planter project fit the bill and I could NOT be more thrilled with the way it turned out! Let’s take a look at the before and the after. The pic on the left is an old…

In this post I’ll focus, mainly, on the area of the two cabinets above the peninsula. These two cabinets had three wood doors. See before pics: The first thing I…
Here’s an easy curb appeal makeover that won’t break the budget! Does your front door need a lil pick-me-up? Mine sure did! Here I’ll show you my front door makeover, DIY style. (Scroll down for the BEFORE and AFTER pics!) As you can see, there was absolutely nothing redeeming about my old front entrance. For years we used the back door, exclusively, in the hopes that no one, ever, would attempt to enter through that nasty old front door. In the above pic, you can see the standard, very worn, builder grade…
