Upcycled Dining Room Light

Before Photo - This is our DIY light project. My artist friend JJ Jacobs no longer liked her dining light. So we changed it up with window screen and shells. 

After Photo - JJ and I were really happy with the results. She is re-decorating to create a beach house atmosphere.

Our Offer Was Accepted!

Just helped an adorable couple get an accepted offer on this cute house. They are first time home buyers and happy to be in contact. I love my job!

Recycled Pallet Planter

Love this vertical garden pallet project. Staining the wood is a nice touch. I will definitely have to make one of these for my small side yard.

Creative Soul Art Studio

My friend JJ Jacobs is starting a new business, Creative Soul Revival. To give her a fresh start for the New Year, we cleaned and organized her art studio. JJ is a painter, sculptor and glass artist. (You can see one of her paintings in the photo above) 

Isn't the peg board amazing?

Succulent Exchange

Our garden group for University Farm Circle had a succulent exchange. The first meeting of the year was fabulous. Everyone brought plants to share and we had a tutorial on how to propagate succulents. Since I am new to Davis, I enjoy seeing home gardens. Our host Marlene has a beautiful Mid-Century Modern Streng Brothers Home and quite a succulent collection. Marlene told us that she made the concrete planter below. Perhaps we can have a DIY concrete planter day soon!
