Tip: Organize a Bring and Barter Event At my school we are just about to start organizing our second annual Bring and Barter event. This got us both thinking and within a month we had organized a Bring and Barter event. If you want to use the idea as a fundraiser or need to pay for a venue you could make a small charge for entry, perhaps $1-$2. By Mrs. Tip: Get Rid of Clutter in 30 Days If you're like me you can get overwhelmed with the clutter. By coville123 from Brockville, Ontario Tip: 6 Month Rule For Clutter I hate clutter; probably because I dislike dirt.

When we first moved into our new house, I took one look at the raw edge mirror in the downstairs bathroom and had every intention of removing it and replacing it with something better. But, when I got down to the nitty gritty, I realized that whoever had installed our bathroom mirror was glue happy, and didn’t just adhere it to the wall — they cemented it! Removing it would have damaged the wall terribly, causing need for repair and re-texturizing. I really hate changing plans… but, it worked out for the best as you’ll see! I love a good, quick home improvement project anyway. I decided to start my little diy bathroom mirror project with a fresh coat of paint first. I went to Lowe’s and purchased two sheets of tumbled marble tiles clearance priced for $7 each. You can find marble tile sheets online if your local hardware store isn’t having a sale. I also purchased a tube of silicone adhesive that boasted it could be used for fusing glass together to form a fish tank. Yup, only $18!

Recycled Magazine Mirror Frame |
We had a mirror that was kind of dirty with paint. I couldn’t clean it so I thought I’ll paint it over. That mirror was laying in the house for much too long and finally a week ago I got a new idea – I’ll make a frame from recycled magazines. That’s my bowl: A little bit glue on the old frame part and we’re rollin… :) I used two pieces of a cardboard. My two little helpers. Work in progress… I have to admit that it took me about a week or more to finish that mirror. At the end I sprayed it with spare urethane to make the frame a little bit glossy. Today was the last day. Our daughter JUST LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!! Like this: Like Loading...

Before and after: Small Balcony
I love to sit on my Moroccan poufs and see nothing of the busy world outside, just the mini-garden. When I bought the apartment, my tiny balcony was already enclosed with glass and had a built-in that provides much needed storage. It was perfect for the Romanian winter blizzards, not so perfect for my intentions. Dark gloomy atmosphere and horrible clashing colors. Step one: Paint every wall white. Step two: Prepare the floor. Step three: Make a large shelf under the windows. I ended up with a vegetation jungle, because: A.
