East Coast Creative {formerly RHBC}: DIY Barn Meets Beach Coffee Table This project is an oldie, but a goodie. We realized that we never posted about the amazing coffee table that Monica made for our first Nate Show, and that we now have listed for sale in our Etsy shop. We like to call this little beauty, our Barn meets Beach Coffee Table. Luckily for us, my father-in-law supplies us with amazing barn wood from his barn in PA. but don't worry! Are you ready for the DIY trick that makes this project sooooo easy? We started by priming just the legs of the tables (you won't see the table tops once the barnwood top goes on) with Rustoleum's Ultra Cover in Gray. We love the color of the primer so much that we often use it alone (true story: I have four frames in my basement that are painted with this primer!) While the paint was curing, we got started on building our table top. We measured 44 inches long and 33 inches wide, made marks, and cut the wood with a circular saw (you can use a chop saw, if you have one). Ta-da! Pretty close, wouldn't you say?

Neuf+trois foodraf | recipe collections How to Simulate Fractals in Photoshop Have you ever seen those outstanding fractal images with a lot of swirls and colors? Some of those were build simulating fractals or repeating shapes, where each shape is a reduced part of the whole, others were build mathematically. In this tutorial, we'll create a stylized fractal design using only Photoshop. Let's take a look at the image we'll be creating. You can view the final image preview below or view a larger version here. Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this series of video tutorials to compliment this text + image tutorial. Wikipedia define fractals as "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole." So, let's get it started. Now here's the only shape you'll draw: a circle, yes I'm not kidding, everything starts from a single circle. Let's add some depth and volume to our shape. Place the copy just over one of it's corners. Add a dark Drop Shadow to the "Fractal 3" layer.
Project Instructions Please browse our library of "AT HOME" projects featuring full color, step-by-step application instructions.

A poured concrete patio can be a gray, utilitarian slab or it may be a highly decorative focal point of your backyard living environment. Building a concrete patio (or any concrete slab) is similar in many ways to the walkway project. Concrete landscape borders can be a decorative, functional and affordable addition to your yard or garden. Fiber-reinforced, QUIKRETE® Crack Resistant Concrete is the ideal product for the job and for a personal touch add one of five QUIKRETE® Liquid Cement Colors to the mix.
