Hello Crew! I hope you enjoy the video I’ve created for you today! It includes five wonderful photographs of outdoor projects sure to keep your attention! During the approximately 6 minute video I point out some of the unique design details of each photo and explain why outdoors is the best place to start if you want to build some new DIY carpentry skills!
Enjoy!
So, what do you think? Which picture was your favorite?

I tend to shy away from shutters…they are more old-fashioned looking than suits my husband’s and my style. But my favorite were those planter boxes that popped with the crimson paint! What a great idea!
Those might be just what we need to bring some badly needed style to the front of our home! 🙂
The video was fun to watch…you are a great narrator RG!

Definately the planter boxes! They say Spring :0)!!
I also enjoyed looking at the second set of shutters. They looked simple enough… and I LOVED the hardware!
Love all the color on the first image. My house is also blue and I would have never considered a yellow door and/or porch but it looks great – cheery and inviting! The (professionally done) patio and stone-covered grill with the pergola is also gorgeous. Thanks for sharing and for being so encouraging to aspiring do-it-herselfers!
By the way, your spray painted cabinet post changed my life 🙂 Re-doing the kitchen cabinets was not on my to-do list but now…
I liked the shudders picture because I’m in the process of buying a foreclosed home that has zero curb appeal. i’m planning on making my own shudders – I call the style Swissy – three vertical boards with two horizontal cross bars. Stained dark mahogany, I think they’ll dress up the vanilla exterior really well.
I need to send you a picture of the two decks on the back of the house with peeling red paint/stain. I need suggestions on how to make them pretty again.

Love all of them! but the one with the outdoor fireplace makes my heart smile!! Ok so I posted about my kitchen re-do progress if your interested in taking a look. http://theecklife.blogspot.com/2009/04/chaos-to-get-order.html
I ended up not using the Sherwin Williams Latex Enamel- it clogged my sprayer-that stuff is like glue-so I opted for the Behr Kitchen & Bath (Im hoping it holds up to 3 kids!!) Thanks for all your advice- I figure if I can accomplish this- Im moving onto carpentry- give me a skill saw baby!!! 🙂
