Started as a weekly tip, now simply a tip provided when I have an idea to share, The Around The House Blog features DIY projects, the latest trends in home fashions, colour trends, updating your home on a budget, repurposing your furniture, gardening and landscaping, or whatever else I think would be a useful tip for today’s homeowners. My focus is on inspiring your creative side, protecting the environment, and saving you money by working with items you probably already have at home collecting dust.
