Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Picnic Crafts ~ Tablecloth Bottle Wrap

on
This quick folding trick helps you get a handle on picnic wines, then yields a place to lay your outdoor feast. Use a print in a seasonal hue and your set for a picnic anytime of year!


1. Start with a square tablecloth that's at least 36 inches. Lay it right side down. Place one bottle on each side of the bottom corner, as pictured. Pull the bottom corner up over the bottles, then roll the bottles forward to opposite corner.

2. Holding the cloth in place, stand up the bottles.

3. Twist ends in opposite directions; knot them to secure.
