Why not some décor for your side door on your garage? I have had this old broken shovel laying around for several months after the handle broke, and yes the shovel can still can be fixed, but for now, its garage door décor. Actually, this (décor) would look awesome on an old gate or even a tree. I think the shovel works perfect with this old piece of barn wood! But how to attach the shovel to the wood? Plate holders, yes plate holders. I was hunting for a way to hold the shovel on the wood, nothing seemed to work and then I found old plate holders. Two on the front and one on the back, yes it seemed to work! It takes a little time getting them placed correctly to hold the shovel, but keep working with it until you get it to hold the way you want it on the wood. The extra piece (not the spring) on the back hangs on the door nail. Yellow spider mums from Hobby Lobby were hot glued on the board and a yellow polka-dot bow was added. I stenciled with white paint the word dig and my garage door décor was finished! ![]() I love the way the morning light shines through the trees on my garage door décor. Amy Vanderbilt's Etiquette

Okay, I admit I have outdoor rooms. I have seating in all my rooms and so my shade garden room needed a chandelier. I have a lot of upcycled junk in my cottage gardens also, so what would be more perfect than a part off of a vintage chicken feeder! First I painted it white and then highlighted with pink and turquoise. I meant to take a picture of the chicken feeder top before I started this project but I get so excited about a new project that I forgot and maybe I am a little ADHD! Just look up vintage chicken feeder on the internet and you can find a picture of the whole feeder. I purchased plastic crystals at Michael's, the package contained both square and tear drop crystals. The crystals came pre-drilled with a hole, so it was easy to put the wire through and attach them to the feeder top. Of note I painted the chain you see laying on the paint can, you can purchase white chain, but I couldn't find the size I wanted at the time. The pink arrow shows where I tied the feeder together with wire. The feeder is split to allow it to be taken off the bottom of the feeder to fill it with feed. Hey, I grew up on a farm and we had chickens. Directions to hang the chandelier: 1. I had a piece of iron that I bent on both ends to place in the tree, there are available hooks with both ends bent as above that can be purchased at any garden center. 2. Decide where you are going to hang the feeder and how high. 3. Cut your chain appropriately. 4. The feeder comes with four holes on top (see pink arrow above). Place chain in hole and separate one link of chain and bend outwards so the chain can't come through the hole. 5. Put the four pieces of chain on an O-ring and hang on your hook.
