Step Outside

With warmer weather upon us and spring [thankfully] around the corner, we’re stepping outside the house and into the backyard.  What better way to celebrate and test your creative side than to try your hand at these faux-bois planters or leaf embossed tables?  The options to showcase your style here are endless…so cheers to ingenuity with these DIY garden projects.

With a simple mold you can custom create your own planter with a stone-like finish. [We love this faux-bois pattern...it reminds us of the Stark wallpaper from our Wood Wallcoverings post.]

Any leaf can be used in the embossed table top, so customize to suit your fancy.  [Our suggestion: a classic fern frond is sure to impress.]

See the full article here with instructions and even more ideas from Martha Stewart’s Living.

If you try these at home, do share! We’d love to see pics.  Post them to our facebook page or shoot us an email at info@parkersimsinteriors.com.
