Usually, terrariums come in all shapes and sizes, but for making your own, feel free to use a mason jar to a bulb.

Pendant Lights

One of the simplest ways to get started with it is with the help of an easily available lamp kit set. To it add your favorite fabric, design, and color to go well with space giving it a sexy designer look.
Outdoor Curtains
Do you have a great screened in porch? But, is the morning sunlight too brutal there? A simple solution to this problem is floating curtain panels to block out the sun, so you can enjoy the space more. Though they are not as popular as they used to be, but they can add a real designer touch to the porch and your other rooms. They, in fact, can stay just a little above the ground to avoid them from getting dirty. This DIY project is rather a very simple one that can be completed in just a day. While doing so, make sure not to hang them at the wrong height and the length needs to be just right, nor too long nor too short.
Wooden Pallet Sign
Truth be told, not all pallet signs were created equal. But, they certainly make a beautiful gift for the ones you love and that’s for sure will be loved for the years to come. However, apart from gifting it to somebody, this handcrafted goodness can add a vintage yet rustic look to your home. Before you get started with DIYing it, be sure about what you want to write down on it and the size of the pallet you would want to have. Half the work is done after cutting the board into pieces and getting it together in the required shape. The other half of the process consists of putting down the words on it to turn it into a beautiful memory. One of the best tricks to do it is by using vinyl letters. They look gorgeous and are super easy to stick them on the board.
