[Project Notebook] & A Giveaway!

(I always have a ton of decorating and DIY ideas floating around in my head. Many of them end up in my project notebook that I keep in my nightstand. I thought it would be fun if I shared some of my ideas with you all each week.)

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this, but I'm not a huge fan of red. That said, the previous owners of our house must have loved it.  I mean they did leave us with a red front door, red foundation, red walkway, red detached garage, red concrete bench in the garden and a painted red fence surrounding our property. So, if I had the motivation of rid our property of all the excessive red, this is what I would do.
