Want to create some pizzazz in your patio, why not use cushions that come various shapes and sizes. Pick warm, bright colours for an instant pick me up feel.

If you don’t want to paint your walls but yearn desperately for a new look why not be daring a paint one piece of furniture in a bold colour to attract all the attention. Don’t be afraid to get potent with the hue you choose.

This is an easy DIY (Do It Yourself project) that you can attempt if you feel like exercising your creative side.  Here’s how you can make vintage looking button napkin holder. Paste buttons on an old card made with recycled paper. Then choose 2 yards each (per 2 napkins) of 5 colours of ribbon; gather into a bunch, cut into 8" bunches, and knot one end of each. Punch 2 holes in sides of the button cards. Pull unknotted ribbon ends up through each hole so the knot catches under card. Tie loose ends under napkin.
