An easy DIY project: spray paint your chandelier (including the crystals). It might just turn that old chandelier in to your favourite light! Also fun to put large light bulbs in the chandelier for a more modern look as is done with the red chandelier.
How clever?! A DIY sand-box on wheels. This way it will no longer take-up the best spot in the garden and roll it in a corner or under the table when they are finished with playing.
Great to hold all the cards: make a pin- or magneticboard to hang in the kitchen. Or even hanging shutters or the last photo, which is simply a fabric covered cookie sheet.
