If you’ve had your eyes on a farmhousy piece like this, why not just try making your own?So you might feel like I’m sending you mixed messages here with my food posts, but just hear me out.
-Cutting back dying perennials (just 15 minutes worth at a time!).-Putting away some of the stuff off the back deck.
Side tables, chairs, plant pots.. -Rounding up a few balls or sandbox toys that are still outside.. -Bringing in the tomato cages.. -Sweeping down spider webs around doorways.. -Sweeping the front steps.. -Planting a handful of Spring bulbs.. -Putting down a few sheets of newspaper and some mulch to prevent weeds in flower beds (just a little at a time again!).Individually, all these little jobs are pretty insignificant, but if I pick seven of them to do in a week, then I find I’ve actually made some pretty good progress!.Getting outside a bit more is helping me enjoy my surroundings more too.
Can you spot the tiny purple flowers whose name I forget, but who I planted this Spring and who decided to bloom again in the Fall for some reason?.I love knowing that this whole area is going to be just full of daffodils in March and April and I didn’t agonize over trying to plants hundreds of bulbs like last year and then just not get around to it.
15 minutes was all it took!
If I decide to, I may even do one more 15 minute bulb planting session, but no 3 hour planting marathons for me..Finally, replace the regular nuts that come with the u-bolt with wing-nuts..
If you’re lucky enough to be working with similar materials to what we had, assembly is super easy.First step will be to mark the area on each crib side where they are likely to overlap when in use.. Next, attach the l-brackets comfortably within the marked area on one of the crib sides; 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.
The brackets will sit flat on the top rail and bend down and flat on the bottom rail and bend up.Offset the bracket so the gap between the bracket and the side of the rail is the correct size to receive the other crib side..
