This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Here at Home Fixated, we like to put our tools to work on useful projects like lawn and home maintenance, repairs and construction. Sometimes we just do stuff that needs to be done. But today’s project is purely for the fun of it. We received an R8832 Ridgid 18V Octane jig saw and R86064 ¼ sheet sander to try out. Both tools served us well on the DIY picnic table project. This time they help us metamorphose wooden “caterpillars” into a pair of beautiful butterflies. We’ll take you under our wing and show you how to make your own butterfly wall art! Read More

Life Is A Picnic – Eat It Up With These Easy DIY Picnic Table Bench Plans
The best season for outdoor fun depends on where you live. In the “sunshine state” (my neck of the woods), our seasons go as follows: 3 weeks of winter > 2 weeks of bliss > 1st love bug season > raging inferno / rainy season > 2nd love bug season / hurricane season > 13 really nice days > then mild to cold again. In Florida, picnic season isn’t a time of year, it’s a time of day. It’s that 5-minute window between getting drenched with rain and soaked with sweat. But wet or not, you can’t stand up all the time; sometimes you need to sit down. This DIY picnic table project is a great family gathering place for a little outdoor fun and collaborative love bug shooing, just about any season of the year! Read More
