  17. I absolutely love succulents. Have a pot with different kinds and some trailing that I have had for years. They can withstand heat and little watering, shade or sun, with hardly any care at all. Adaptable to virtually any kind of container (if you make sure they are not left standing in water). I have them in containers on my deck, under my cherry tree, in my rock wall, and on my kitchen window sill. Some can weather winter cold and extreme conditions we can have here in Spokane, Washington. They make babies and multiply and are easy to propagate. They come in many colors, such as purple tinged, red, gold, bright green (chartreuse).
    Just when you think they may be dead they surprise you. What more can I say? I am in love! xoxoxo

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
