Cabin Projects for the Whole Family

Have you been looking for new ways to fix-up your cabin? Looking for projects to stave off summer boredom in the kids? Here are some fun do it yourself decorating ideas for the whole family.

Pebble Foot Mat
Get the feel of stone underfoot without scattering the pebbles around. You can even add a polyurethane gloss to give your mat a fresh from the river look. All you'll need to complete your project is a grippy rubber mat and an assortment of rocks, purchased or collected. One Pretty Thing offers step-by-step instructions plus advice for making your mat weatherproof.

Wine Bottle Border
How long it takes to prep for this one depends on whether you "collect" the bottles yourself or hit the recycling bins for treasure. Once you have the core materials you'll need to get your hands on a trowel and a padded kneeler. Douglas Welch the author of A Gardener's Notebook blog put together a great YouTube tutorial that will take you through the process.

You don't have to be the outdoorsy type to enjoy the outdoorsy look. If you would prefer not to get your hands dirty check out our Accessories and Accents collection.
