How to RePurpose Old Decor

Repurposing Old Decor

*By:  Mrs. Jenny Musser*

Josh and I have been working hard these last few weekends in our backyard getting things crossed off our list of projects.  One thing on my list was to decorate our back patio.  I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this so I looked through the garage to see if I could repurpose anything by spray painting it a bright color. 


I had a metal tree that had been out in the sun and was faded.  I also had a tray, an urn and a wall hanging. They were all metal so they would be great for outside.  


So a coat of bright spray paint gives new life to these old items.  My favorite spray paint is Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover 2X which is about $4 a can.  If you do a lot of spray painting, you have to get one of these spray guns for $7 at Home Depot..no more getting spray paint all over your fingers!  Before you paint, just make sure you clean whatever you plan on painting!  


Happy Repurposing!!!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.).  Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.  In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan.
