Under $100 Linky Party

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my swing set wood projects.  I have had a few of you ask about my painting technique--I don't have one.  Honestly, I slap paint on with a chip brush or otherwise cheap, abused paintbrush, I sand some off and then apply a dark stain or wax on top.  Starting with rougher cut wood helps, but I do sand it before I paint to eliminate slivers.  Now, on to what some of you wonderful beings have been up to:

Frou Frou Gal's garden bench is a perfect pop of color.

Red Hen Home shared a lovely faux silver leaf technique.

Kara's Korner's nursery has so many fantastic under $100 ideas--check it out!

I would love to dine at this outdoor table from Embracing Change.

I know, another pallet shelf, but I really like how Too Much Time On my Hands dressed this one up with paint.

Be Slightly Askew's anthro knockoff is, yes I am going to say it, better than the original!

This cucumber pasta salad from My Life and Kids sounds delicious for a hot summer evening.

Looking forward to all of your fun under $100 ideas this week!
