Monday Moment: a small balcony FULL of color
>I am not mad at how much color Offbeat Homie Kristin squeezed into her small balcony. And it was all achieved with a rainbow of planters and paper lantern string lights!
Make your own action figure terrarium
I love my action figures but I often wish I had a better way to display them rather then gathering dust on a dark shelf.
