Husband and I need to temporally move into our guest bathroom while we remodel the master bath. The guest bathroom is half the size of the master. I eked out what storage space I could by building shelves over the door and on the wall over the toilet.
I thought I already maxed out my small bathroom storage space.
Or have I?

21 Unique Bottle Cap Crafts to Inspire You!
I remake and makeover a lot of things using bottle caps but as our collection grows I need new recycled DIY ideas.
If you look at my Pinterest Crafts board you will see I have bottle cap projects on the brain. It seems like after I complete one bottle cap decorating project I see and pin a bunch more. (Follow me @condoblues on Pinterest pretty please?)
I can’t be the only one that doesn't this, can I?
I thought I’d share the bottle cap craft love and show you some of my favorite recycled bottle cap projects from around the web to inspire you.
You can just drool over them like the bottle cap house. I doubt my Home Owner’s Association will let me do that or Husband for that matter.

How to Make an Outdoor Chalkboard Paint Table
My outdoor mosaic bistro table and chairs developed so much dry rot mushrooms grew in the table and chairs. I decided to repair it rather than replace it for a greener, cheaper, and more personalized patio table and chair set.
Also, I didn’t find a replacement that I liked in the store. That’s the real incentive for this project.
I got my reused bottle cap craft on and made four coordinating recycled bottle cap mosaic chairs. Read the bottle cap chair tutorial here on Condo Blues. Now it is time to turn my attention to making over the outdoor bistro table with chalkboard paint.

10 Ways to Reuse Plastic Food and Laundry Measuring Scoops
Even though Husband and I try to run a low waste home with careful shopping and find new reuses for what we can't recycle through our city's recycling program, there is one thing we are swimming in and loathe to regularly send to the landfill: plastic laundry and food measuring scoops.

How to Make a Bottle Cap Mosaic Chair
Ewwww! |
The cute little mosaic tile bistro set on our patio has lived outside in the rain sleet and snow for a very long time.
How long?
Long enough for the elements to take their toll and dry rot the wood base of the table and all of the chairs.
Well, when I can’t buy I DIY!

How to Keep Your Dog From Being Scared of Fireworks
Fireworks are fun for the family to watch but are torture for your dog.
Big bangs, sizzles, and firecracker pops in Dog World mean “Panic! Run away from the noise! It is something that will hurt you! Run!”
In Human World, we stand there and stare at gunpowder exploding over our heads and say, “So pretty!” Which probably isn't very smart Human World.

How to Desensitize Your Dog to Fireworks
Fortunately, there are several methods you can use to keep your dog from crying, whining, barking, and freaking out during a fireworks show on the Fourth of July.

How to Install a New Doorbell Chime and Button
Normally I’m a fix it instead of replace it kind of gal but neither Husband nor I have any great love for our builder basic doorbell. When our doorbell wouldn’t chime even after I replaced the transformer, we took the opportunity to upgrade it to a door chime we can actually hear from upstairs as well as down.
I wanted a pretty doorbell button to replace the plastic builder grade monstrosity we had. Husband thought the door chimes that played different music and tones are more fun than the faint, “ding dong!” that bit the dust.
So of course we acted like two dorks testing all of the doorbell chimes in Lowes multiple times to find one we liked.
Sorry Lowes fellow shoppers.
Sometimes we are 12.
We bought the Utilitech Wireless Doorbell and Utilitech Antique Brass Doorbell Button (affiliate links for your convenience) to coordinate with the front doorknob and lock. This particular doorbell comes with a bunch of chimes (we are currently using the Westminster chimes setting.)
I got the opportunity to pick out a prettier doorbell button. Most importantly this doorbell lets us hardwire it to our current doorbell wiring although you can also install it as a wireless doorbell if you like.
We wanted to stay with a hardwired doorbell so we didn’t have to play Where are the rest of the rechargeable batteries? Did you recharge them? game on a regular basis but that’s just us.
