I?m working on an outdoor DIY project today and tomorrow, building lattice privacy screens to insert into tall rectangular planters to create an enclosed patio without the expense of building a fence. Once it?s complete I?ll share how it looks and how I built them. The design is so simple!
I?m headed to Tulum in less than two weeks. I?m mostly interested in seeing and photographing the architecture of the area and I?m curious what the draw is for so many travelers. If you?ve visited Tulum, please share your tips on what to see and where to eat!
