Black Bench Makeover

Okay, so I did this project back in the summer, but I’m just now sharing it. Of course, anytime is good for a spray paint project. Though maybe you should use a paint tent in the garage if it’s in the middle of winter … just maybe. And look how happy our pumpkins look on […]

How to Re-Plant Succulents {My Succulent Paradise}

I used to think succulents were ugly – like really ugly. I also used to hate asparagus. Now thinking of roasted asparagus with a hint of garlic butter makes my mouth water. I told my mom about my attitude change toward asparagus and she said “Your taste buds are growing up.” Maybe that is what […]

How To Install A Paver Patio {The Foundation of My Raised Garden Beds}

We did something extremely insane. It didn’t start out insane, but everything just spiraled out of control once the ball got rolling. First, we were just going to add a third raised box this year – easy enough, right? Then we discovered the wood surrounding our main box was rotting, so we were going to […]

Container Hydrangeas

Admittedly, when I planted Hydrangeas in the containers on my porch back at the beginning of summer, I had no idea if they would live or die. I even kept the plastic containers and receipts in the garage in case I had to return them to the store (the store worker assured me they were […]

My Back Patio Update: Organize & Decorate

Earlier this week I showed you my simple Front Porch Update. I like simple updates. When you make several simple updates at once, it somehow creates a whole new feel. While working on updating our back patio, I wrote a list of simple independent updates I could do one at a time, because finding a […]

My Front Porch Update

After the landscape was finished (see about that HERE), the old porch furniture just seemed to be out of place. I mean, kind of faded and sad. I didn’t have a big budget for this, only $100. The flowers pushed me a little over, but I got pretty close to my budget goal. When I […]

Patriotic Door Hanging – From Materials I Already Had

I wanted to jazz up my front door with something patriotic and fun. Yep, I just used the term “jazzed up”. It is getting wild here. Once again, I only had a few hours while baby napped, so I got creative with materials I already had. A general idea had been floating around in my […]

My New Landscape is Done!!

When I showed you my less-than-delightful landscape over a month ago, I was sure I’d be able to show you the finished product a week later. Things went slower than expected. After Franco and his team cleared out the old, yucky stuff, it sat unfinished for a long time because the stone I wanted to use wasn’t […]

New Landscape!!!! (Before Photos)

After 2.5 years in this house, I finally convinced my husband to agree to re-doing our landscape. Notice how I never show you the front of my house? Yeah, because I don’t like my landscape! Ha! (Okay, probably just because the subject never came up, but you get the point.) The landscape artists are in […]
