For the longest time I’ve wanted a cute Christmas comforter in the bedroom but couldn’t make myself buy something so unnecessary that would only be used one month out of the year and I didn’t want to have to store it. This year I compromised with a set of Christmas sheets that matched my everyday duvet comforter. Festive, fun and more compact to store. I finally have a cozy bed for the holidays. So cozy, all the animals love it, too. The master bedroom is toward the end of a long list of rooms yet to remodel (hence, the no curtains and mostly bare walls I’ve never repainted since moving in). In the meantime, I try to make it as comfy cozy as possible. I recently got this cute rechargable lamp It gives a cozy glow along with the bedroom Christmas tree. This fur throw blanket is a favorite...

FALL FOLIAGE HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN ARCH
10/05/2025
I like to change up the front porch each year for Halloween. Last year was the witch house. This year I wanted to attempt a Halloween arch. I don’t have the right space to put one around the front door so my vision was to put it in the middle of the porch using the cedar posts to nail into. My plan was to use pampas grass and brush foraged from my parent’s house to create the base of the arch. Using only four nails, I tacked the main branches into place. I then added more branches for fullness using jute twine to secure to the nailed branches. Then came the fun part. I stuffed in bundles of the foraged pampas grass. Then I zip tied old foam pumpkins to the secured branches. (See how I used the pumpkins in past years HERE and HERE) I tucked in a...

DIY Planter Turned Water Fountain
06/30/2025
After spending a week in Florida listening to the relaxing sound of our friend’s fountain in their pool, I have been on the hunt for the perfect fountain for our back patio to mimic that soothing sound. I wanted something simple in a concrete/natural stone look with good size similar to the photo below. Holy cow, fountains aren’t cheap! Having no luck finding what I wanted without selling my first born to pay for it, I tasked my husband with DIYing a fountain from a resin planter I found at At Home. The first step was to seal the hole in the bottom of the planter. To do that he used WaterWeld and Flex Seal. He filled the hole with WaterWeld and let it sit for the time suggested on the directions. Then, because we had it on hand, we sprayed the inside and outside of the hole with...
