It’s the perfect time to plan next years garden!

It’s the perfect time to plan next years garden! 👩🏻‍🌾
Here’s what I suggest you plant if you want to be able to cut flowers for arrangements-
1. tulips and daffodils. Buy bulbs now (@homedepot has great options). Plant them in the fall and get blooms for up to 5 years! 🌷
2. Peonies. They only bloom in the spring, but they’re so magnificent, they’re worth it! The greenary is gorgeous even without the flowers. Plus a peony bush can live to be over 100 years 😳
3. Roses. Possibly my favorite? So pretty with the best scent. They give multiple flushes of flowers. Old world beauty 🌹
4. Snapdragon. I grow these from seed each year. They’re the perfect filler flower. If you grow your own (not one from the nursery), they get tall and add height in an arrangement 💐
5. Teddy Bear Sunflower. This is my first year trying these and I’m hooked! Throw some seeds in the ground and you get fluffy, sweet, yellow flowers that last a long time in a vase 🌻
6. Zinnias. So easy to grow. Pollinators love them. They look amazing in a yard. I’ll never not grow these! 🤩

Those are my favorite cut flowers to grow! What are yours?

This weekend Don and Preston went camping and I st

This weekend Don and Preston went camping and I stayed home. I went in his room missing him. And couldn’t help but think of all the happy memories represented in his room! ✨

Don and I were recently discussing how bright colors hurt his eyes. I think it’s fascinating that people all see color differently so that effects what colors you want in your home. 🌈

I’ve never gotten so much hate for a room than I have for this one. But I knew I’d get some resistance when I started and I went all out designing the exact room my instincts say he needed. He choose so much of the space. And I added in what I thought he’d love and would best serve him. ✨

As time goes on, I know this room will need to evolve with his age and newest obsessions. And I’m happy to take his lead on that.🐈

For now, this is such a happy space for him (and me). I’m lucky I get this old soul to decorate with 💗

It’s done! 🥹 My rainbow bandana dress! 🌈✨👗

Ok so who thought this would take me 5 days of stitching and dyeing and cutting- oh my! 🪡🧵

But now I have a dress made of thrifted (and some new) bandanas. My sister even found me one of the bandanas in France! 💗

Two things I want to say- look at vintage linens and try to imagine a new life they could live! Old textiles are so special. It’s really fun to give them a second chance! 🥰

2- I decided I wanted to learn to sew clothes for myself a few years ago. And do I started sewing. And I made mistakes and used my seam ripper and started again. And it’s been so fun to learn! You can do this too!🙌🏻

Anyway, I’ve loved making this. And it was too much work. And I’ll cherish this bespoke little fiber art dress! What do you think of it? 🤔

A full tutorial for how I made this is on my blog today! 👩🏻‍💻

Who remembers when I dyed my tub pink?! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

This was when we owned our house in Florida. And I learned the hard way-
Dye fabric in a metal pot or plastic bin! 🚰
Tubs can get stained from dye! 🛁

It eventually faded away, but scrubbing the tub for three days straight wasn’t my idea of a good time 🙃

Ps I’ve been dying bandanas in my stories for my next project! And it’s looking so good! 💗

Some of my favorite second hand finds in the playroom 🐅

I’ve been working on the playroom- finishing up the wallpaper and painting the furniture (which needs finessing- what do you think so far?) 🎨

My favorite part of the room are the vintage finds. I tried to find stuff Don would love and could play with that’d add some playful style. ✨

What’s your favorite second hand item in here? 🤔

I must not tell a lie, I did add a few cats to my living room for this slightly unhinged video 🤣🤣

People have been telling me for years my house looks like Professor Umbridge’s (from Harry Potter) office. You know, the one full of cat figurines and plates. 🐈

I don’t know if they’re trying to be mean, but I take it as a compliment. I DO have a lot of cats in here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ps I made this hat and love it so much. Except it is very tall and I’ve ran it into quite a few things. Warning- I will be wearing it to anything even relatively Halloween themed this fall 😂🎃

5 years ago this yard was just dead grass. 🙈

We’ve spent so many hours trying to make it special. ✨

And now it is 🥹

There’s special touches and hidden corners. There’s beautiful plants and relaxing seats. There’s quiet places to read and magical hide outs. 🏡

It is not perfect. I have a lot more dreams for out there. But such a good start 💗✨

If you want a longer tour, I have a blog post up with before and after photos. Plus a 15 minute video yard tour. 👩🏻‍💻

My biggest message with a yard is to just start work on it! You don’t need a big vision for the whole space. One small project will inspire another. Little by little, a little will become a lot 💗

Pergola swags from affordable canvas drop cloths?

Pergola swags from affordable canvas drop cloths? Yes please 🙌🏻🌈

If you can sew a straight line- you can make these. The color is SO magical in person! It transforms the space! And adds lots of shade ⛱️

I made these a few years ago, but the sun bleached the color out of them. So yesterday I took a few hours to dye them back. 💧

Im so glad I did! This is where you’ll find me for the rest of summer. And next year these will be ready to go 🤗☀️

Do you love them? Would you add something like this to your yard? 💗

I have a full tutorial on my blog if you want to make them too! Link in bio 👩🏻‍💻

Why you should grow zinnias 💐 1. Super easy to

Why you should grow zinnias 💐

1. Super easy to grow! Put seeds directly in the ground after the first frost and you’ll get lots of flowers. They’re beginner friendly! 🌱
2. Never buy seeds again! Once the mature flowers are spent, let dry, pull out the petals and at the end are seeds to plant next year 🌼
3. Attract pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds LOVE zinnias! 🦋🐝
4. Long vase life. They last 7-12 days in a vase. This makes them a great cut flower garden addition ⚱️
5. Low maintenance- zinnias love sun. They grow in zone 2-11. ☀️
6. Get loads of flowers from early summer to fall. The more you cut, the more that grow. ✂️
7. Adds a lot of color to the garden! They are also a great companion plant to go with vegetables 🌈
8. Drought tolerant. It’s native to Mexico and. You can get by with water once a week 💦

Have you grown zinnias? What’s your favorite thing about them? 🤔
