How to Propagate Pothos Plants

by

I titled this post 'How to Propagate Pothos Plants' ...but the truth is, this method for propagating plants can be used on MOST houseplants! And is so easy! I just chose to use Pothos because they're such a common and inexpensive plant, not to mention easy-to-care for! *This post is sponsored by our friends at STIHL.

Patching the Siding from Derecho Damage

by

Hey friends! Nick here... I think I can speak for the entire world when I say... I'm glad 2020 is behind us, of all the things that went horribly wrong in 2020. The rare 'inland hurricane' (Derecho) that hit our Midwestern state of Iowa with zero notice and 140 mph winds is what sticks out in my mind. *This post is sponsored by DAP.

Plaster-Hardened Fabric Planters

I've had this idea in the back of my mind for quite awhile... why not dip fabric in Plaster of Paris to make plaster-hardened fabric planters?!

Plant a Tree for Arbor Day!

by

I, for one, LOVE trees. When we bought our home, there were 4 trees on our acre lot. One towering pine was SO close to the foundation than it needed to be taken down promptly. And another had to be removed for our kitchen addition. Cue allll the tears! WELL, to add insult to injury, our neighborhood was rocked by an EF3 tornado and an inland hurricane called a deracho (within a 2 year time ... [ Read More ]

Split / Shared Room for Siblings

by

I love the idea of my girls sharing a room; whispering and giggling into the night. But lately, they've been expressing their desire to have their own space. After further prodding, I realized the real reason was because they wanted a room of their own TO DECORATE. And then it all made sense! After all, as DIY bloggers, we're constantly painting, rearranging, renovating rooms as they look ... [ Read More ]

Kids Closet Storage Ideas

by

When the twins moved into what used to be the guest bedroom, I knew I had to deal with the closet situation. Even if it wasn't filled with random photography equipment, old prom dresses from 20 years ago, and boxes of memories, this closet still isn't suitable to be a kids closet with all the storage needs that they have. Cringey, right? Se started out by removing all the shelves on the ... [ Read More ]
