Operation: REPLACE SHUTTERS!

by

As you may have noticed, we've been making a lot of effort on upping our curb appeal this summer. It can be so easy to just focus on whatever the big renovation project is INDOORS at the moment, but we also want to take advantage of this gorgeous end-of-summer weather and make some small changes to the exterior of our house! They add up to feeling like BIG changes when it's all said and done! ... [ Read More ]

Raspberry Scones

by

Your girl loves to bake! And since I also love to wake up early, scones are a regular at our house! We love to have raspberry scones, but you could add any fruit to this scone recipe and it'll be a WIN! You could even make chocolate chip scones, and I'm guessing zero people in your family will complain. ;) I haven't figured out the fancy 'printable option' that food bloggers have, but you ...

Test Tube Propagation Station Tutorial

by

I've been needing to figure out a solution for my overwhelming plant propagation situation for some time now. I mean, I always have a lot of plants propagating at any given time, but after I shared the Pothos Propagation Tutorial a few weeks ago, I am OVERRUN with cuttings that are in old jelly jars, drinking glasses, and anything else I can find. *This post is sponsored by our friends at ...

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.

Hey friends! I recently shuffled some things around in my studio, and it really got my creative juices flowing! Don't you love it when that happens?

Plaster-Hardened Fabric Planters

by

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?! I hadn't ever used Plaster of Paris for something like this, so I played around with it a bit, and it's so fun! I'm going to share the process with you today so you can make yourself some of these plaster-hardened fabric planters! *This post is ... [ Read More ]

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 ]
