So apparently it's Plant Week on the blog. Like Shark Week except much more fast-paced and thrilling. I shared my take on a succulent wreath Tuesday (so far it's still alive though the moss seems to dry out super quickly so I've been misting it with water often). And today I am sharing how I…

Read part one here. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have the office done. And by done, I mean fully functional, yet sparse. When I look at these photos I think, "hmmmm, that looks a little… empty?" and then I remember that that was exactly the plan. I needed a space that…

When we lived in Oxnard, there was a lady at our local's farmer's market that was always selling succulent wreaths. I was obsessed. They were gorgeous and seemed so complex. How'd she put them together? Did they actually last longer than a month? Where did she get all the succulents? Then when we moved to…

I saw this grid frame* on Pinterest and immediately a light bulb flashed. This is the ideal frame for a photo progression collage. You know the ones – one frame, multiple holes, photos from repeating years to show growth and change. My parents have one with photos of all the houses that we have lived…

I filled this wall with Instagram photos as part of a project for the Big Picture Phone Photography class that ran this past summer. I ordered a few copies of 75 different…

A tiled floor that says "you look good" has been making the rounds on Pinterest lately. It's rad and reminds me of a hotel we stayed at once in San Francisco that had the same message on the bathroom mirrors. I wish I could do that, I thought and then realized that I totally could…

So remember when I shared this awesome candle holder from A Subtle Revelry? I finally made my own version. I'm a little annoyed at myself that it took so long, this was easier than I thought it would be. My "challenge" was that I wanted the candles to be a bit larger than normal birthday…

Yes. I know. It's a little early to start blogging Christmas projects. Please know that I have no plans to bypass Thanksgiving (it's my favorite holiday!), but the thing about DIY Christmas projects is that if I wait until December to share them, there's a good chance they are not actually helpful to try for…

Since we built the new media stand, I've been very slowly adding to the art around the TV. This wall is the one I look at most frequently (that's sad, but true) so it's been considered probably more than any other space in the house. Instead of just filling it in all in one day,…
