It’s really easy to get carried away with all the progress you have NOT gotten done. Right now, ¾ of my house is white, with an un-limewashed square right by one of my neighbors. BUT, I recently saw a picture of my front porch when we first bought it… and it reminded...
Everyone and their mother talks about the color of your front door. But since approximately 76% (you can trust me, I completely made up that statistic) of the population has a storm door or screen door in front of their actual front door… WHY AREN’T WE TALKING ABOUT...
In 2018, I had the idea of putting a window planter box in front of my house. But when I started shopping online, I was totally shocked by how expensive they were. $70 for ONE window box?! I barely had $70 to spare, let alone double--so it was a pretty easy decision...
Ah, the 1970’s. Seems like it was a great time. But can we all collectively agree that maybe our homes should change a little bit in the, ya know, 50 years since the 70s? Lots of people on TikTok did NOT agree, but here we go anyway. This project was done on my friend...

I really hate when people think window boxes can only be used in the Spring and Summer. The whole reason I built & hung a window box was because my house was desperate for the extra curb appeal--in every season! There was no way I was taking them down after a few...
This might be a first for all you stock photo-loving Instagram people out there--I am going to show the internet the very ugly exterior of my house. Do you ever look at "before" pictures on DIY blogs and think, "That's already better than what I have!" I definitely...
When I was "researching" (which really means pinning things on Pinterest) how to paint your front door, I kept seeing all these diagrams like this: Whaaaaaaaat the junk am I looking at? Well I'm here to tell you that you can put away your calculator and protractor,...
