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...

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,...
I am so thankful for my house--but I hate the front exterior. I always have. It took me forever to even figure out how I could make it look pretty at all (Update: Here is what I decided to do!), but I always knew I wanted to add and paint vinyl shutters and window...
