Garden

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your yard does not need to look like a fireworks factory exploded on it to feel festive. Every year I tell myself, “Keep it simple.” And every year I’m tempted by glittery flags, plastic star garlands, and something that lights up for absolutely no reason. So […]

I didn’t start a balcony garden because I’m naturally organized or effortlessly “green thumb.” I started because I was tired of looking at an empty outdoor space that felt pointless.

Looking for a simple way to bring fresh greenery into your kitchen? An indoor herb garden adds both function and visual interest while keeping fresh ingredients within easy reach.

Have you been dreaming about a patio upgrade but not the price tag that usually comes with it? Pea gravel is one of those materials that quietly does a lot of work. It is affordable, flexible, and surprisingly beautiful when styled with intention. Yet many outdoor spaces overlook it in favor of poured concrete or
