About Me:

Single homeowner who dreams of turning her 1.5 story, three bedroom, 2 bath house into one that has more of a beachy feel to it. Grew up in the south and my heart is still there even though I live in the north now. Every room in my house needs improvement, including the basement whcih gets water in it during torrential rain storms. I am learning more and more each day on what I can do with this house..

Favorite area of home improvement:

Spring, summer and fall - anything outdoors, Wintertime is for indoor projects. Actually, there are many days I wish I could just bulldoze this house over and start again (that is once I get my personal keepsakes out of it). Hoping to have a combination flower and fruit/vegetable garden this year big enough for myself, couple of neighbors and take left overs to the local soup kithcen. I am always on the hunt for bargains and sales, no matter if it is for interior or exterior use, as well as unusual and beautiufl designs. I love trying to put what is in my over creeative head into action with a body that is not so cooperative on the creative level.

  • Easily age your terra cotta pots resulting in a beautiful aged patina.
  • Grab whatever paint you have on hand, think creamy antique colors, a sponge and wax.  The wax will protect it from moisture and make the pots more durable.
  • Mix the paint with a good amount of wax till smooth.
  • Take a sponge and apply the paint mixture onto the terra-cotta pot leaving certain areas of the pot lightly exposed.
  • That's it, I swear, took about 2 minutes per pot.

  • Forget-me-not-like flowers of Brunnera 'Jack Frost'
  • The Shade Path garden: Variegated Solomon Seal (Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum') in front of the blue flowers of Brunnera 'Jack Frost'. 1
  • View down the Shade Path this May... forget-me-nots (Myosotis), chartreuse inflorescence of Euphorbias, hosta, ferns and many others.
  • Our new Fothergilla bush is flowering this month, and goes so nicely with the Euphorbia!
  • This pretty patch work is of a lungwort (Pulmonaria) and a wood spurge (Euphorbia).
  • Tulip 'White Parrot'...Parrot tulips are known for their unusual markings and shape. It is a nice, frilly addition to the front of the sunny end of this garden that is mostly in shade.

  • The happy round leaves just dance in the garden...and grow in and around other plants.
  • There is a downloadable information sheet and recipes on the link.
  • These darlings come in several colors, I love all of them.
  • The small round leaves put me in the mind of lotus'....which we can't grow here...but nasturtiums grow almost everywhere.
  • How beautiful are these nasturtiums as a garnish next to my sauteed cabbage and roasted red peppers?

Nasturtiums
