Lately I have been really into gardening. I find it relaxes me and I love seeing my little garden bloom! And now I’ve moved onto bringing more houseplants into our new place. I love having plants in each room and I’ll share with you some pictures of our new plant additions. I almost feel like we need to start giving them names like Earl, our Staghorn Fern which I picked up at an estate sale over 15 years ago. They estimated that “he” was already 40 years old. Being so old, you can see why I thought he deserved a name. I went on a hunt to find some easy-to-care-for houseplants…

Have you been wanting to create a gallery wall in your home but not sure where to start? That was my dilemma for oh, probably three years now, so I figured it was time to commit! Commit to trying out some fresh ideas but with some guidance. When Canvas Factory contacted me about collaborating I jumped at the chance as I love the look of photographs on canvas.

Dwell :: Decorating with Aqua, Teal and Turquoise
Colors can evoke such emotion in one don’t you think? I have loved aqua, teal and turquoise for many years now and it is quite apparent since you will find these colors in pretty much every room in our house!
