In this episode, I’m trying my hand at floral design with this dahlia centerpiece, we are getting inspired by a recent family outing to the Morton Arboretum, and harvesting tomatoes while reflecting back on this season.
Picking Flowers for Drying
This season I tried my hand at growing cut flowers for drying. I can’t wait to use the flowers for some beautiful crafts this fall!
Double Knock Out Roses
Spring finally decided to show its face. Actually, here in the Chicago area, we went from winter right into summer! I feel like this happens every year and slowly our spring and fall seasons are fading out. Since the weather has been nicer, I’ve been able to spend more time outdoors. My backyard is truly my sanctuary. I’m always drawn to it whether it’s morning coffee or a moment of silence to enjoy the birds chirping. Realizing that I devote a great deal of time to this space, I’m encouraged to transform it into something more.

Recycling Furniture and Hallway Transformation
Check out this furniture flip where I refinished a pantry to match the rest of my home! I’ve got some exciting news! Recently, I’ve decided to start my own YouTube channel!! I’ve caught the DIY bug again and I have been working tirelessly on making my house a haven. The transformation has made such an impact on the overall feel of the home and I have a long list of things I still want to transform.
