We bought a fixer upper made in 1978 so we have done quite a few remodel work over the years. Most recently, we had a flood in the hall so we are in the process of replacing items in the hall bathroom and flooring throughout a good portion of the house. These are items we used or very similar.
As an earth sign, I am drawn to greenery, plants, stone, and natural wood tones. As a Capricorn specifically, I am also drawn to a modern twist on the more organic bohemian styling. I like clean lines and interesting textures. I find my tabletop planters second-hand, BUT they must have a drainage hole. In a room with a wall of windows, wall decor that's living is my favorite type of artwork. Hanging planters, either from a hook or a wall pot, and switching up the colors and textures with the plants themselves is so fun. I stick to the hard-to-kill plants as I tend to either over-love or forget their existence when life gets busy. A few of the ones I haven't been able to kill yet are the classic snake plant, any type of philodendron, succulents, and Spanish moss or other air plants. My favorite place to visit to learn more about indoor plants is Greenspell Plant Shop in downtown Rutland, VT. It is THE cutest (not so little) indoor plant shop with the most knowledgeable employees. All of them = true plant lovers. If you have a question, they have the answer. Like, is this plant poisonous? Is this one carnivorous? Is this pet friendly? Will this one grow to be the size of Kobe? They will let you know! Follow them on Instagram for fun plant facts and to see what's in stock: @greenspell_plantshop. If you are ever in Central Vermont, please stop in to say hello!
I’m a junkie for bedding, I have SO MANY quilts for our bed it’s ridiculous. But I like to change our bedding out seasonally and of course with bi-weekly washing. So having multiple options to rotate through is a must. As are light blankets to throw on for texture and extra snuggly options

How to make your dorm a home away from home. Option 1: Pack the basics and buy what you need when you get to college. Cons: the first couple weeks, the mailroom is crowded and packages might get lost. Or you get whatever is left at the stores near campus. If you have no access to a car, you might need several trips. Option 2: fly With your stuff. Option 3: load the car with IKEA blue bags, compression bags, etc. (As of summer 2023, Target is offering a one time 20% off special for a purchase made by someone with a college ID).

Shower curtains! When I first started painting shower curtains, more than 15 years ago, it was because I was bored with what I could find in the stores. Through the years the business has evolved, with the pandemic forcing a change of pace but offering a new freedom in what designs I could produce. You probably have a shower curtain, and you probably see it every single day, but do you love it?These shower curtains are all ones that I love. Some are old designs in the classic black and white that seems to fit any bathroom and any color scheme. But most of them are newer designs, with bright colors, uplifting images for these dark times, that invigorate me when I'm feeling down, just by looking at them. These shower curtains are all made in the USA but designed in Canada, so you face no tariffs, no duties, but possibly state taxes. Thank you for supporting a Canadian small business (ME!) in these uncertain times!
