You know how everyone loved gray for the last deca You know how everyone loved gray for the last decade and I was over here like, “I’ll take and love this old house full of warm toned wood everywhere, thanks?” Yep. Just a little encouragement/reminder to not feel pressured to follow (or particularly care about) trends. 🤎 Skip the cool neutrals and give me all the drab colors, baby. I love them.

I’ve added three varieties of Seaside Serenade H I’ve added three varieties of Seaside Serenade Hydrangeas from @monroviaplants to the garden! They are a good size to fit into my existing garden beds, each reaching 3-4’ tall and wide, they have sturdy stems so they won’t flop (hooray!), and thicker leaves to resist wilting. And they rebloom! You can see more in my Stories. #sponsored
I avoided *common* annuals when I first started ga I avoided *common* annuals when I first started gardening. Petunias, begonias, impatiens… yawn, boring. I wanted the obscure! The unusual! Surely I shouldn’t include such overused plants if I want my yard to be interesting, right? Welp. I’ve planted all of the above this year, and I’ve been doing so for a while now. That planter you see here is filled with one itty bitty sweet potato vine and one small petunia pot. There’s a perennial salvia in there too but you can barely see it. It’s the petunias that are going strong here. They’re common for a reason - they flower and flower and give it their all for a $10 investment in the spring. #thelovelygarden #makingitlovely
We’ve been using our Odin touch faucet from @bri We’ve been using our Odin touch faucet from @brizoanddeltachicago for a while now, and it has finally happened. I was in another kitchen and I went to use the sink with a tap before remembering that not all faucets are *fancy.* It’s my favorite feature! Hands are messy? Boom. Just tap with the forearm. Washing your hands and don’t want to leave the faucet running while you lather up? Tap on, tap off, tap on… super convenient. Touch faucets are the best, especially when they’re this pretty. #sponsored #designwithbrizodeltachicago #brizoanddeltachicago #mydeltavoiceIQ #brizo #deltafaucet #mybrizodeltachicago #sourcedatbrizoanddeltachicago
Go! Go!
I’ve been working on the garden and now I’m co I’ve been working on the garden and now I’m concentrating on a quarter-circle-shaped section in back. From where I’m standing, the left side is looking lush with sun king aralia, solomon’s seal, brunnera, lungwort, astilbe, foamflower, hellebore, and hosta. I haven’t laid out the right side as well yet, but there are more hostas, the scrawniest dogwood tree sapling, and three oakleaf hydrangeas. There’s a bobo hydrangea in an antique wash basin planter that has survived several winters, and a viburnum that was supposed to take up space in the middle but just kinda hasn’t. #thelovelygarden #makingitlovely
