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

#sponsoredpost There’s still more to do in the #sponsoredpost There’s still more to do in the kitchen before I call it complete, but one big step was installing our new faucets from @brizoanddeltachicago. The Odin touch faucet was a novelty at first, especially to the kids, but it’s becoming second nature to turn the water on and off with a tap now. And filtered water with its own tap? So nice! I have an apron-front sink and soapstone counters coming in soon, but between the faucet upgrade and a new color on the cabinets, the kitchen already feels so much better. #designwithbrizodeltachicago #brizoanddeltachicago #mydeltavoiceIQ #brizo #deltafaucet #mybrizodeltachicago #sourcedatbrizoanddeltachicago

Hoping to avoid plants sitting in their pots forever! Success so far has been mixed. #makingitlovely #thelovelygarden #thelovelyvictorian
