How a data nerd approaches DIY home improvement projects

I started 2021 by buying an 1885 hulk of a home, sight unseen, with visions of restoring its earlier grandeur. In almost two years, I’ve restored three of many rooms and tackled multiple smaller projects, by myself.

growing dahlias – my do’s and dont’s and learning as you go

I’ve been growing dahlias here for six or seven years now. It started with a tuber I found in a bargain corner at the garden center, and which turned out to be the most beautiful café au lait! I was immediately hooked, and have been growing them ever since, in increasing quantities each year.

Like everything else in the garden, there is an element of trial and error in growing dahlias. It took me a while for example to understand that I can leave some dahlias in the ground in certain parts of the garden, whereas elsewhere I have to

As you consider what you need 2023 to seem like, you may begin to envision modifications you can also make round your private home. However you do not have to all the time take main steps like flattening partitions or ripping out cupboards to make house enhancements.

Beautiful Antique Cupboard new look

Yesterday was a day inside out of the heat… and so, some restyling happened. I originally set out thinking I wanted to declutter some of the china in the 14.5′ long but it kind of took off in an unusual direction.

You see, all those thrifting Thursdays have been adding bits of fabulous plates, pitchers, tchotchkes and the like to the cabinet. Which, is okay in small amounts- but sometimes, it just gets to be a bit too busy looking. And as much as I am a collector and love to have pretty things all around- I do
