With spring just around the corner, I’m excited to share this super easy and versatile DIY hanging planter from my friends at Shutterfly! Houseplants can really add some vibrance and texture to any room, not to mention the incredible health benefits some varieties can bring to your home. A popular trend I’ve seen lately are vertical and hanging indoor herb gardens which look beautiful in kitchens. This DIY also makes it easy to customize the planter to your home’s decor and color scheme. So whether you’re just looking to brighten up your home or start an indoor garden, I thought this project would be a great way to get you started…

The “ABCs” of Shopping!

I’ve been doing a lot of talking about our wonderful weekend trip to New York City a couple weeks ago!  It was my first visit and one I won’t soon forget!  And even though it was a whirlwind couple of days, we had so much fun packing in shopping, eating, and TONS of sight seeing!  Anyone who’s had the good fortune to spend time there knows that there’s no end to all the things you can do and see in that great city…so we need to go again, and again…and again!  When I asked one of my friends, who’s very familiar with the city, what shops we should see while we were there she told me that I absolutely HAD to visit ABC Carpet & Home….ABC Carpet & Home?? I wasn’t expecting that one.  Sounding a bit utilitarian, I have to admit initially it didn’t sound all that appealing.  But knowing she has such impeccable taste I went straight to the computer and googled…let me tell you that she was so totally right!  I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome their site is…and it goes without saying that the real deal is even better!  Let me share with you some of the best shopping I’ve ever experienced…
