I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi there! I’m Brittany. This is my blog.

Welcome to my Internet space for all things creative! I’m a communications professional by day and a creative, DIY-loving houseplant hobbyist by night. 

What you’ll find here—mostly DIY projects, houseplant care and propagation guides, woodworking projects, and a few other random things.

We live in a townhouse, so when it comes to DIY, I trend toward projects for smaller spaces or projects that have multiple uses. I try to be intentional with my creations, so I don’t do a ton of big DIY projects. Only stuff we really need or want.

I’m also on the thriftier side of things—I love a good bargain or second-hand find. I don’t think you have to spend a lot of money to create beautiful things.

And I also love plants. I often hear people talk about how they can’t keep plants alive, but it’s not that hard! I love to fill my home with plants and share articles about easy-to-care-for houseplants based on my own experience learning through trial and error. It’s all about building confidence.

What’s your back story?

I’ve gained a lot of my skills through reading, watching, and trial and error. My dad is a licensed general contractor and is extremely talented, so I’ve learned a lot from him over the years. I have been blogging here since 2015 and love sharing my projects to inspire others🙂

When people hear about my blog, they usually think it’s like an Etsy store and ask me what I sell. I tell them I don’t sell products, I sell ideas…except you don’t have to pay to read my posts! I make money to keep this side gig running through ads, affiliate relationships, and partnerships with brands. You can read more about all of those things on my disclosure page. It isn’t exactly a page-turner, but I like to be upfront with everyone who lands here.

What projects are you most proud of?

Here are a few links for you to get started with! They will give you a feel for my style and the type of content you’ll find here. Prepare to be dazzled!

What else do you do?

Can I put a link in one of your posts?

No. Please don’t email me asking me to link to a guide you wrote or a post you think would be a “valuable resource for my readers.” I only link to resources I either find organically or find through friends. I’m sorry, I don’t participate in link-building schemes, especially for payment.

Do you accept guest posts?

No. I do not accept guest posts from strangers who are only looking to submit a post to get links. I only work with other small creators, sorry!

How can I contact you?

If you have a question, would like to get in touch about working together, or just want to chat, you can contact me via email ([email protected]). You can also link up with me via a DM on Instagram.

Whichever way you contact me, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! Thanks for stopping by!
