May I Bend Your Ear?
My gracious! It’s been quite the month!
First things first: the ORC is just not happening. There’s still time to get it done, but we have too many projects happening consecutively AND it is Maycemeber — if you have kids in school, you know what THAT means! So, the laundry room is partially done and is very much on hold.
Yes, I’m loving having countertop in my entryway, thanks for asking!
But what am I doing?
Well, let’s talk about it!
To begin, we are just a few weeks away from the one-year anniversary of the Wildlife Garden project, and I am taking stock of this big project with all kinds of content coming including plant lists, planting instructions, and a whole lot more! So stay tuned!
Additionally, we are getting ready for a HUGE backyard project — the last piece in our master plan. I’ll be unrolling this on Instagram, so be sure you’re following me there for all of the details!
And then there’s all of the busyness of gardening in May! That’s one of the things about gardening in Colorado — there is a lot of hurry-up-and-wait-now- GO! With late spring snowstorms and freezes, it feels like May is an absolute avalanche of gardening work!
So there we are!

New DIY Tutorials!
I have several new DIY tutorials up. Check them out!
I have a few new tutorials and a summary page for all of the One Room Challenge tutorials, too. I hope you will check them all out! Seriously — this cute little container for my dryer balls took about 15 minutes, and was super easy! And making duvet covers from sheets: a breeze!
And on this page you will find links to all 14 DIY project tutorials from our Guest Room Refresh — everything from the Ikea bed frame hack to lining a cupboard with wrapping paper and so much more. Enjoy!
Repurposing Vintage Linens
Washing vintage linens and turning them into no-sew curtains
My grandmother died this summer at the age of 97. One of the mementos I chose from her home after her death, was a pile of vintage linens -- handkerchiefs, aprons, towels, table linens, and sheets. I've started to repurpose them, and today I am sharing my first projects! Click on the photos below to read about my experiments with laundering the first batch of vintage linens as well as the no-sew curtains I made from sheets and table runners!
And don't forget: The Nice List is available for preorder on Kickstarter! We are almost 25% funded! Hooray! Order your copy now!
