Trust the process!! I would venture to say the number 1 requirement of collected style is patience. I looked for over a year for the perfect vintage plant stand for this spot on my porch. I saw pieces that could work online and at homegoods, and I’m so happy I just waited for what I really wanted. Happened upon this little cutie at Antiques @ Annapolis and it is perfect in every way!!

Once a month I join a talented group of ladies to . This month, I’m saying no to empty vases and tabletops!

“Say No to Empty Walls” all about finishing a space—art, baskets, decor, paint, plates, shelfies, trays, wallpaper, and window treatments. As Meryl Meryl King • Chaletmomma Designs always says, “The walls the limit!”

Don’t be a mum murderer this year!! Follow my tips below for success and share with a friend! 👇🏻

1️⃣ CLOSED BUDS - Try to choose a plant that has at least some closed buds. This means the plant is relatively fresh and still has a lot of blooming power. If you can’t find one, just make sure you’re on top of deadheading.

2️⃣ REPOT - Many are root bound and can’t absorb water properly. Give them a new, slightly larger (1-2”) pot to give them room to spread out.

3️⃣ WATER - This is key!! Before repotting, submerge the entire pot in water as I did in this video and allow the plant to become completely soaked. Once repotted, always water from the base directly into the soil. **Set an alarm on your phone so you don’t forget to water—most people aren’t thinking about watering now that summer is over.

4️⃣ DEADHEAD - Take off spent blooms to encourage new growth. You can do this with your hand (my preferred method) or snips. Just cut or snap right below the spent flower head. This is important to keep the plant looking tidy and will ensure it keeps producing more blooms.

Welcome to the corner of Instagram where we believe the best homes—inside and out—are collected slowly, lived in fully, and never really finished.

The more I thought about what I wanted to include in this post, the more I realized that most of these things come back to the same idea. I care deeply about creating a home that feels personal, welcoming and warm—and a garden that feels like a natural extension of it. I want rooms filled with pieces I’ve inherited, stumbled across secondhand, or loved enough to wait for. I want to collect things that matter to me. And I feel the same way about my garden. I want it to evolve as I learn and add to it over the years.

There will be messes and unfinished projects. There will be lots of secondhand hauls and Facebook Marketplace finds—even when I don’t know where I’m putting them!! There will apparently always be another flower I “need.” 😂 And there will be plenty of real life happening in between.

I guess these aren’t really reasons to follow or unfollow me, but just a pretty good description of what you’ll find here. And if that sounds like your kind of place, I’m very glad you’ve found your way. 💕❤️

Surely things could be worse…someone tell my husband. 😅 Also, who else is constantly hearing this song in their head right now?

Okay… why didn’t I think of this?!

I picked up this tip from the “Hydrangea Queen,” Skye Hamilton • Home & Garden • Hydrangea Queen. Thank you, Skye!

After 11 seasons of growing Limelight hydrangeas, this is one of the few things I’ve found that really helps after a heavy rain.

It’s not going to make the stems stand perfectly upright again, but it does remove a surprising amount of excess water from the flower heads, taking off some of the weight and allowing the branches to lift back up.

I noticed a real difference, and there was very little damage to the blooms. I used to shake mine off by hand, but I lost far more flower heads that way—and ended up completely soaked. I’ll definitely be doing this from now on.

Save this for the next time your hydrangeas get caught in a summer downpour! 🌿
