Gallery Wall for a Long Hallway

On August 9, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

Hey!  Let’s not ask someone (i.e., me) who can’t follow a straight line to build a beautifully composed gallery wall. 🤣 Remember my original mish mosh attempt at a gallery wall?  Not very impressive. A few …

On July 29, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

We have two verrrry long hallways in our house. No surprise that one is directly one floor above the other, but the one I’m tackling now is the recently painted downstairs back hall. Truth be …

Christmas in July?

On July 25, 2015 By Em D In Christmas, Holidays

Christmas in July has never done it for me. Not that the normal Christmas marketing season is much less offensive, but, wow…that’s always seemed way over the top. That said: yes, I am thinking about Christmas…in …

I just wanted to take a moment to pay homage to July. I love July… My normally freezing feet love July. I love the hot sun, the thunder storms, the occasional teeming rain. I love …

Hosta Garden: a Shady Solution

On July 21, 2015 By Em D In Garden, Outside Projects

My mom has always been a fan of hostas, a leafy garden staple for shady spots. I thought they were nice, but preferred the color punch of annuals and flowering perennials. Hubs was not a …

Oh, Deer…(Deterrent)!

On July 13, 2015 By Em D In Outside Projects

  With a new hosta garden nearly completed (more on that later), we wanted to keep our latest plantings from becoming a wildlife salad bar. I’ve found a lot of great tips on Pinterest and …

Adventures in Dishwashing Detergent… (it’s not you, it’s me)

On July 6, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Other, Uncategorized

I can be a little headstrong. I see those dishwashing detergent commercials and SMH when the family loads their pans and icky casserole dishes into the machine and pulls them out sparkling. Yeah, sure. I’d …

LET IT GO, Let It Go…

On May 27, 2015 By Em D In Birds

Ah, the Bird-Fell-Out-Of-The-Nest Dilemma… I just came across my first-of-the-season chick in the grass…well, actually, Kelly did. As any self-respecting Labrador would, she usually toys with her happy discoveries…but knowing I was clued in, she …

Banded Drapery Panels

On May 12, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Window Treatments

Hey, Honey…how are those window treatments coming? You would think I was deciding on a tatoo…not what kind of curtains to hang in the bedroom! I consider Band-aid Decor a quick fix, a small investment of …

You found me!

Hi, I'm Em!
Did you follow the smoke from the garden cart fire?
Yeah...that was me.

I'm all about real-world DIY...
Meaning the "D" usually stands for "do" ... but, hey, sometimes it's a "debacle" that fills the neighborhood with billowing smoke.

So, let's hang out together while I play with home decor, DIY projects, gardening and home improvement.

The nest is empty, but I live with Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.
