With costs rising 😬, I’ve been talking to clients about keeping home decor cozy, personal, and budget-friendly.
Your outdoor space should reflect your personality and make life easy. Here’s how I’m keeping it simple… 😉
1. Said goodbye to mums & pumpkins. 🎃 Mums just die because I stop watering them, and pumpkins end up eaten by squirrels 🐿️… plus, they’re a pain to haul away afterwards (I don’t have farm animals to feed! 🐮).
2. Clipped hydrangeas straight from the garden. ✂️ Filled the pool house wall basket for $0. Pretty, seasonal, and already growing in my backyard!
3. Gave the firewood rack a new home. 🪵🔥 Moved it under the porch overhang to keep the wood dry for fires while adding a little warmth and rustic charm to the outdoor space.
Cheap, cheerful, and low-maintenance — just how home should feel. 🍂✨
Cheers to loving where you live! 🤎
