As much as I love carving up a spooky jack-o’-lantern for Halloween, sometimes I want to craft without getting my hands covered in pumpkin guts, and these creepy plant cemeterrariums might just be my new holiday obsession. Made with Halloween-inspired miniatures — like skeletons, vampires, pumpkins, headstones, bats, and more — the plant terrariums are totally customizable, which means you can make them as spooky or as cute as you want. You can even challenge your family and friends to see whose cemeterrarium is worthy of being placed in Jack Skellington’s tower. Personally, I’ll be filling mine with as many mini pumpkins as I can find.
The haunting, cemetery-themed terrariums are perfect for satisfying that DIY itch that appears around the holidays. Best of all, they don’t involve dealing with week-old newspapers stacked high with ooey-gooey piles of pumpkin guts. So catch me hitting up Michaels, Target, Etsy, and the
When Molly Miller moved into her new house last summer, the kitchen was dark, with black countertops and only one small window. And, “it had beautiful, early 2000s cabinetry,” she says. “The people before us really loved that honey oak. They really loved it.”
She has a friend who repainted her kitchen herself, and thought about giving it a try since she was staying home due to the pandemic. “I started looking into it, and I didn’t think I could do a very good job,” she says. “I didn’t want it to look junky. I wanted it to look professional.”
She hired painters in June, and about a week and $3,000 later, she had bright white cabinets and no more honey-hued oak.
“I love it. No regrets,” says Miller, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Dyer, Indiana. “It looks cleaner, brighter. A new, fresher kitchen will bring me joy

With the help of his children, Knoxville, Tenn., resident Matt Harris put the finishing touches on his dream treehouse on Father’s Day.
Matt Harris
For years, Matt Harris dreamed about building a treehouse out behind his back fence in Knoxville, Tenn. He never got around to it, though, until the pandemic hit.
“It was just a matter of finding time,” Harris says. “And that didn’t come until everything kind of shut down for a little bit.”
When the coronavirus canceled youth sports for the season, Harris suddenly found his weekends free. And his children — ages 8, 7 and 4 — made a willing construction crew.
“They were good measurers and markers of the wood,” Harris says. “You don’t let

Now that spring is officially here, it’s time to start gardening. I look forward to getting dirt under my nails each year.

Instead, I decided to

I am just slightly excited about this DIY Bathroom Mirror Storage Case I am sharing today. Ok, just kidding. I’m giddy! I shared a little sneak peek on INSTAGRAM last week, and I am so happy to finally reveal the whole thing! I have imagined it in my head, and the results are even better than I was hoping. I have always wanted a full length mirror. It makes checking out the final outfit before heading out the door so much easier than using the reflection of my glass shower door or my blank computer screen 😉 I thought it would be so great to add some function to this new mirror. May as well kill two birds with one stone! I decided to build a big storage case behind the mirror to hold all my goodies and I am LOVING the results! Here is how it turned out!
