Hi there! I’m Emily Harper, a Texas-based home design enthusiast, DIY lover, and mom to two rambunctious kids and a golden retriever named Max. For over a decade, I’ve been diving into the world of home renovations, interior design, and gardening, sharing everything I learn along the way.

My journey started when my husband and I bought a charming—but very outdated—1940s home. Renovating it room by room (often with a toddler running around!) taught me the ins and outs of creating a space that feels both beautiful and functional. Over the years, I’ve developed a knack for budget-friendly makeovers, upcycling furniture, and crafting clever solutions for everyday home challenges.

I’m also a passionate gardener and love turning even the tiniest outdoor space into a lush oasis. Whether you’re looking for tips on growing fresh veggies, maintaining your lawn, or creating a cozy patio vibe, I’ve got you covered.

On this blog, you’ll find practical advice, inspiring before-and-after stories, and plenty of DIY projects to spark your creativity. My goal is to help you transform your home and garden into spaces you absolutely love—without breaking the bank!

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to grab a cup of coffee (or sweet tea if you’re in the South like me!) and stay awhile. Let’s make your house a home, one project at a time.

Warmly,
Emily 💛
