we spent years building and refinishing furniture
while living in Chicago
garage sales … estate sales … barn sales
we were always on the lookout for solid pieces that we could fix up and make new again
salvage : recycle : reuse
CLICK HERE to see some of those transformations
but when we moved to ARIZONA in 2019
we wanted to try something new
after remodeling and flipping 2 condos in Scottsdale
we found a great space … with incredible bones
and … i had a plan
I still do … stay tuned for more about that
but we had to get a bit dirty first
we knocked down a few walls to make the spaces feel connected moved a ton of rock and dirt to level out the yard … and added over 100 feet of retaining wall for design and stability and then filled it in with an assortment of cacti, succulents and other native plants
while working on that project
I absolutely fell in love with propagating cacti
which has now turned into an obsession …
literally … just ask my husband
(It’s true … I will admit it … I HAVE A PROBLEM … you don’t really need to call him)
I dug into everything plants
(did you see what I did there? just trying to be “punny”)
house plants … how to garden in the desert … water propagation … herbs for healing/natural remedies … essential oils
and as you can see …
we’re under construction … again
but it’s almost done … i promise
(this time you CAN ask my husband … LOL … cuz it’s been a LONG process and he’s over it)
and yep …
there’s still a plan
