Over the last week or so, I’ve spent quite a bit of my evenings on YouTube watching videos and getting inspired for some outdoor projects I want to do. And one evening, rather than watching longer videos, I started scrolling through YouTube shorts. The YouTube algorithm first started showing me shorts from creators I follow,...

The post A.I. Slop Is Taking Over The DIY Space On Social Media (And Most People Can’t Recognize It) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

We actually had some beautiful weather over the weekend, so I headed outside, determined to make some progress on the front porch. I really wanted to get the old, rotted fascia boards removed and replaced with PVC boards, and then make some headway on the skirting to cover up the concrete. Just as a reminder,...

The post Front Porch Progress (And Idea Fail) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

I had every intention of working on the front porch yesterday. I gathered my tools, headed outside, and started working on the porch. I fully intending to get the old, rotted fascia boards removed, get the new fascia boards installed, and then make some headway on the new porch skirting. But about 30 minutes into...

Matt and I have been in our current house since late 2013, so roughly 12.5 years (if I did my math right, which is always questionable). In those years, this house has been part home, part project. If I were to plot that on a continuum, with the left extreme of that continuum being 100%...

Let’s start with the entryway. We don’t have an official entryway. Our front door opens into the large front...

The post And Now I’m Planning A Catio appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating®.

Do you remember Tiger? He’s the stray cat that just appeared one day when I was working outside about a year-and-a-half ago. He was super friendly, so I started feeding him every day. And naturally, he started sticking pretty close to our house all the time, sometimes sleeping underneath or on top of the van...

My entryway console table makeover is finally finished! I already know that people’s opinions will be split on this, but I ended up painting the console table rather than trying to use gel stain to try to preserve a natural wood finish. After looking around the living room and music room (i.e., the two adjoining...

I had to skip out on y’all yesterday morning because I was meeting with the plumber. He got here earlier than expected, and then while he was here, I got his input on some other things as well. My kitchen sink still isn’t fixed, but he’ll be back today to do all of the work....
