What’s Going on in the World of Shiplap and Shells

I have been enjoying some INSIDE garden therapy once again, by planning which flowers I will be planting in my 2021 cut flower garden. I bought my flower seeds last Tuesday, and am so excited for spring! I’m continuing to plan where I’ll be growing my many varieties of blooms in my garden.

If you missed any of my many garden 2020 posts, I’ve got you covered! You can read My Cottage Garden Year in Review here.



This is the first upcycle project I’ve done in quite awhile. My husband paid $5.00 for it at a garage sale, and when he brought it home, I told him he paid too much for it! See what a little glue and paint can do.

I’m still working on taking down the rest of the holiday decor and transitioning to winter. I hope to have everything done by the end of the weekend. Have you put away your holiday decor? Are you already clean and organized?

What I’m Working on for Next Week:


I’ll be sharing some ideas for planning your garden. I’m working on a post about our kitchen renovation project with before and after pictures. And I’ll share how I transitioned my home from holiday to winter ( yes, I know. I’m super late in sharing this). Better late than never!


Check Out the Amazing Inspiration I Found This Week Around the Web…

Leslie of My 100 Year Old Home shares tips when styling your kitchen after the holidays. She has one of the most beautiful kitchens around!


I got so much inspiration from Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home with her winter decorating with paperwhites.


More Inspiration…

How to make the most of a small closet.

Helpful holiday storage hacks.

I needed these winter decorating tips.

Transitioning from holiday to winter decor.

Do you need an amazing recipe for soup?

These look like the best chocolate chip cookies ever.

I need to use this home cleaning schedule.

    So good to hear from you!
    It’s only January but I would love to plant some spring flowers around my old hay rake in my yard! Think it would be really pretty for spring! Is now the time to plants seeds?
    Thanks for all the other ideas also!
    Have a great day

      Seeds you are planting directly into the garden can be planted after your last frost date. I’m starting sweet peas first, which are about 10 weeks before the last frost date and planted inside. Thanks for visiting Margie.

    Really enjoying your site. Thanks for sharing! We have a beautiful 10 year old Cottage Garden here on the north coast of California. BUT unexpectedly got a new golden retreiver puppy…..HELP 80% of my plants are toxic!!!!! So now what do I do??? Foxglove, sweetpeas, dahlia and all the typical plants are a daily battle. Hope you can give some hints on what to do next.

    I enjoy these wrap up posts! I was just casually clicking through your links while I nursed the baby. I gasped out loud in surprise when I clicked on the cleaning schedule one! Thank you for sharing my post! Also, you inspire me to start planning for my Spring garden!

    Nothing on my Floret wish list seems to be in stock =(. School started back this week so I couldn’t be online when they opened and order at that time. Hoping things will restock! I am looking forward to seeing your garden grow.

      That’s so sad. I’m sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case every year now. They have become so popular. I do hope you’ve given them your email to be notified when they get more seeds in stock. Crossing my fingers!

    One of my favorite posts of the week, Kim! I always learn so much with all the tips and tricks you share. I’m super excited to follow along on your garden this year too. Those seed packets were pretty enough to frame 🙂 Hugs and happy weekend, CoCo
