What could be more relaxing than watching your fav

What could be more relaxing than watching your favorite shows from the bathtub? But the problem is how to keep your iPad or tablet safe. So, I designed and built a bathtub tray that holds the tablet securely and won't slip or move if bumped. Now, ALL of my bathroom dreams have come true!

A full, step-by-step tutorial is on the blog at deeplysouthernhome.com. Link in the bio.

Here we go again! This season’s @oneroomchallenge we are taking a different direction! Moody, modern and rock and roll are the just part of the design goals for this Listening Room! I’m so very excited to take you along. I hope you’ll join me! Learn more about the room in the link in the bio.

Two new additions to our primary bathroom that I just LOVE! ⁠
⁠
I designed and built a simple, beautiful and super safe holder for my iPad because I really enjoy watching design, cooking or gardening shows while in the tub!!⁠
⁠
So much thought and care went into this little project. I wanted to be absolutely certain my iPad would be safe. I also wanted it to look simple with a furniture like quality to suit the room. ⁠
⁠
AND that tree!! This Ficus Nitida was very happy for quite some time. I got her back in July and she's grown taller already. ⁠
⁠
Link in the bio for more and a full tutorial of how I designed and built this bathtub tray. ⁠

AD: Let's revive a wooden beverage cart with BEHR

AD: Let's revive a wooden beverage cart with BEHR PREMIUM™ Gloss Spray Paint in Toasty Gray. 1. After thoroughly cleaning, sand the damaged wood until smooth. 2. Choose your color. I selected the color Toasty Gray to blend with the other neutrals of my patio. 3. Since the wood was previously bare, a light sanding after the first coat ensures a smooth finish. No need for a second product; it contains both paint and primer! 4. Apply a second coat in sweeping motions, avoiding overlap. 5. Admire the beautiful finish and enjoy your refreshed piece. Who's ready for an end-of-summer fiesta? #BEHR #BEHRSPRAYITYOURWAY @behrpaint #TodayLetsPaint https://lnk2.io/w8bvswd⁠

Looking back at last fall. I love looking back before I look forward when it comes to my seasonally touches. My goal is to evoke a feeling of the season while trying to show restraint.

Laundry room with dog wash. From sketch to reality

Laundry room with dog wash. From sketch to reality. One of my favorite and most challenging @oneroomchallenge small spaces. All of the hard work paid off because it functions like a dream. She may be petite like me but she is mighty! (Also like me.) 😉

Functional beauty is always my goal in every desig

Functional beauty is always my goal in every design. A laundry room is the perfect place where this mantra comes to life.

Packed with function and details this little room got a major upgrade a couple years ago. Check out the blog for sources and the before. Search “mudroom dog wash. “ I’ll also add a link in my Stories.

The house is full of now green hydrangeas in hopes of a bounty of dried beauties for the fall.

Did you know once the blooms green up they will dry in the vase reliably and can be saved forever? I learned this by accident a few years ago. I keep a box in my attic full of them. This year I wanted to save smaller blooms too.

Before and after. When you start with new construction of course the before was fine. But why stick with fine when you what your heart desires a proper tub and heated floors. (Once you live with heated floors sits hard to go back. )

While we did demo the existing floors, and I hate to see good things go to waste, we have been able to help several people in our neighborhood save their floors. The extra original tile the builder left in our attic can now go to good use elsewhere. That at least is some consolation.

Link in bio to the full makeover.

It still feels like a dream. I wouldn't change a thing. And yet, I did add one big thing. More on that soon.

Thank you to my sponsors for their contributions to this European inspired makeover. @vintagetub @novobp @love_the_room @calicocorners @custompictureframes @bemistoiletseats

Summer blooms with blue and white in the living room. In case you missed the stills check out my feed and link in the bio for a roundup of blue and white porcelain under $100.

Time for a summer reset of the mantel and the living room. I wanted to feature the blooms from the garden and thought incorporating my blue and white collection was the perfect way to show them off. And once you start sprinkling blue and white porcelain around a room, it's hard to stop. ⁠
⁠
To help you with your potentially growing collection (or dare I say like me, it's an obsession), I shared a round-up of blue and white porcelain planters, jars and vases under $100 at deeplysouthernhome.com. Check the link in the bio or my Stories. You might be surprised which pieces are next on my list!⁠

"Oh, I need to spin her head around." Does so and accidentally changes the composition. 🤷🏻‍♀️The details that happen behind the scenes of the images you see here are on Instagram taken by a single creator/person is probably highly underrated. ⁠
⁠
I kind of thrive in the details, so I enjoy the challenge. Except when I miss something like that or something else. I could have removed the "hidden" giant speaker my husband recently added to the living room, but this was just a secondary shot to the content I wanted to create this day. ⁠
⁠
Anyway, I am working on a blog post to share with you soon and I think my blue and white fans will really enjoy it! ⁠
⁠
Have a great weekend my friends!⁠

The view from inside is pretty sweet too. I don't sit around starting out the window often, but maybe I should. I ended up getting an injection in my foot today and was told to rest. Thinking it is a good idea to actually listen to the doctor instead of doing the half a dozen things I'd rather be doing.

Another Reel that isn’t. It is a pretty sink of hydrangeas though, right?

Bring in the summer blooms. I had a feeling I needed to save from the storms and enjoy them inside too. For cut hydrangeas, be sure to remove the leaves. After cutting the stem to the length I need, I make cuts up the stem to allow more water into the stem. Refresh vase with hot water to perk them back up.
