As soon as I saw the photo of the completed project, I thought, "Hmm, this reminds me of a ceramic Shane Powers planter I saw awhile back at West Elm." I'm not sure if that was the inspiration behind this DIY, but regardless, it's super-crafty upcycling on the cheap. $4.32 to be exact.

We're supposed to be in the thick of winter here on the East Coast, granted with temperatures in the 60's this week, it feels more like we're heading into spring. My garden seems to think so as well — I have daffodils and tulips peeking their heads out and one of my lilies looks like it just might bloom! The warm weather had me outside thinking about my garden, pondering my plans for this coming year, and a rain garden is definitely in order.

I admit, I have a pile of scrap wood stowed away here and there around my house. You can also throw a shabby old door into the mix as well. And while it's not always convenient to store cumbersome wood if you're hard-pressed for space, it sure can come in handy if you're cut from the DIY mold.

There's nothing like spending a few weeks in a tropical paradise, especially when you're there ringing in the new year, to give you the time and space necessary to reflect on your life.

Winter might be a seasonal break for many gardeners, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see gardening gifts under the tree. In my case it's quite the opposite — they're usually top priority on my wish list — and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. If there's a green thumb aficionado in your life, forget about the bleak winter that lies ahead and gift them with something that will remind them that crocuses and daffodils are only a few months away.

Imogene + Willie is proof that Nashville has more to offer than honky tonk and barbecue. This brick and mortar shop is the dream of husband and wife duo, Carrie and Matt Eddmenson. Part retail space, part workshop — a place to make and sell what they do best — designing custom jeans. But while the denim and leather goods may play center stage, the swank interior provides the ideal backdrop.
