Now this is a front stoop. Love it…I like the rusty metal planters on either side, the stone stairs, the black front door, the lighting, and the white washed brick exterior is my dream…I like it all. I need to step up my stoop.

What do you think? Do you like this front stoop? What’s on your stoop? I like writing the word stoop…so I’m going to continue with more stoop questions. Do you even have a stoop? Would you like me to stop with the stoop?

Happy Saturday!

California architect Amy A. Alper designed this charming creek-side cabin in Santa Rosa, California.

Though revamped, the shingle-style cabin design, circa 1920s, maintains its country charms. The architect salvaged the original shingled exterior and used it as the backdrop for the new living spaces, adding a wonderful outdoor feel to interiors. Read full post…

Fibrous-rooted begonias are easy to bring indoors and grow during the winter.

Both wax begonias and angel wing begonias are fibrous-rooted, which means they have a basic, familiar looking stringy root ball. These are the begonias commonly sold in hanging baskets and as bedding plants. Fibrous-rooted begonias make great house plants over the winter, as do the rhizomatous types (such as Rex begonias), which are grown primarily for their foliage.

All you really need is a little space and a bright window, and these types of begonias will continue to grow (and possibly even bloom!) year-round.

To know how to care for your begonia over the winter, you really need to know what kind of begonia you’re growing.
