House tour: Guest bedroom and hallway

November 3, 2011

We’re finally at the end of this rather prolonged house tour. `There are a couple rooms not worth sharing at this point, but maybe in the future if they get a little sprucing up I’ll… [Continue Reading]

House tour: Master bedroom

October 26, 2011

We’ll finish up the rest of the house tour this week (it’s a small house and I’m probably going to cheat and not show you the ugly rooms) now that I found the battery charger… [Continue Reading]

House tour: Living room

About

The Impatient Gardener

Do you love gardening? Me too! I'm Erin and I garden in Southeastern Wisconsin, zone 5. The Impatient Gardener is all about real-life gardening: the good parts, the bad bits and even the funny stuff. It's part information, part inspiration and a little bit commiseration. Thanks for visiting.

Here's some more about me.

I stopped in at @johnsonsgardens yesterday and it was so fun to see how they are using the same sphere that I bought in their containers. Here they wrapped grapevine around it (love that it looks like it’s been growing there for ages) and put a candle in it. So warm and cozy! A small version of this would be so cute as a centerpiece. Inspiration is everywhere!
I’ve got mantel decorating on my mind. It will end up being some combination of evergreens and pine cones, as per usual, but a big part of me would rather be dreaming up a mantel like this one at @chanticleergarden
A bit of frosting on a winter container gives it just the right touch.
Mother Nature knows me well enough to know I’m a long way from getting ornaments on anything so she was kind enough to hang some outside for me.
