How to Grow Ginger From Grocery Store Ginger (It’s Easier Than You Think)

Did you know you can grow ginger from a piece of ginger you picked up at the grocery store? I didn’t realize how simple it was until we tried it. A little root, a pot of soil, some patience, and suddenly we had a green shoot popping up on the porch. This is the kind of easy gardening project I love, especially because the kids can help with nearly every step.

What You’ll Need to Grow Ginger at Home

  • A firm, fresh piece of ginger (technically called a rhizome) with at least one visible growth bud
  • A wide container with drainage holes
  • Loose, well-draining potting mix
  • Water and a warm place with bright, indirect light

First, Find the Little Growth Bud

Look for the small growth bud, also called an eye, on your ginger root.

Look closely at your ginger root before planting it. Those small knobby, pale or greenish points are called growth buds, sometimes called eyes. They’re where new shoots emerge. Choose a piece with at least one healthy bud. You don’t need a whole root to get started.

How We Planted Our Ginger

Planting ginger rhizome shallowly with growth bud facing upward
Position the root shallowly with the bud pointing up.
  1. Prepare the soil. Add well-draining potting mix to a container with drainage holes. We moistened the soil first so it was evenly damp rather than soaking wet.
  2. Position the root. Lay the ginger rhizome horizontally with the growth bud facing upward. We positioned ours very shallowly so that the little budding tip was peeking out of the soil. You can also cover the rhizome with a thin layer of soil, but keep the bud pointing up.
  3. Give it warmth. Ginger likes warm conditions and bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing a tender new shoot to harsh afternoon sun.
  4. Water gently. Keep the soil lightly moist while it gets established. Let excess water drain, because waterlogged ginger can rot.
  5. Watch for a shoot. Sprouting can take several weeks depending on warmth and the rhizome. That first green shoot makes the waiting worth it!

How Long Does Ginger Take to Grow?

Ginger is a tropical plant, so warmth matters more than speed. You may see a green shoot in a few weeks, but growing an underground harvest takes longer. In cooler climates, a movable pot is especially useful. Bring it indoors when temperatures fall rather than leaving it outside for a frost.

When and How to Harvest Ginger

Baby ginger: You can often harvest tender young rhizomes after about 4–6 months. They’re delicate and usually have a thinner skin.

Mature ginger: For a fuller harvest, expect roughly 8–10 months, depending on conditions. Yellowing foliage is often a sign that the growing season is winding down.

To harvest, gently loosen the potting mix and lift the rhizomes rather than pulling hard on the stems. Rinse off the soil. Save a healthy section with a growth bud to plant again, and use the rest in cooking, tea, or whatever you’re making in the kitchen.

A Few Tips Before You Try It

  • Choose ginger that feels firm, not shriveled or moldy.
  • A broad pot gives the rhizomes room to spread.
  • Drainage matters as much as watering.
  • Be patient: visible leaves grow above ground while the edible ginger develops below.

I love projects that turn an ordinary grocery-store ingredient into something unexpected. This one is inexpensive, easy enough to do with the kids, and fun to check on each morning.

Our Bathroom Refresh: Polished Brass, Color-Drenched Walls & Taking My Time

There is something about a room that is almost there. Our bathroom already had the big pieces I loved: a freestanding tub, classic white cabinetry, marble-look tile, and plenty of natural light. I was not looking for a full renovation. I wanted the space to feel warmer, brighter, and a little more finished without replacing everything that was already working.

The biggest changes came from paint, polished brass fixtures, updated lighting, and a few styling details. None of them were dramatic on their own, but together they made the room feel much more intentional.

Bathroom Refresh Ideas That Made the Biggest Difference

If you are looking for bathroom refresh ideas without doing a full renovation, these are the updates that changed the room the most for us.

  • Painted the walls and moldings in Grayish Blush, a custom Sherwin-Williams color match
  • Used satin on the walls and gloss on the moldings for subtle contrast
  • Swapped the cooler plumbing finishes for polished brass
  • Updated the faucets and tub fixture with Kingston Brass pieces
  • Kept the existing white vanities, sinks, tub, and marble-look tile
  • Added warm lighting and simple styling to soften the space

The Color-Drenching Debate

For the paint, I went with Grayish Blush, a custom color match mixed by Sherwin-Williams. I kept the walls satin and used gloss on the moldings. I love that little bit of shine against the softer walls. If you want to recreate the color, keep in mind that it is a custom match, so you will need the formula from my paint label rather than just the name.

I went into this project wanting to color drench the entire bathroom, including the walls, moldings, and ceiling. I love how one color can make a room feel considered rather than choppy, especially when there is already so much white tile.

In the end, I painted the walls and moldings together and left the ceiling alone. For now.

I could still paint it, but I wanted to live with the new color first and see how it felt at different times of day. Sometimes the best design decision is giving yourself a little time before making the next one.

The Hardware Swap That Made the Biggest Difference

The other major change was switching the bathroom fixtures from their original cooler finish to polished brass. I went with Kingston Brass faucets, including the tub fixture.

The warmer metal gives the room a more classic feel without replacing the vanities, sinks, tub, or tile. I love polished brass because it feels timeless and a little collected rather than overly trendy.

It is also a good reminder that you do not always need to gut a space to change its personality. Sometimes the details really do carry the room.

The Freestanding Tub Area

The tub has always been one of my favorite features in this bathroom. The polished brass tub filler instantly made that part of the room feel more elevated, and I love the way it looks against the soft blue-gray walls and all of the natural light from the window.

A simple brass bath tray adds another warm detail without making the space feel overly styled. The goal was to keep the room calm and practical while making it feel more finished.

The Double Vanity

The existing white cabinetry gave us a great neutral foundation, so I did not want to replace it just for the sake of making a change. Instead, the brass faucets, mirrors, sconces, and hardware add warmth and contrast.

The patterned rug helps soften all of the hard surfaces and brings the blue tones together. I think that is one of the reasons the bathroom feels more layered now even though the bones of the room stayed the same.

A Look at the Before and After

In the before photos, you can see the original fixtures and all of the cooler white surfaces. The updates are subtle enough to work with what was already here, but the combined effect feels much warmer and more intentional.

Watch the Before and After

Here is a closer look at the transformation, from the original bathroom to the finished paint and polished brass details.

Our bathroom refresh, from the original finishes to Grayish Blush paint and polished brass fixtures.

My Favorite Details

  • The soft custom paint color
  • Polished brass faucets and tub filler
  • The warm brass sconces
  • The clean white double vanity
  • The vintage-inspired patterned rug
  • Keeping the original tub and tile instead of replacing perfectly good pieces

What I Might Do Next

The ceiling is still on my mind. I love a fully color-drenched room, and I have not ruled it out. But I also do not feel the need to decide today. I am enjoying the painted moldings, the new brass, and how much these relatively simple changes softened the space.

My biggest takeaway? You do not have to do every project all at once. Make the changes you feel confident about, live in the space for a bit, and let the next decision come naturally. A home can evolve with you, and sometimes that is what makes it feel the most personal.

Bathroom Refresh FAQ

How can you refresh a bathroom without renovating?

Start with the finishes you notice most: paint, faucets, lighting, mirrors, hardware and textiles. Keeping the vanity, tub and tile can save a major amount of money while still changing the feel of the room.

Does polished brass work in a blue bathroom?

Yes. Warm brass adds contrast to cool blue and blue-gray walls and helps white cabinetry and tile feel less stark.

What does color drenching mean in a bathroom?

Color drenching means carrying one paint color across several surfaces, such as the walls, trim and sometimes the ceiling. Using different sheens can keep the room from feeling flat.

What should you update first in an outdated bathroom?

If the main fixtures are in good condition, I would start with paint and lighting, then look at faucets, hardware, mirrors and a rug. Those changes can make the room feel much more current without replacing everything.

Composting at Home for Beginners: Your Simple, Guide to Starting Today

Hey, friends! If you’re ready to add a little green magic to your garden and reduce kitchen waste, composting at home is the perfect place to start. Trust me—it’s easier than you think, and your plants (plus the planet!) will thank you.

In this post, I’m breaking down composting basics for beginners—no jargon, no fuss—just simple, doable steps to help you turn scraps into garden gold. Let’s dive in!

What Exactly Is Composting?

Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It’s the process where kitchen scraps and yard waste break down into rich, nutrient-packed soil that boosts your garden’s health. Think of it as homemade superfood for your plants!

Why Should You Start Composting at Home?

  • Reduce waste and help the environment: Food scraps are a huge part of landfill waste. Composting cuts that down and lowers harmful emissions.
  • Nourish your garden naturally: Compost improves soil texture and keeps plants thriving without chemicals.
  • Save money: Why buy expensive fertilizers when you can make your own?
  • It’s totally doable: No fancy equipment needed—just a little patience and love.

How to Start Composting: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

1. Pick Your Composting Style

You can compost anywhere, even if your space is small! Choose what fits you best:

  • A compost bin to keep things tidy. (a bowl by your sink will work)
  • A compost pile in the backyard if you have space.
  • A compost tumbler for a faster, hands-on approach.

2. Find the Perfect Spot

Place your compost in a spot with good airflow and some sunlight to keep things moving without drying out.

3. Gather Your Compost Materials: Greens and Browns

Balance is everything here!

  • Greens = nitrogen-rich stuff like veggie scraps, coffee grounds, and fresh grass clippings.
  • Browns = carbon-rich materials like dry leaves, shredded newspaper, and cardboard.

Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods to keep pests away and odors down.

4. Layer It Up

Start with a base of browns, then alternate greens and browns. A good ratio is about 3 parts browns to 1 part greens. This keeps your compost happy and healthy.

5. Keep It Happy: Maintenance Tips

  • Turn your pile every week or two to add oxygen and speed things up.
  • Keep it moist like a wrung-out sponge. Add water or dry materials as needed.

6. Wait for the Magic

In a few months, you’ll have rich, dark, crumbly compost that smells like fresh earth—perfect for your garden!

Bonus Tips for Chic Composting Success

  • Chop your scraps smaller to help them break down faster.
  • Avoid weeds with seeds to keep your garden weed-free.
  • If your compost smells, add more browns and turn more often.
  • Cover fresh scraps with browns to keep critters away.

How to Use Your Finished Compost

Sprinkle it around your garden beds, mix it into your potting soil, or use it as mulch. Your flowers, veggies, and houseplants will love the extra boost!

Composting is such a rewarding way to connect with nature and make your gardening routine more sustainable. Ready to get started? Grab a bin, gather your scraps, and watch your garden and your eco-impact grow!

Dining Room Glow-Up: How We Transformed Our Space with Intention and Chic Simplicity

There’s something special about a dining room. It’s where stories are shared, guests gather, and everyday meals become cherished moments. When we moved in, I knew our dining space had potential, but it didn’t reflect the warmth and modern charm I wanted to bring into our home. So, I decided it was time for a transformation. The result? A space that feels both elevated and inviting, with thoughtful details that reflect our personal style.

Starting with a Blank Slate

Before any design decisions were made, I took a step back to assess what we needed from the space. Our dining room needed to be multifunctional: cozy enough for family dinners but polished enough to host friends. I updated our fixtures by gold gilding, changed the hardware to gold for more sophistication, and gave the walls some blue grass cloth, instantly giving the room texture and warmth.

A Chic Statement with Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

To add personality without commitment, I installed a stunning peel-and-stick wallpaper on the walls by Society Social. It created instant visual interest without overwhelming the room. Here’s exactly how I did it:

  1. Prep the surface: I wiped the wall down with a damp cloth and let it dry completely. Smooth, clean walls are key!
  2. Measure and mark: Using a level and measuring tape, I lightly marked where the first panel would go to ensure it stayed straight.
  3. Peel slowly, stick carefully: Starting from the top, I peeled a small section of the backing and stuck it down, smoothing with a wallpaper tool as I went. I worked in sections, peeling and smoothing as I moved downward.
  4. Trim edges: I used a sharp utility knife to clean up the edges around the baseboards and ceiling for a seamless look.

Editing the Right Table (and Chairs!)

The heart of the dining room is the table, and I had the perfect antique. The problem was it had been around the block and really needed to go from cherry to a lighter vibe. The chairs for this table were falling a part and I really wanted a chair that people could sit in comfortably. To add contrast and interest, I paired it with a mix of upholstered end chairs (antique) and chose a pattern, the side chairs in green to coordinate with the pattern. The mix keeps things from feeling too matchy-matchy while adding character.

The Power of Lighting

Lighting can make or break a room. I gave our fixture a glow up by painting it with gold gild. The warm glow it casts at night makes the entire room feel magical. I also added dimmers and it’s a game changer for ambiance.

Styling with Intention

For the decor, I kept it simple and chic. A runner to match the end chairs, a couple of candle holders from Homegoods.I styled a mix of thrifted finds and personal mementos to add soul to the space.

Elevating the Everyday

One of my favorite things about this transformation is how it’s elevated our everyday. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner with the kids or a weekend dinner, the space just feels good. It’s a reminder that you don’t need a massive renovation to create a space that inspires connection.

Thinking of Your Own Dining Room Glow-Up?

My biggest advice: start with how you want the space to feel. Let that guide your choices. Layer in texture, mix materials, and don’t be afraid to blend old with new. And above all—make it yours for the perfect dining room glow up.

Chic and Private: Design a Lush Urban Garden with Fast-Growing Hedges and Climbing Roses

In a bustling city like Charlotte, finding a slice of serenity in your own backyard can feel like a luxury. But with a bit of thoughtful planning and a touch of garden glamour, even the smallest outdoor spaces can become lush, private retreats. I believe style and function should grow together, and that’s exactly what this garden makeover is all about.

To block out the noise (and the neighbors), we’re leaning into natural borders that are as beautiful as they are hardworking. Wax myrtles are the unsung heroes of Southern privacy screens—fast-growing, evergreen, and easy on the eyes. Paired with the fragrant charm of tea olives, they create a living wall that smells as good as it looks.

For a vertical wow-factor, we’re building a wall of climbing roses, with alternating blooms in blush pink and creamy white. The result? Romantic, eye-catching color that blooms from spring to fall.

Down below, we’re dressing the beds with Zone 7-friendly blooms like echinacea, black-eyed Susans, salvia, and larkspur, layered with texture and color for a garden that feels full of life all season long.

Digging in the details for plant pairings and layout tips to help you design your own private garden paradise, one chic bloom at a time.

Smart Plant Pairings for a Chic, Layered Look

Creating a lush garden is all about layering. Combining height, texture, color, and fragrance in a way that feels effortless but intentional. Here are some stylish pairings to make your small space feel full and inviting:

Back Row: The Privacy Wall

  • Wax Myrtle (Morella cerifera)
    Pair with:Tea Olive (Osmanthus fragrans or Osmanthus heterophyllus)
    Alternate these evergreens along your fence line for year-round coverage and sweet seasonal fragrance.
    • Tip: Plant wax myrtles every 6–8 feet and tea olives between them for staggered growth and interest.

Middle Layer: Vertical Color & Romance

  • Climbing Roses
    Pair alternating varieties:
    • ‘Eden’ (soft pink) for a romantic cottage vibe
    • ‘Iceberg’ or ‘White Dawn’ (white) for brightness and contrast
    • Train them on trellises or a fence to draw the eye upward and soften hard edges.
    • Tip: Install a simple lattice or wire panel system against your fence for support. Mix bloom times for extended color.

Front Beds: Bold Blooms & Pollinator Power

  • Echinacea (Coneflower)
    Pair with: Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia)
    These classic native perennials thrive in Zone 7, love the sun, and keep blooming all summer.
  • Salvia (‘May Night’ or ‘Caradonna’)
    Pair with: Larkspur or Snapdragons (spring to early summer)
    Great for texture and hummingbird attraction. Their upright spikes contrast beautifully with broader petals.
  • Heuchera (Coral Bells)
    Pair with: Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) or Sweet Alyssum
    For shady edges or beneath shrubs, this duo adds rich foliage and soft, spilling texture.

Layout Tips for a Small, Stylish Garden

1. Layer by Height

  • Place tall evergreens (wax myrtle & tea olive) in the back to create privacy.
  • Medium climbers (roses) go in the middle with vertical support.
  • Low-growing perennials and groundcovers should fill the front and spill over pathways or borders.

2. Keep a Flowing Color Palette

  • Stick to 2–3 complementary colors. In this case: soft pink, white, gold, and lavender-purple.
  • Repeat colors throughout the beds to create cohesion and rhythm.

3. Think Seasonally

  • Combine spring bloomers (larkspur, snapdragons) with summer staples (coneflowers, salvia) and late bloomers (tea olive scent intensifies in fall).
  • Mix evergreen structure with seasonal pops for year-round interest.

4. Use Pathways and Planters Wisely

  • A narrow gravel or stepping-stone path can make the space feel bigger and more navigable.
  • Add a few elevated planters or urns with trailing flowers near seating areas to draw attention inward.

5. Add Chic Touches

  • Hang string lights above the roses.
  • Place a small bistro table beneath the tea olives for a fragrant morning coffee nook.
  • Incorporate a garden mirror to visually expand the space.

Why I Broke Up with Air Fresheners (and You Should Too)


Spoiler: They’re toxic. Literally.

Let’s just get this out of the way: I love a good-smelling home. Walking into a space that smells like “Coastal Rainforest Morning Dew” or “Vanilla Bean Magic” used to make me feel like I had my life together. But plot twist—turns out those lovely scents were basically chemical cocktails in disguise. 😬

Like most people, I didn’t question it. I thought I was being extra clean and put-together because my bathroom smelled like cucumber melon. (If you know, you know.)

But here’s the thing…

The Dirty Truth Behind That “Clean” Smell

Fragrance air fresheners-sprays, plug-ins, candles, those cute little gel thingies—are often filled with harmful chemicals. And I mean harmful in a “how is this even allowed in stores?” kind of way.

Let’s break down what you’re really spraying around your house:

  • Formaldehyde: Yes, the same chemical used to preserve dead things. A known carcinogen and major irritant.
  • Benzene: Another known carcinogen. Excellent.
  • Phthalates: They make the smell last longer but can disrupt your hormones and reproductive system. Cute.
  • Toluene: Linked to developmental issues. So no, not baby-friendly.
  • Xylene: Messes with your central nervous system. Think headaches, dizziness, and feeling foggy for no reason.

Like… why are we doing this to ourselves? All in the name of making our living room smell like a fake ocean breeze?

So What’s the Healthy, Still-Nice-Smelling Option?

Two words: Essential oils.

Making the switch to essential oils has been a game-changer in my health and wellness journey. Not only are they non-toxic, but they actually support your body rather than sabotage it. And no, they don’t make your house smell like a crunchy hippie commune unless you want them to (and hey, no shade if you do).

Here’s why I love them:

  • They’re natural and safe for kids and pets.
  • You can customize your own blends depending on the vibe or season.
  • Some oils (like lavender and eucalyptus) actually have therapeutic benefits.
  • They make you feel like a holistic goddess, and that’s a fact.

A Few Favorite Essential Oils I’m Obsessed With:

  • Lavender + Lemon: Relaxing and refreshing at the same time.
  • Peppermint + Eucalyptus: Think spa day but in your kitchen.
  • Orange + Clove: Cozy fall vibes without the toxic candle smoke.
  • Geranium + Cedarwood: Romantic and grounding.

Buying an Investment Property

Blake and I have been talking about purchasing an investment property for a long time. It’s always been an interest to buy a fixer upper that we can make into a short term rental. It’s been a long process, but we ended up picking a property in Fripp Island, South Carolina. Fripp is right off the coast of Beaufort, South Carolina. The best way to describe Beaufort is, it’s a mini Charleston, South Carolina 20 years ago. Beautiful historic town without all the tourists and traffic.

The home that we ended up purchasing was built in the late 70’s and a family had owned it for the entire time. They were able to enjoy it for decades, and we feel lucky to be able to now do the same. I don’t know if you have ever been to Fripp, but it is definitely a special place. If you enjoy nature, riding around on a golf cart, and a laid back vacation on an island, with access to a really cute historic town, this is a great option.

Our goal with this house is to get it up and running as an Airbnb/VRBO by November. In our case we are doing a couple of updates to the property. Blake makes fun of me because I told him we would just “do a few”, and that has turned into new floors, new bathrooms, new kitchen, paint, and a few more things that aren’t as fun to talk about. I mean we are really doing all the things, and I can’t wait to share when we are done.

Choosing a location for our investment property took a lot of time and energy. I want to share some of the factors that helped drive our decision.

Things to consider when buying an investment property at the beach:

  • How often do you plan on personally using it?
    • If you plan on using it often you want to make sure the property is closer to your primary residence and easy to get to.
  • Do you plan on managing the property yourself?
    • Property Management can be a challenge if you live far away from the property.
  • How much do property management companies in the area charge?
    • This can be crippling if you are using the rental as secondary income, make sure you do your homework here.
  • How close is it to the water?
    • Vacationers want to be near the water, or have easy access to it. (ie. golf cart)
  • How much is flood insurance?
    • You want to make sure that all of your costs with the property don’t put you into a deficit if you are trying to turn a property, make sure you understand how much the flood insurance is going to cost.
  • Is there a history of flood/water damage on the property?
    • This is really important so that you can understand what you are up against when you take ownership of the property.
  • Are there activities/restaurants to do things year round?
    • If you are looking at this as a secondary income source you ideally don’t want your home sitting around vacant for half the year. Try to ensure that you will have income at least 70% of the time.

These are the main things we were thinking about when we landed on Fripp Island. The biggest hurdle for us was just getting an understanding of what our monthly output is going to be and using the 70% occupancy rule to understand what our potential ROI could be annually.

If you are in the market, good luck!

How to Root a Plant from Cuttings

Does anyone else feel like plants are so expensive these days? love getting new plants, giving them as gifts, or just sharing the love with friends just because, so it’s great to be able to root your own plants from cuttings.

Rooting your own plants is an easy way to save money, and get something new to look free of charge. I am sharing a general, easy way to propagate that should work on most plants.

Directions:

  1. Select a healthy plant with a lot of foliage (you don’t want to kill a plant by taking vital foliage or propagate from an unhealthy plant)
  2. Select a stem that does not have a flower and cut at a 45 Degree Angle with Clean Shears
  3. Take off excess leaves and leave a couple at the top
  4. Place freshly cut side in Root Hormone to protect plant
  5. Place directly in soil or clean water
  6. If in soil, add epsom salt to water and water every other week
  7. Allow plant to root (can take a couple of days up to a couple of weeks.

Artist Find: Peter’s Pottery

I posted a couple of pictures on instagram @splashofchic that included Peter’s Pottery. His pottery is absolutely beautiful and so versatile in its’ use. You can easily dress it up or down for a dinner party or just a tomato sandwich for lunch.

Not only that, but the story behind Peter’s Pottery is pretty neat. There were 4 brother’s that started the business in 1998 in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. They bartered in order to get the building supplies to build their first shop. The shop was originally outside of the small town city limits, but they asked to be included so that their town could receive the tax benefits of the business. The company is still family run today.

You can not order his products online, but you can view some of his inventory and then call in to place your order. Love the old school vibes there. 🙂

How To Take Care Of An Orchid

Orchids are one of those plants that I have struggled with forever. I have never been able to figure out how to keep them alive. I buy one orchid and they live through the first round of flowering and then boom donezo.

Over the last couple of years a few plants later I think I have finally figured it out. I am sharing my steps below.

Orchid Care:

  1. Make sure your Orchid is in bright, but indirect light.
  2. Place in a sink with water for 15 minutes once a week.
  3. Once the Orchid has finished flowering below the last blooming flower (at the node), it should bloom again in about 8-12 weeks.
  4. Repot orchids ever couple of years in bark. Make sure to not pot in soil.

That’s all, how easy is that? Comment if you have any other tips or tricks. I would love to hear them.

XOXO, Katie
