Black Ceiling Paint FTW 🙌🏼Yep! I would recommend this to anyone! This is an old OLD space where it has endured about 10 additions to the house over time. You can tell the renovations done before us were not thoughtful about placement and it just was a dirty cluster! I used Valspar Ultra and the color is Iron OreI’ll put my gear in my amazon shop if you are looking for something similar! Make sure to follow @compassacres to see the rest of this transformation!What do you think of the black ceiling?? #compassacres #diy #renovation #january #toolsofthetrade #blackceiling #sprayer #gardencoach #homeimprovements
Comment “GROW” for the special link to these lights! 🌱 I do not consider myself a wonderful house plant girl, I can grow them outdoors, but sometimes my plants inside STRUGGLE. So I did some digging to help keep houseplants thriving with these 3 tips:1️⃣ Maximize light exposure: Not all spaces have enough natural light, but grow lights can save the day! They mimic sunlight and ensure your plants get the energy they need to grow year-round, promoting stronger growth and vibrant leaves. 2️⃣ Consistent watering routine: Overwatering or underwatering can stress your plants. Check the soil and water only when it’s needed for their specific type. 💧3️⃣ Boost humidity: Many houseplants thrive in higher humidity levels. Use a humidifier or group plants together to create their ideal environment.

I think they just missed my shorts 😏Spreading some laughs on this cold January day! I hope you have a restful, eventful, productive, whatever kind of day you need to get through! We are still sitting in the teens and the gardens are sound asleep! Back to tackling the basement so I can get ready to spray the ceiling! 🙌🏼What are you doing in your downtime in the Winter?❄️ #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #flowers #gardeninglife #flowerpower #gardeninspiration #gardencoach #gardencommunity #wintergarden #winter #snow #itscold
That’s going to be a No from me, dog 🐕 Let’s talk about the downside of using landscaping glue to secure rocks in garden borders. While it might seem like a convenient solution, here are 3 important reasons to think twice:1️⃣ Impacts Drainage: Glue can create an impermeable layer that blocks water from flowing naturally through the soil, leading to pooling or uneven moisture levels that can harm nearby plants.2️⃣ Disrupts the Ecosystem: Rocks naturally provide shelter for insects and small creatures. Glue traps these rocks in place, removing safe spaces and affecting biodiversity.3️⃣ Maintenance Challenges: Over time, glued rocks can become brittle or shift slightly, making repairs difficult and often requiring complete replacement instead of simple adjustments.And please let’s let kids get excited about our gardens and landscaping! Walk them around and explain where things should stay or where to walk in the garden. Wouldn’t we rather our kids picking up rocks outside than sitting inside on a tablet? Consider alternative methods like loose rock designs that support both function and nature. Your garden will thank you! 🌱✨ #GardeningTips #EcoFriendlyLandscaping# #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #gardeninglife #nature
Rushing induces your anxiety 👇🏼You want to know why you are anxious?Because we live in a society that rushes us from one thing to the next. Box stores put up displays for summer in January, influencers pushing the next big thing before we have even had time to wrap our head around the last. We need to just allow ourselves to be. To sit. To relax. To rest and be present. When you constantly live in the future you welcome anxiety.When you live in the present you welcome calm.So friends, it’s ok to dream, but just enjoy the break Mother Nature is giving you. ❄️ #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #gardeninglife #winterrest #winter #staypresent
Just over here enjoying the journey 🧭 I get asked “how did you start doing this” and it is kind of a loaded answer because there isn’t just one this that brought me to this point. But I do know I have found a lot of inspiration and connection through this building and growing of the whole operation and I really enjoy showing it.I also know that I am not great at niching down to one thing like gardening and it’s because I find so many close connections through my own mental journey and growing in the garden and doing this hands on. And I short, I want to share the peace I have come to find along the way! And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here! I would love to know what kind of content do you like to see from us! #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #flowers #mentalhealthawareness #ptsd #anxietyawareness #depressionhelp
Saying it louder for those in the back 🗣️Denzel Washington said it best and there are always going to be people who like to criticize and talk smack. Before you react, think about where it is coming from. A lot of the time they are insecure with themselves or are trying to bring you down to their level by getting an emotional response out of you. Don’t give it any of your time.Now, constructive feedback does help us grow and we should open ourselves to growth and feedback but a lot of it depends on the delivery.Criticism is to shame Constructive feedback is for growthLet the peanut gallery talk and know that’s just what it is. Talk. You keep doing you and find the feedback when you are ready to grow ✨ #2025 #goals #resolution #compassacres #gardendesign #gardencoach #flowers #garden #lifecoaching #growth #mentalhealth
Why are they so hard to keep alive 🤭So I was tired in the Fall and didn’t get to covering these hydrangeas. Which let me start out by saying, I have such little faith in them doing anything anyway so that’s why I am covering them this way. I wanted to see if the leaves help insulate and keep the moisture to them. Last year I didn’t wrap them at all and well no blooms and they were pretty sad in the spring. I also know that I do not give these plants the attention they need so that is already a knock against their survival anyway. That is why I am team panicle hydrangea all the way 😆So I know there will be people that say you should do it this way, you shouldn’t do it that way. But I really like learning through mistakes in the garden, so that’s why I’m going to keep on experimenting 👍🏼#compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #flowers #hydrangea
It was a good one 🤍#thanksforthememories #grateful #gardencoach #gardendesign #liveyourbestlife #adventure #gardengrows
2024 Reel Round Up- Most likes This reel took off in a flash and hit almost 2 Million views but had almost 100k likes! I loved this little reel and see screen shots of it periodically pop up (hey can you give a girl some credit when you do that 😏)When I was teaching Middle Schoolers how to draw self portraits in Art we would talk about eye facts and this one always stuck with me. This spring when I saw all the shades of green emerge, I was inspired to share this fact in a reel. I am happy to have made something so many people could relate to, and although it’s winter and the green is more brown around here, get out in nature and enjoy yourself! 🌱 #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #flowers #gardeninglife #flowerpower
2024 Reel Round Up- the one that created the most blocks 😅Who would have thought just little ol me doing a fun trend would lead to so many triggered folks in the comments! I usually can laugh at most comments but once the keyboard warrior has become completely unhinged— well it’s time to go! I love doing some good trends and putting my spin on things, and it’s pretty easy when I have an everlasting battle with the deer 😁Do you like doing trends? #compassacres #flowersmakemehappy #gardendesign #gardencoach #gardening #flowerpower #garden #deer #viraltrends #hatersgonnahate
