Newspaper Seedling Pots

April 16, 2012 by Amanda Formaro

Newspaper Seedling PotsI meant to plant seeds myself today but I let the day get away from me. I like this method. They are pretty and totally compostable. Once the seedlings are hardened off, simply plant the whole thing in the ground. Get the how to at homework: The Dirt: newspaper seedling pots. Perfect for DIY homesteading mummas and Pappas. 

Homesteading is very popular this year, but what exactly is Homesteading?  Homesteading is a lifestyle centered around self-sufficiency, sustainability, and a close connection to the land. Traditionally, it referred to the process of settling and developing land, often through government programs that provided land grants to settlers. Today, homesteading encompasses a wide range of practices aimed at reducing reliance on external resources and living more independently.

    This is PERFECT for planting seedlings for a garden. I wonder if there is any reason it wouldn’t work with herbs as well? Love the idea of adding a simple tag or some color to it so you can tell them apart. Thanks so much!

Hidden Storage Fake Books – Why You Need Them

I am absolutely in love with these color-styled hidden storage books. They are one of those home decor finds that instantly make a shelf or coffee table look more styled, more thoughtful, and a little more expensive. Which color would you get?

What makes them so appealing is that they are not just decorative. Each faux book opens up to reveal hidden storage, which means they are doing double duty as both decor and a practical way to tuck away little bits of everyday clutter. I love anything that helps a space look beautiful while still being useful, and these do exactly that.

The blue tones in this set are especially lovely. They feel calm, elegant, and easy to blend into so many decor styles, from modern and coastal through to classic or vintage-inspired spaces. They have that curated designer look that makes it seem like you have carefully styled every corner of your home.

These are the kind of pieces that make me ridiculously happy because they solve a problem without looking like storage. You can use them to hide remotes, notes, keepsakes, or all those random little things that never seem to have a proper home. Instead of adding more baskets or boxes, you get something that looks polished and intentional.

I think that is why I am so taken with them. They are pretty, clever, and practical all at once. For anyone who loves styled bookshelves, beautiful coffee table decor, or home accessories that secretly work harder than they look, these hidden storage books are such a fun find.
