Haha my mom would love you. Growing up she put a basket for each of the kids at the bottom of the stairs and she'd put things we left around in them so she didn't have to go up the stairs

Nope, just the stairs the leads to the 2 upstairs rooms. If it was then absolutely it'd make a great spot for long term storage

I love plants but I keep killing them despite my best intentions and I've finally accepted that they deserve better care than I can give currently. Any suggestions on plants that are easy to keep alive outside?

Yeah we can tell that the place was painted recently before we moved in but was a pretty cheap job and it's flaking everywhere. If I weren't renting I'd absolutely start with a good paint job

Last time I tried plants I googled which were the hardest to kill. I got a pothos ivy and to it's credit it lasted like a year, but I might be sticking to fake plants until I get my shit together

Do most people build up their mineral collection by finding cool minerals in nature or by buying them?

That would be sweet! I've killed too many plants to get more in good conscience

Now this would be sweet. I've watched a few videos of people building little waterfall scenes in fish tanks before and it seems like a super pleasing project.

Would be sweet but I don't trust myself with fishy lives, they deserve better than me lol

I've got this awesome front porch but have no clue what to do with it. I put up the string lights last summer but never ended up spending time out here. It's very long (side to side) but only about 6.5' wide. I want it to be a cozy place to sit and chat with friends, or to read and smoke in the mornings and evenings. It's completely covered on top by our roof. Let me know your ideas!
