]]> House plants are such a great way to liven up any home, no matter the size. They bring natural light and color into the space, so it’s understandable why people love them! If you have pets, though, you have to be careful of which houseplants you buy. Some plants can be poisonous for animals, so stay away from these plants if you have furry friends in your home.

Elephant Ear

Elephant Ear plants are gorgeous, but if you have dogs or cats at home, it’s better to skip this one. This plant is highly toxic to cats and dogs.

Pothos Plant

Similar to Elephant Ear plants, Pothos is highly toxic to cats and dogs. It can cause severe irritation in the throat and mouth, and can even cause vomiting.

Aloe Vera

Despite being a natural healer for humans, aloe vera is extremely toxic for dogs (and young children). If ingested, dogs may have diarrhea, vomiting, and other unpleasant symptoms. If you want aloe vera for the healing properties, it’s probably best to get it from a bottle if you have a dog.

Ivy Plants

Ivy plants are another one to avoid if you have pets at home. Although it’s not as severe as some other plants, ivy can cause irritation in cats and dogs.

]]> Being a plant parent is tough, but rewarding work. You need to remember to water them and how often each plant requires it. You have to make sure that they are getting enough sunlight. Maybe you even want to make sure they feel loved (we get it–some people take their plant parent role very seriously). With all of these responsibilities, the last thing you want to deal with are those pesky flies that love your plants. That’s why we’ve compiled a few ideas for how to get rid of the flies for good!

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most effective ways to get rid of gnats in your plants. Immediately upon contact with the solution, they will die. The best part is it won’t harm your plant at all. All you need to do is mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 4 parts water and pour into the soil of your plant. Repeat every few weeks (or as needed)

Vinegar and Dish Soap

If you don’t have hydrogen peroxide, there’s another method to getting rid of these flies that works really well. If you fill a cup with white vinegar and a few drops of dish soap, place it near your plants and it will act as a trap. The dish soap makes the gnats stick to the mixture and die, so they won’t keep flying around.

]]> Putting artwork on your walls, most of the time ends up being the last part of decorating your home. Blank wall space can be hard to fill especially if you want it to fit in with your decor. You might not consider yourself a DIY pro but you can actually create some amazing pieces of art by using the things you already have around your home. Here are three DIY wall decors you can make to brighten up your space.

Boho Wall Hanging

If you like to stick to the neutrals and boho chic is your decor vibe then create this macrame and wood wall hanging. All you need is a piece of wood and some yarn and you can create whatever design you want in whatever size fits your room. Check out youtube videos to perfect your macrame designs.

Plant Wall

If you have the ability to keep plants alive, then this is for you. It might take a little time and effort but the effect is so vibrant and beautiful. Live plants bring oxygen to your space and can help boost your mood. Try any design and plants you love and play around until you get the look you want.

Picture Gallery Wall

Start printing out those pics you are storing on your phone and use them to decorate your home. What better way to remember the good times than having them as a constant reminder on your walls. You can play around with the arrangement, frames, colors and make it suit your room however you like.
