Step aside, Pinterest—these books walked so DIY blogs could run.

Our Home & Garden Shelf is packed with retro “better homes” wisdom, floral-patterned guides to houseplants, and home improvement manuals that may or may not suggest shag carpet as the height of sophistication. Whether you want to grow tomatoes, feng shui your living room, or finally learn what a miter saw does, this section’s got you.

🏡 Perfect for:

• Green thumbs (and green thumb wannabes)

• DIY dreamers who believe duct tape fixes everything

• Nostalgia seekers chasing avocado-green kitchens and macramé wall hangings

Fair warning: may inspire you to start composting, rearrange your entire living room at 2 a.m., or attempt topiary art you’ll immediately regret.
