Hi, I'm Bertha B. Moats!
Welcome to It’s For Two! I’m Bertha, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. This little corner of the internet is where I share my passion for creating a beautiful, comfortable home while navigating the wonderful chaos of everyday life. Whether you’re here for home decor inspiration, DIY project ideas, gardening tips, or just some real talk about mom life and hobbies, I hope you’ll find something that resonates with you. My journey into the world of home improvement and creative living didn’t start with a design degree or unlimited budget—it started with a house that needed love, a family that needed a home, and a determination to make it all work without breaking the bank.
Like many of you, I wear multiple hats. I’m a mom, a homemaker, a DIY enthusiast, a gardener (with varying degrees of success!), and someone who’s always looking for ways to make life a little more beautiful and a lot more manageable. I believe that creating a home you love doesn’t require perfection or a Pinterest-worthy aesthetic—it requires authenticity, creativity, and a willingness to try new things. Over the years, I’ve tackled countless projects, from furniture makeovers and wall transformations to vegetable gardens and seasonal decorating. Some turned out exactly as I envisioned, while others taught me valuable lessons about what not to do! Through it all, I’ve learned that the process is just as important as the result, and that’s exactly what I want to share with you here.
On this blog, you’ll find a mix of practical home decor tips, step-by-step DIY tutorials, gardening advice for beginners and experienced growers alike, and honest reflections on managing a household while pursuing creative passions. I’m a firm believer in budget-friendly solutions, repurposing what you already have, and finding joy in the small improvements that make a big difference. Whether you’re refreshing a single room, planning a complete home makeover, starting your first garden bed, or looking for hobby ideas that fit into a busy schedule, I’m here to provide inspiration, guidance, and encouragement. My goal is to show you that beautiful, functional living is achievable for everyone—regardless of budget, space, or experience level.
What makes It’s For Two special is the community we’re building together. This isn’t just about me sharing ideas; it’s about us learning, growing, and creating alongside each other. I love hearing from readers about their projects, their challenges, and their successes. Your stories inspire me, your questions help me create better content, and your presence makes this journey so much more meaningful. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or someone who’s never picked up a paintbrush, you’re welcome here. I believe in creating a judgment-free space where we can all embrace our creativity, learn from mistakes, and celebrate the wins—big and small.
Thank you for being here and for letting me be part of your home and life journey. I can’t wait to see what we create together. Feel free to explore the blog, try out some projects, and don’t hesitate to reach out through the contact page if you have questions or just want to say hello. Let’s make our homes and lives more beautiful, one project, one plant, and one inspired idea at a time. Here’s to creating spaces we love and living life with intention and joy!
