Bring on the sunshine,
and the flowers,
and the plants.
Lots and lots of plants.
I love spreading Spring around my house with green!
I'm not super picky about plants.
As long as they look good,
I'm good.
Faux, real, whatever!
I had an apothecary jar in my cupboard
without a top.
I wasn't sure what it could still be used for and almost got rid of it.
I still really liked the shape
so I decided to use it for a plant.
I put rocks in the bottom for drainage,
and filled the rest of the vessel
with potting soil.
Then I added plants.
To water this plant
I stick in a few ice cubes once a week.
works great to add some green
to the top of the cupboard in our living room.
I especially like adding green to
my already existing decor,
near these picture ledge shelves.
This plant is 2 small bushes
stuck together to form a topiary,
planted in a painted terra cotta pot.
On the window ledge, above the kitchen sink
is a perfect place to put plants
because of the natural light that comes in.
I planted a mini rose bush in an old container
from the flea market.
I also used ramekins for small plants beside it.
I added a fresh lavender plant
in the bathroom.
This is a bright room,
perfect for a lavender plant that loves full sun.
I used a distressed metal bucket.
In our other bathroom,
I put one faux and one real plant
in small metal candle cups.
Even my desk got in on the plant action
with a mini gerbera daisy.
