DIY Indoor Garden

Not sure about you, but I've found myself mentally jumping to April and May already. I can't wait for Spring and all the good things that come along with it :) {Hoping Seattle can deliver a least a little warm sunshine in my final quarter at SPU!}  All these thoughts of Spring had me longing for a little garden of my own. Clearly I can't plant anything outside, as it's still freezing! But that didn't stop me. Two weeks ago at my tour of West Elm's Spring collection, I was inspired by their indoor garden feature. They have everything from the plants and succulents needed, to the beautiful glass hurricanes and bubbles to house the plants. I bought a cute little green succulent while I was there, then went out last weekend to one of my favorite garden stores for the rest of my goods.

Materials: Plants, terra-cota pot and saucer, moss, pretty bowls or jars, paint, brushes, glue gun, tape.

Step 1: Cut your tape into small strips to create a pattern on your pot. I chose to make stripes.

Step 2: After you paint in your lines, peel the tape away to reveal the pattern. I love the imperfectness of my pot- notice the little paint splatters? Perfect.

Step 3: Glue your saucer {the saucer I bought is two sizes too big for the pot size, perfect proportions to sit it on top} to the upside down pot.  This creates a terra cotta pot cake stand!

Step 4: Load up your indoor plants on the stand and adorn with some moss for texture. I placed each of the succulents in a decorative milk glass cup and ceramic bowl {similar anthropologie finds: one | two}

 

 

 

After about an hour of coming home with my materials, I had myself my own little indoor garden- the perfect, colorful remedy I needed to quench my longing for Spring.  What about you- do you love flowers and gardens as much as I do?
