I don’t know about you but I am ready for spring. Don’t get me wrong I like winter… I like snow… I like being cozy by the fire…but ENOUGH already! These last few weeks have been brutal! It’s been so cold that I don’t want to leave the house unless absolutely necessary. I’m longing for sunny days and flip-flops. If I’m looking for a bright side, I have had time to work on a bunch of house projects over the last few weeks. I feel like the house is far from feeling like home…it’s getting there but it’s lacking in decor and furniture for that matter. Going from an apartment to a house we have rooms that are pretty much sitting empty…but I am having fun filling them up little by little.
This terrarium was quick and easy to put together and I love bringing nature into the house.
You will need:
- a vase, bowl, or apothecary jar
- rocks
- charcoal
- soil
- plants (I used air plants…these, these, these, & these)
First, put a layer of rocks into the bowl.
Next, cover the rocks with a layer of charcoal.
Then, cover charcoal with a layer of soil and add your plants.
I also added some larger rocks I found on the beach and this little buddha I got at a the Jade Market when we went to Hong Kong a couple of years ago.
Daisy approves.
It makes a great addition in our living room.
