There are many ways to jazz up your front entry. I’ve written about curb appeal, painting your front door a colour and painting ugly bricks. But an easy simple thing you can do right now is grab some pots and put them by your entry. They will instantly transform the space and create a welcoming […]
If you’ve been hanging around on my blog for a while you’ll know that I am quite obsessed with succulents and growing them. My girlfriend gave me a few from her garden a while ago and since then I have been moving and spreading them around. You can see from below they just keep growing […]
Garden pots have really come a long way in the past few years. They include a mix of colours, textures and patterns and they can be used inside or out. You can never have too many pots! They look more dramatic when a similar style is grouped together in large numbers with different plants in […]
Hi there! A few days ago I collated a blog post on ways you can use plants to decorate your home. Today I thought I’d share an image I put together on some indoor plants for beginners. These would be my favourite plants and I have a few myself. The Mother-in-law’s Tongue (or snake plant) […]
Hi there! Still loving your indoor plants? Me too! I’ve been thinking about what plants I would love to add to my home this year. Lots of unique and interesting plants are popping up on Instagram and Pinterest lately and I’ve been making a mental note so that I can keep a look out. While the […]
Are we warming to the idea that terracotta is making a comeback? Hmmmm I was a little skeptical at first. But I can say YES to the aged terracotta pot. That’s a big tick from me. You don’t have to go for the orange shiny terracotta pot. You can choose the white-wash, pale look and […]
How easy does a garden trellis look? I think they are such an awesome addition to a black wall in the garden. I am going to create one myself next weekend – I have the perfect spot! I think I’ll choose a Jasmine vine. They have a deep green leaf and a beautiful white flower. […]
If you’re on the hunt for a plant to put on your coffee table then today I have a few ideas for you. I’ve tried just about every indoor plant there is haha! I am quite addicted. They are such a cheap styling idea and they add an instant lift to any corner of your home. […]
Believe it or not, but I don’t own a pot stand. What the? Ha! When I started this blog post I thought how can that be?! I own about 87 indoor plants, but no stand?? Well today I went looking online for 10 pot stands which would look great in anyone’s home. I recently bought number […]
Over the weekend we had bursts of sunny weather so I jumped outside and decided to attend to my succulent garden and split some of them up so they can grow freely. I also have a couple of Zanzibar Gem plants with new growth and instead of putting them in a bigger pot I decided to […]
I am a sucker for roses! I just love them. This is my house above (well not at the minute because mine have been pruned back) but in a few weeks I’ll see my roses bloom again and I can’t wait. They will cycle over and over about every 55 days during Spring, Summer, and […]
I really am addicted to the Jade plant. You can see below! I just love the look of it, how easy it is to maintain and you can grow it yourself. The reason why I have so many is that I break a bit off, stick it in some water, let it grow roots, then […]
