I've fallen in love with succulents. I have been especially inspired by the succulent arrangements my very talented mother from la vie quotidienne has created. Look at this beautiful succulent arrangement she made....
I have this little funky cabinet in my kitchen which I store canned goods. I needed to primp it up a bit, and I immediately thought "succulents"! Lucky for me, I have a free source for succulents (thank you, my dear mumsie!), so all I needed now was a container. I told the kids, "I'm off to the GoodWill!".
It happen to be 50% off day for red tags, so I only spent $1.50 on this gravy boat. Here it sits prettily filled with succulents in my little funky kitchen cabinet...
For those of you wondering what's happening with the kitchen remodel, all I can say is that it's been a very long process! MacGyver husband has done a lot, but we still need to install the tile backsplash and new floor. I am hoping by the end of summer, we'll be done. But in the meantime, here's a sneak peek!....
A gravy boat makes a lovely succulent container. Your kitchen remodel is really coming together nicely. I'm sure you are tired, but wow. It's going to be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh...that gravy boat is so cute and what a steal! I love the succulents in it. It adds a special touch to the cabinet. As someone who has seen the kitchen remodel I can say it is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love your gravy boat and your kitchen sink. Sometimes you have to wait for the good things......but waiting is so hard.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with growing indoors so I am always impressed with such nice arrangements.
ReplyDeleteYour farmhouse style sink is beautiful.
I love the gravy boat/planter! I think a kitchen remodel always take about ten times longer than you think it would. I'm really liking the gray cabinets!
ReplyDeleteI want to paint my cabinets gray and that is the nicest color I have seen.. what exactly is the brand and color.. thanks..
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! The paint color is Martha Stewart's Bedford Gray.
DeleteIt's going to be beautiful! Can't wait for a big reveal. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Heather. Tyla here. For some reason I cannot comment on your back splash post but I wanted you to know that I think it looks fabulous!!! I know you must be very satisfied. It really is beautiful.
Deletethe plants and containers are wonderful...but the kitchen!!!
ReplyDeletelove it..every little detail I can see, the color, sink, cabinets..can't wait to see it all
what do you see out the window over the sink?
Okay. I admit it. I'm jealous of your farm sink! Maybe I could get one for Christmas this year. :) And you really are like my mother ... she likes succulents too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog you have! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely and don't you just love Goodwill! So many great finds there.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Blessings,

It's amazing how good plants look in pitchers. I was going to buy flower plants but I think I'll just use pitches instead.
