Terrarium Crush

October 13, 2014

I came across the most amazing succulent terrarium recently and have been obsessed with making one of my own ever since. Add it to the list for the One Room Challenge! (Well, probably. Okay, just a maybe.) I snagged this simple set of glass vases from Ikea for the project. Which means mine will be nothing like the gorgeous examples below, but they are definitely inspiring nonetheless.










Anybody made their own terrarium (...or air plant rope. What the whaaaa??)? Seems pretty intuitive. I suspect the art is in selecting just the right combination of plants. Any tips?

Sometimes I wonder how I've held out this long without finding out whether Baby Reed is a little he or she. (We'll know in a mere two weeks, give or take!) I find this to be especially so when I come across shops like this one with gorgeous, vibrant floral art prime for nurseryness (new term).







Awfully purty, right?? Also incredibly affordable.

I seriously heart these soft, serene and maybe somewhat somber pieces by artist Clare Elsaesser. Her palette is always somewhere between soothing and moody. I imagine her work in a classically feminine space...maybe with deliciously dark walls??

Really loving the work of illustrator Emma Leonard! Girl has a lot of range, but I find that I love her painterly and graphic portraits the most.
