I saw glass potted succulents on a blog a couple weeks ago and just had to make it myself.
I love plants, but have yet to keep any alive. I would love to have a mini garden on our balcony and thought I should start with some succulents. They don’t need as much attention and they are so pretty! I bought two bowls from Michael’s and three succulent plants from Lowe’s. I already had some potting soil, so it only cost $11 to make. I think they turned out so cute! I’m wondering how long they will thrive in their shallow pots. If they start to look a little sad I figured I can easily repot them and put them on our balcony.

We began the process of turning the second bedroom into a nursery a few weeks ago. I had to fun job of organizing and finding new places for everything that was in that room. Man, we had a ton of junk! It was nice to get rid of things out we didn’t need. Unfortunately our desk was too big to fit anywhere else in the house. We stored it in the garage and bought a smaller desk that fits perfectly in the dinning room. I didn’t like the idea of a dinning/office space at first, but we use our desk top more now, win-win-win

We also picked a color for the walls and Tim painted a couple weekends ago. It took many paint swatches and six paint samples to find the perfect shade of blue. We are both so picky about colors, but a sale made us make up our minds quick. It is a nice light pale blue. We are accenting with black/brown furniture and splashes of green, blue, and a bit of orange. We already purchased the dresser and chair from Ikea and we are keeping the office bookcase in the room. Just last weekend we bought the crib and mattress. Tim’s parents kindly helped us bring it home. I will have to take new pictures soon to show those too. Now that the paint fumes have settled it is time to decorate!
