Styling a Coffee Table with New Plants

Hello Friends!

I just thought I’d take a break from painting trim to share with you my coffee table.

Because it is winter, everything kinda starts to feel a little bit depressing.

Do you agree?

The trees are all bare, it’s cold and gloomy, and some days the sun doesn’t even make a peek.

This is always the time of year that I load up on Vitamin D and start dreaming of Spring time.

I have found that by bringing in a few extra house plants, it really helps to liven up our home.

Now I’m not the best plant grower around 🙂

So….I have discovered the discounted section in all of my favorite stores that sell plants.

A lot of stores will reduced the price of plants that may need a little extra TLC. Either the plants need to be re-potted, or maybe they need a little more sunshine. Whatever the reason, I like to think I can save them. And well, then if the plants don’t make it…….it was on its way out anyway, Right?

I picked these two little plants up at Fred Meyers, and at Lowe’s. I have bought a few more plants as well, and so far they are all surviving.

The cute little green enamel pots are from Hobby Lobby, also half price.

I have simply re-potted one of the plants, dividing it between the two new pots.

Now it has more room to grow.

I then had fun styling my coffee table, giving it a fresh new look. I layered my tray with books, candles, and some of my favorite little things, like a sweet little dish and some rocks.

I know I’ve mentioned before, but I absolutely love burning incense.

They give off such a natural and calming scent.

Now, I know the smoke is a little harsh for some people, but I have found that by just placing a few un-lit sticks around the house, they still give off that great scent, without being over powering.

You should give it a try.
