A new yard to landscape, a new house to decorate, to use planters or not

September 16, 2009 · Filed Under personal 

IMG_1769 We moved into our new house about two weeks ago. I still have boxes here and there but we’re mostly unpacked. There are a few things still that need organizing and I need a lot of decorating to go around. Right now on the fireplace I have a glass vase full of fake flowers. I need to get some real ones. Perhaps I could use a planter there instead.

 

I found this site called Planter ixchange and found some really cute planters there.

I need to add some color to the walls. Perhaps I’m going to leave the color addition to objects for now. I don’t have time to paint while I’m chasing my two little ones. Hanging some planters in the windows would freshen up the outside. 

All PlantersWith our new house we  got a very cute small land area with a very small back yard. Thank goodness it’s small that means very little upkeep. I have a ton of options when it comes to landscaping and adding plants to the indoors and outdoors. I’m not very good with plants indoors. Keeping up with planters, indoor planters and outdoor planters is not my forte but I could always get creative with what I put in them. I could go a little more modern and use the planters for other things around the house like the toys. I’m a genius. This box would make a great modern toy box for the kids. I mean they want to climb into everything anyways..

I think outdoors though its a lot easier to water them. You can just turn on the sprinkler and let it go for a while. Then when you remember go turn it off. At least in the climate we live in it rains a lot. Maybe that’s why my plants outside live longer than the indoor plants. I just don’t know where to begin almost with all the options I have. I mean the whole house inside and out is like a canvas just waiting for me to decorate it.
