Do It Yourself - Smarten up your delicate plants differently!

There’s an enchanted quality to this placement of greenery, as if delicate plants are spilling in from the chimney.

How to Do It:-

• First check to see that your fireplace gets at least a little bit of sun.

• Then shop the garden center (or your house) for about a dozen low-light plants—ferns and mosses are perfect—and nice-looking terra-cotta pots of different heights and shapes.

• Use a stump (again, at the garden center) or a stool to elevate one plant.

• Turn over spare pots to serve as stands for others, creating a sense of organic randomness through varied levels.

• Place some plants inside the fireplace opening, with others inching out and a few flanking the opening.

• Matched pairs pull the look together.

• Leave some blank space, rather than filling every inch.

• The intricate leaves can be appreciated (and watering is easier) with a little air around them.

You Are Done!

#DoItYourself - Utilize your pillowcase in a different way!

Handle with Care

Gather a pretty patterned pillowcase, an embroidery hoop (we used a 12-inch ring), and 10 inches of ribbon to hang.

Clamp the case into the hoop, tie on a loop of ribbon to the hoop's clamp, and hang near where you disrobe.
