Chris and I woke up this morning to 60 degree weather and sunshine. We decided it would be the perfect day to go get some plants for the house and maybe do a little work on the backyard/jungle. We got in the car, rolled down the windows and headed of to the Home Depot.
When we got there we found a bunch of plants that I liked right away. Within minutes the cart was full and Chris and I had 5 plants, 3 planters and some dirt.
We loaded everything into the car and headed home.
When we got back to the house we decided that (knowing me) our best bet would be to bring everything into the backyard for me to re-pot the plants.
We ended up picking up 2 larger plants for the livingroom:
I also picked 3 smaller plants for the kitchen. I went with another small aloe plant, and two other little ones that I don’t know the names of, but look really cute.
Then I got artsy (per usual) with the camera:
Have I mentioned I love my camera??
Anyway, back to the planting. In typical Kate-Style, I managed to get more of the dirt on me than in the planters. Eventually there was enough dirt and the plants were planted.
Chris and I brought them inside and put them in the kitchen and livingroom.
Apparently the plants got kind of heavy when Chris was carrying the big planters up the stairs. As I was coming up the stairs I ran into this:
Whatever works, right? 🙂 Which reminds me, we do need something to decorate that spot with…..
The little plants went in the kitchen on the counter.
The big plants went in the livingroom on the tables.
So there you have it. I FINALLY have the plants that I’ve been wanting for a while. They look great, I love them, and I can’t wait to add more!
Next up, fixing the backyard…..
