This pretty room caught my eye while I was perusing Pinterest.
I loved...
the texture of that evergreen in the rustic, aged pot
the statement of an over-sized accessory
the unexpected idea of bringing it indoors
I immediately thought of all the evergreens I've seen at Home Depot and Lowes
garden centers lately for $5 - $10 depending on size...

Here are a couple of ideas if you don't have a rustic pot:
Hobby Lobby has them on sale this week 50% off
Terra Cotta Pots are inexpensive, this is my favorite diy to give one some patina:
No tutorial, but Karen from Redoux Interiors explains,
'Cover terra cotta pots in joint compound, let dry, paint and let nature take its course.'
I think it's one of those no fail projects - it looks great even messed up!
I'm off to get my plant...stop by tomorrow to see what I did with it,
or go get your own!

Can't wait to see it. Love this idea!
That pot looks really cool. I can't wait to see your spin on it.
Love the pot and can't wait to see what you do! I need to add some real green to my house.
Hmmm. Love the look of it but not sure if it will survive inside... But for $10, give it a shot, right?
Great idea :) I wonder if an evergreen would stay 'ever' green inside for me???
i love that idea from karen! she is so smart!
Ive got the potting bug, too. Have fun!

I love the look of the evergreen inside….but I wonder how it would fare? So pretty and different!
Can't wait to see where you place your greens Pam, I do love plants inside the home, it just makes me feel I'm breating in healther and fresher!
Love them Pam! I have lots of topiary around and greens in the home are so refreshing!
I think I need to go get a few, too!
I love plants in a home but I can't do any type of evergreen ~ very, very allergic! I can't wait to see what you do.
Great idea re: the pots too...thanks!
