Add fresh air!
Option 1: Bring fresh air into your living space by adding a potted plant. If you have allergies, consider using a Parsley, Thyme, Swedish Ivy, or Peperomia plant and stay away from Fig plants.
Option 2: If you prefer a little more color, add a few flower stems to a pretty vase.
Option 3: Clip some budding branches or evergreen sprigs from your yard to bring the outside in.
My Outcome: I found a cute planter with birds sitting on a branch.
I hope I see you tomorrow! Remember to post pics or leave me a comment and tell me about your projects. I love talking decor. 😉

January 6, 2014 at 11:00 amThis is the first type of challenge I have seen like this and I like it. So different and a great way to start actually sprucing up the place where you live.
Kathy says
January 8, 2014 at 5:23 pmWhat a sweet compliment Kita! I’m trying to make them simple and easy enough to actually get done but still want them to have an impact on the space.
