Adding some life to the Cucina

Although this time of year is labeled "winter" sometimes in Southern California we have bursts of "summer" weather in January. It was a very warm weekend, we hit 81 degrees today! I took advantage and added some life to the kitchen. I chose succulents because they are drought resistant, which is helpful because I am not the best at watering indoor plants daily. I have been excited to use my west elm trowel since I got it Christmas morning!
started with three mini succulents from Lowe's


3 Ikea pots & West Elm Trowel
Added some dirt from our vegetable garden

Finished product


I used to think succulents were a very pointless flower and they did nothing for me. But I am currently in a succulent phase. We will see how long this lasts!

  1. Your succulents look very nice, even though I'm not a huge fan of them in general. I love the colors of yours! And I love the white pots :)

  2. Oh my, I think succulents are the cutest - especially mini ones. Have you seen Living Stones? http://jaeplantscare.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-care-for-living-stone-plants.html I love them because they look like baby elephant feet.
