Sometimes a very small change, for a very little amount of money, can make me so happy.
I had this fake plant plant, but I never liked how orange the pot was.
I meant to paint it, but never got around to it.
Then I found this little piece of pottery at the thrift store.
I really liked the texture. It reminded me of faux bois.
I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but it was cheap so I brought it home.
Then one day it occurred to me....why not put the fake plant into the thrift store pot?
So I put some floral foam into the pottery, pulled the plant out of the old pot and stuck it in the new pot.
Easy, peasy! :)
I placed a bit of Spanish moss on top of the floral foam to cover any gaps.
I really love the way it looks now!

I so agree. The little things can make a BIG difference and bring a smile to our design-lovin faces! :) It looks great.
The smallest things can make you feel like you have a whole new look. Love the beautiful green bottle you put with the greenery.
Glad to be your newest follower, Mary Alice
It's so sweet. I think any kind of greenery is nice, especially this time of year.
This is such a cute pot and your plant looks real! Are they teardrops? I had a real once and killed it. I am NOT good with plants at all! ;-D
XO,

Yep, that is what that plant needed. Looks great now.
Just the upgrade your plant needed!

Your vignette is lovely. I have several of those little plants and think they add a look of softness to an area just the way it looks in your vignette. I would like to invite you to show this or anything pertaining to the home at my "Your Cozy Home Party". now through Thurs. at 10 pm. I have some of my faux plants in pretty containers similar to yours but sometimes I like the clay pot look. I think they are cute either way.------- Shannon
You are so right. The little things often make the biggest impact in how we feel. This was a very lovely post.
very nice
Nice look! I love the new change to the pot!
Hi Lisa! I have that same plant! LOL Yes, it does look much better in the pot you have. Maybe when I move, I'll look for a different one too! Hope you are well.
Amazing how such simple things can bring us joy isn't it. :) I am the same way.
Tracy :)
I have this same little plant , Lisa. I usually stick it in a basket or crock because I don't care for the color of the pot either. I love the pot you used ~ very charming!
