Adventures in Terrariums

[brdgt]

This Summer a strong wind came though a knocked this iced tea dispenser over, so I saved it to make a terrarium. I finally got around to that yesterday!



I misjudged the size of the container and got too many plants, so I re-potted them separately. I have a black thumb, so they may come in handy as backups...



Their new home in my office.



I'd also been meaning to hang this green decoration and string some LED lights through it to make it a chandelier. With company coming in a few weeks I also decided to flip this shelf vertical to allow a smidge more space for our guests.

Thanks! I wanted to do that in Madison over the dining room table, but never got around to re-rigging the overhead light to do so.
