Adventures in Terrariums

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...

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 have a black thumb but am actually pretty good with cacti and succulents, so we'll see!

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.
