my latest mission.
when it comes to decorating it is a long process for me to find the exact item for each space. i’ve been looking for a container for my succulents and i wanted it to match the green on my front porch. Â i wasn’t able to find a garden pot, so i realized that i needed to think outside the box. the most obvious choice was to use a baking container. Â i was recently in home goods and i found this wonderful green chantel baking dish. i knew the moment that i eyed it, that it would match my porch decor perfectly! Â the rest is history. Â i have found that succulents are the best plant for my outdoor garden, it survives my brown thumb neglect. Â i hope you are enjoying your summer and thanks so much for stopping by. Â here is the post for the rest of the week:
friday ~ my latest inspirations
sunday ~ learn what eco-friendly product i’m using to keep the deer from destroying my roses!
i put a layer of small pebbles on the bottom of the pot for drainage and then combined about 2/3 potting soil mixed with 1/3 sand.
here is a view of my front porch. i just love these chairs and our sunbrella pillows.
we have been busy working on our garden and so, here are the outdoor lights we recently bought at target. Â this year we decided to get lights that are have a outer metal shade to protect the light bulb. every summer we have had too many lights break and then we have glass near out pool. so, Â i’m hoping that these string lights prove to be a good investment. i just love the look of them on our deck above our pool.
I named my blog Happy Happy Nester because I love everything related to the home. I’ve always enjoyed decorating my surroundings. Get cozy and stay for a bit, thanks for visiting!

Hi Janine,
What a clever, original idea! Looks awesome!! And I'm a fan of succulents because they require such little watering.
Cheers,
