Mason Jar Succulent Planter

Last week, I revealed my Modern Farmhouse Bathroom makeover and I have one last DIY tutorial to show you.  It’s super simple and takes no time at all and would make a great piece for a wall gallery or a small rom.

So here’s my DIY Mason Jar Succulent Planter.

DIY Industrial Succulent Holder

I know some people have expressed concern about drainage within a mason jar but I read over at Not Just A Housewife that it can work as long as you don’t over water, which shouldn’t be a problem with succulents since they need very little. You can also put rocks in the bottom to help!

Succulent Supplies

Supplies:

– Scrap piece of wood

– English Chestnut and Kona Stain

– Galvanized Perforated Plumbers Tape 

– (1) 3/4″ Screw

– Mason Jar

– Succulent

I started by wrapping the plumbers tape around the mason jar until it overlapped and I found two holes that aligned. Then I used heavy duty scissors to cut it.

I placed a screw directly through the two holes that aligned and then screwed them in place.

And then hang it on the wall and plant your succulent! I hung mine by placing a screw directly through the board and into the wall.

Do you have a place for one of these?

Don’t forget to check out my bathroom reveal here. :)

    Hi! I’m your newest follower (as of 2 minutes ago) and I have a quick question if you don’t mind. You mentioned two kinds of stain in the list, but I was wondering what the exact staining process is because it turned out so great! Thanks!

Solving this design dilemma! This large light swit Solving this design dilemma! This large light switch in the middle of the wall has been tricky to decorate around, so I decided to decorate with it, incorporating it into the gallery wall. 

All the prints are purchased from Etsy!  Most frames are from Target.

It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
