Pottery Barn Inspired Succulent Place Card Holder for $1.00

Have you noticed? Succulents are everywhere...in centerpieces, in wreaths and even in napkin rings! So when I saw the succulent place card holders in Pottery Barn, I knew that was my next project! And at nearly $20 for 4 I knew it would be easy to recreate them for less!

Easy Pumpkins and Succulents Fall Wreath

I am really excited to share my latest creation with you...my fall wreath starring pumpkins, of course, and a surprising sprinkling of succulents! I am loving that combination along with more subtle shades of fall colors! And...it was easy and relatively inexpensive!

Easy Faux Succulent Pumpkin

Have you noticed? I've been seeing lots of succulents mixed with pumpkins in the fall decor this year. Some have been real (and beautiful, I might add) but I decided that I wanted to mine to be faux. That way I don't want to have to worry about little hands or little paws getting into trouble! And I have to say how surprised I was to discover how easy it was to create this beauty!

Easing into Fall...

Fall is my favorite season so you know I am chomping at the bit to break out the bins of décor and start decorating my home! But...I am trying to control myself since it's still August and I usually wait until September arrives.

Fixer Upper Inspired Farmhouse Centerpiece

I am excited because my latest project was inspired by one of my favorite television programs...Fixer Upper! I love seeing Chip and Joanna Gaines transform homes into wonderful architectural and decorating masterpieces for their clients! So when I saw this project on Joanna's blog At Home, I knew that I had to try my hand at it while giving it my own personal twist!

Pottery Barn Inspired Faux Succulent Wreath

I have been wanting a faux succulent wreath for my front door for quite a while now but the price has always been prohibitive. So you know I fell in love when I saw the one at Pottery Barn, but at $100...yikes!...once again it was out of reach! The sheer number of plants that I would need to make my own even made a DIY version too expensive. Then I made a surprising discovery that finally made this wreath affordable!
