i have mondays off and let's face it, most people are at work and there's not a whole lot happening. so, naturally i decided to start a project to keep myself busy yesterday: houseplants. up until now i've grown a couple small potted herbs and succulents indoors and they've ultimately met their early demise under my neglectful ownership. i'd underwater, overwater or just forget they existed entirely. i'm bound and determined not to kill these guys though.
i had a few terra cotta pots that had seen better days lying around outside. i decided to give them a facelift with a little white paint since they're going indoors.

i love bringing the outdoors in and refreshing a space with plants. they add so much life without a whole lot of effort. another huge benefit of houseplants? they clean toxins from the air and add oxygen. score!
