Planter with Moss & Bark

 

 

 

Last week, my boys asked me to bring them down to the end of our street. This is seriously one of my favorite things to do. 

 

We live in a small city, so our yard it kind of tiny. Actually, it's tiny and hilly so not always the most conducive to playing and running around.

 

But, at the end of our street is this place my boys call the monuments.  It's sort of this large cobblestone circle with statues commemorating soldiers who fought in various wars. They like to go there and walk around calmly and examine each statue run around or ride their bikes like complete maniacs.  And attached to the monuments is this huge plot of land and a beautiful old school that is in transition.

[My Project Notebook]

(I always have a ton of decorating and DIY ideas floating around in my head. Many of them end up in my project notebook that I keep in my nightstand. I thought it would be fun if I shared some of my ideas with you all each week.)

This week, as I have been decorating my house for fall, I keep thinking of new ways to add in bits of nature.  Even though I'm not really an outdoorsy person I love adding natural elements to my decor.  It's free, gives loads of texture to a display and provides beautiful color.  Here are some options I'm considering:
