Since doing a mini makeover on the wine rack we have in our living room a few months back, I hadn’t put much thought into styling the top of it, and it looked pretty much like this for the last few months:

I realize this is a terrible picture, but it’s the only one I could find… and probably for good reason.  All we had on there was a mercury glass vase (which I do love) filled with fake flowers.  UGH.

SO. OVER. FAKE. FLOWERS.

I’ve made myself a promise – no more fake flowers in our house ever again.  Ever.

Live plants just look so much prettier.  Period.

Anyways, last weekend I went to the grocery store and stocked up on pretty orchid plants – you saw the orchid terrarium that has a home on our side table now, but on top of our wine hutch are a few new plants… real plants!

Yes, I realize these are not the best photos – I snapped them with my iPhone because I was fairly certain that I lost our memory card for the DSLR camera.  I’d hunted all over, but could not find them…

**Note: we ended up locating the memory card, so all is well.

It’s totally warped, and things are not all where they belong, but I kind of love it.

You can see the towel rack by the front door, waiting to get sold on Craigslist… any takers?? 🙂  Ha!  If it doesn’t sell by the end of the week, that baby is going on the street corner!
