1. Plant foliage in surprising places.

Adding green to unexpected places can make a big impact. I love sneaking plants into little drawers or unusual vessels. One place I’m really loving adding greenery these days is my kitchen! I have herbs growing in terracotta planters all around, but I also have succulents like String-of-Pearls dangling down from the kitchen shelves. It’s so vibrant and fun!
