Although fall is my favorite season it does make me sad to see my garden fade. Most of the front garden is evergreen, but the porch which normally houses a few pots of flowers was looking bare. This time around I wanted something that would last
and that was easy to manage. I really just did not want to have to think about it too much, so instead of flowers I used reindeer moss that had been dyed a bright green. I bought it from a local garden shop and could not be more pleased with the outcome.

Creating this look was super easy. I simply hot glued the moss to a half round circle that I picked up at JoAnn Fabrics. The circle fit perfectly into the mouth of my pot and stays there quite nicely. Ugly on the bottom...

Fabulous on the top...


A little color in the garden could not make me any happier.
Looks great!

ReplyDeletexo
Love it! It adds that needed burst of color.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really well. I like the simple tabletop display wou created.
ReplyDeletePaula! This is both simple and stunning!! I love using moss as a simple burst of green/color. I also love that plant stand with the slate-looking top! Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look for the transition of seasons! I may have to snag this idea!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Your home looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous and would make for a great magazine cover. Seriously! I love your porch and your shutters.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the moss really does last...I was cutting back some branches from my birch trees a few years back and decided they looked too pretty to toss. So I got some florist foam, squeezed it into a vintage glass bowl, covered the top with reindeer moss and artfully arranged the branches. It's been on display for years, literally, and still looks good! {great minds...}
i love it. with the contrast of the white. so simple and perfect. i could rock there with coffee all day.
ReplyDeleteI love that pop of color. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo fresh and so pretty! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOoh I sure do hope they have some of that moss & my local garden store. I love it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. - We both have that same old singer machine except yours has a better top on it.
I just love reindeer moss. The pots look great with the burst of bright green. And I still can't get over how much I love your porch. Can I come over and rock awhile?
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I've been dying for something just like this - thanks for the inspiration to do something about it! :)
ReplyDeletethat moss is such an amazing color! looks so great.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Love moss...always looks so great..I really love the green you chose. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat job; this pop of color looks fantastic on your porch. It's always nice to see some green, no matter what time of year.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea- I think I might have to copy that one :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! And those moments of green just pop against the background (and it makes such a lovely image too). You don't need more than this...
ReplyDeletelove those urns!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so refreshing and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a great idea! And you don't have to water it...the best part!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the simple white with a bright burst of yellow/green! It's gorge!
