Hey guys! Remember last Monday when I showed you Home Depot’s verson of this months’ Do It Herself workshop project? Well I am so excited to finally be able to show you my version of their awesome hanging gutter planter!

I am basically obsessed with all things blue lately. Navy blue, to be more specific. I was actually super proud of myself for going a few shades lighter on this project (insert laugh/cry emoji here)! Also, I am still in love with color blocking! It is so easy and on trend and fun! Even if you have never painted anything a day in your life you can color block… which is probably why I love it! #easy

I live in a dessert and I also have a black thumb but I love plants….. so basically succulents are my BAE. We were a match made in heaven, succulents and I! I can forget to water them for a week, and they still look adorable. My kind of symbiotic relationship ;). 

I mean seriously? How cute are those babies? Also, I learned a great tip to not over water them or make a mess… WATER THEM WITH ICE CUBES. I know, I know, it is revolutionary. Every few days I take a cup out with ice cubes and put one every few inches and that is literally all I do. Amazing.

I decided to hang my planter in my front porch nook. My “porch” is pretty tiny, more like a doorstep, but it does have this cute little indent and I decided it would be the perfect place! I’m so glad I put it there because this cute spot is the first thing anyone who comes to my house sees, and now I feel like it is warm and fun and a pretty good representation of my style.
