Succulents are a girl’s best friends. They are easy to re-pot, not very demanding and add much-needed greenery indoors.
After I undertook my first paint makeover project, I painted some terracotta pots. I painted them in blue, a mint green and a mix of the two (that’s the larger pot in the picture).
I knew that the best thing to plant in them would be some no-fuss succulents. And I found the perfect candidates. I have no idea what they are called, but they are really cute!
They form a cute vignette on my side table. I have had these cute glass bud vases/bottles with raffia bows for ever. Found them at the dollar tree, of all places!
It is interesting to see myself gravitating a lot towards blues and greens in decor lately. Perfect for spring and summer, I say!!

Very pretty!
Thank you! Just saw that you have a link party. Will be joining you!!
These are so pretty 🙂 I would love to see a picture with less zoom to see how they look on your side table
Thanks for visiting.
It helps to have another perspective on how things look. Will keep it in mind for next time. Really appreciate it 😉
I love this idea! I really need to get more houseplants and easy to maintain is even better! I’m inspired 🙂 Krista @ A Handful of Everything
Thanks for visiting. Glad I could inspire you!
I really like the soft blue paint you picked. So pretty!
Thanks you. Blue is so soothing. I am loving the blues lately!
I love succulents. They are always so pretty! And the colors you picked for the terracotta pots are so pretty too. Thanks for sharing it with us again this week!

Thanks for visiting. Glad you liked my color choice!
It’s amazing how popular succulents have become lately. They are so much less demanding of time and “expertise” than many other plants are. We brought some hens/chicks with us from KY where they did really well and some are still alive, they keep multiplying. Some of ours died this winter, it was so extremely cold for so long. (we live in western CO west of Grand Junction). They look very nice in the prettily painted pots you put them in. Happy Weekend
Thanks for visiting!
Winter was brutal this year 😦
Happy weekend to you too!!
Very pretty! I love succulents. I’m a new fan by way of Serenity Saturday link up!

Those are so awesome! I love the colors you painted your pots!
