Container gardening is fun and satisfying, giving you fresh picked herbs any time to add to your favorite dishes and drinks. We'll go through some planter ideas as well as a step by step process for putting together a winning herb pot combo that’s both delicious and ornamental. If you're new to container gardening, rest assured with a little effort (not much!) you'll grow great results.

Are you almost as picky about your indoor plant accessories and pots as you are your plants? Looking to bring the outdoors in with a garden room and a bunch of ugly plastic accessories and pots don’t fit the bill? Me too!

While I definitely have quirky plant preferences that may or may not be rooted in aesthetics, (like some weird trait they have) I want them looking good in their container and on display.

They are the living part of my home decor and in many ways my favorite design elements, but regardless, they need to contribute to the home aesthetic and not just look like a bunch of plastic-y pots crowded together by a window. (OK so that’s kinda what’s going on in my kitchen, but we’ll pretend otherwise for now.)

This is my exact design process written down for designing and decorating a space. The whole point though is to make it adaptable so it serves YOU, your home, and your loved ones. If you follow these guidelines, you will create a room that is comfortable, cohesive, functional for you and yours, and reflects your own personal style.

It also doesn’t need to cost a fortune. I firmly believe that design constraints, whether budgetary or otherwise, often result in a more interesting project and not the other way around.

Most of us are sheltering now, so I decided it would be appropriate to write about getting creative and decorating with what we already have or can find in nature for free in our collective backyards. Many of our home projects have been put on hold indefinitely while we try to flatten the curve and also reassess our financial situations which may look very different from a few short weeks ago.
