There are a few things that you might have noticed around our home that, after hanging with us for a while, should come as no surprise. Think: white bedding (always), navy accents, pale pink something. Velvet everything. Brass. Marble. Terrariums. Dinosaurs! Okay, but let’s get serious about those last two (ha!). We absolutely love adding greenery […]

Our Houseplants of Choice
We’re sharing our houseplants of choice not because we’re flowering green thumbs, no; we’re sharing because in the last several years – especially since moving into this home – we’ve learned that these are the plants we couldn’t kill if we tried. I’ll admit that I’ll sometimes go weeks (dare I say a month or two?) […]
Reconstructive Surgery (Terrarium v.4, Take 5)
First, congrats to Tara, the lucky winner of a 16″x20″ giclée from The Print Shop! Thank you to all who entered and encouraged us to get up and running in the first place. You’re awesome. See all available prints (based on your votes) right here! We’d been doing so good with our houseplants for a […]
Terrarium, v.4 (Oh, the Shame)
We had so much fun globe trotting this past summer, that not only do we have a dusty badge of honor around this home, but we also lost a good, long battle with our dinos, Leonard and Mabel. See that empty plot of terrain? We had some wonderful home-sitters during our travels, but while going […]
Easy Patio Plants (and a Penguin, Too)
We had a lot on our to-dos this weekend, but when it came down to it, our bodies needed rest. It’s been a brain-busy month as we prepare for the launch of our new Shop (coming soon!), and by the end of the past work week, nothing sounded better than afternoon naps and lazy drinks […]
Who Do We Think We Are?
Expert terrarium makers, apparently. Emphasis on the makers. The survival, however, is not our specialty – that is, when said terrariums are placed in our incapable hands. So it’s a good thing that Scott and I whipped up two terrariums to give as a holiday gifts, one of which currently lives with my mom-in-law in […]
Harry’s New ‘Do
Bull sheep. The resident black thumbs strike again. Big surprise. It’s pretty bad when you can kill baby tears, people. Especially when everyone reassures you that they’re so easy to upkeep. You may remember them at a happier time, but they nose dived almost immediately. (Just to be clear, we watered them, sang to them, […]
Dinos v. 3 (and Third Times a Charm)
Oh, dearest, Terrarium Dino Battle. You fickle, tantrum-throwing guy, you. We left only for a few days of summer vacation, and you were so sad. We held an emergency resuscitation, giving you a layer of new soil, a trim, and a cool, spritzy drink of water. But it was too late. Bah! We are so, […]
Dino Battle, Take Two.
As you might recall from a recent post in which I issued an open apology to our terrarium for, you know, murdering it, things didn’t go quite as well as we planned the first time around. It certainly wasn’t due to lack of effort. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I just loved the […]
I Killed It.
Dear Terrarium Dino Battle, In the immortal words of The Band, “My biggest mistake was loving you too much.” My normal plant watering regimen equates to the philosophy that water = love. I generally pour in as much love as I think our flora can handle, then allow the excess love to run out the […]
