DIY | Fountain + Succulents

Now this was a project I’d been wanting to do for a while!

My husband is a trash to treasure kind of guy. He finds the most amazing things. Usually a trash or “dumpster dive” as we like to call them goes like this…

Brian:  Hey, did you see that?

Me:  Yeah, I don’t think they are actually throwing it away. I think they just put it next to the curb to paint or something.

Brian:  No way – that is definitely in the trash.

Me:  (As we pass it) Do you really think so?

Brian:  Yup. Want me to turn around?

Me:  Nope.

A few blocks later….

Me:  Hey, do you think they were really throwing that away?

Brian:  Yup.

Me:  Can we turn around and you ask them if they are really throwing that away?

Brian:  Yup.

The fountain wasn’t working anymore, so Brian snipped off the cord for me.

Rocks, dirt and succulents later – voila!

Right now, it greets me as I walk out of the front door. Pretty soon, I’ll have to move it inside so that it doesn’t catch on fire in the 120 degree heat – but I won’t mind having this handsome guy inside with me!

Have a great Friday!
