Savoring Succulents

January 31, 2010 by Liza Graves

I adore succulents.  I’m becoming obsessed actually. While considered a bit like a cactus, with the little water they need, succulents don’t look out of place in a Southern home. We have a concrete pot in the North Carolina mountains filled with succulents.  They’ve been there for decades and no one does anything to them. They stay outside year round and they continue to flourish year after year.  This no fuss attitude makes them dear to my heart.  Happily, succulents look equally at home with both traditional and modern decor.  I think they are like a piece of coral in their ability to look at place where ever you put it.  Here are some of our favorite ways to add the succulent look to your everyday life:

AshBlue:

Available at www.ashblue.com

Did it take your breath away like it did mine? AshBlue in Nashville can order it for you, through company Be Sweet. Lg size (7x12x28) is $590 and the smaller square size (7x12x12) is $270

Tuvaluhome:

www.tuvaluhome.com

With these candles, you could skip flowers at your next dinner party. Available through Tuvalu, $6 each

Gretchen Walker:

Getchen Walker ETSY site for ring, and other fabulous items,  click here.

I love the mixed metal color and visual impact. ETSY $140

Simply Succulents:

www.simplysucculents.com

Available at simplysucculents, this 22″ turtle is just $75. A living piece of art.

Krislyn Design:

And check out this centerpiece that Krislyn Design did for a wedding.  Click here to see see more of their stunning arrangements.

This picture caused me to start a file – “Weddings.” My daughters are just 8 and 11…but it’s never to early when you see something like this arrangement.

Etsy:

Etsy link for wreath, click here.

Available from ETSY, this living wreath is just $69.50

  • I’m wondering if Nest Nashville might have any succulent decor on sale during their annual 20-75% off everything sale.  It’s going on through Feb. 3rd and is a completely fabulous shop.  Stop by Taco Mamacitas, next door, and you’ll be glad you made your way to the Edgehill Village shops….
