I found this C-U-T-E terrarium-type object at the thrift store when Rachel and I were shopping for stuff for her playhouse makeover. It didn't look so cute then, but it was $6.99!
It sat in my family room for weeks without so much as looking at it - just trying to ignore the bad state it was in.
One day I finally took pity on it and took it outside and got all the glass inserts out. Seems easy enough...
I used this spray paint. I don't know why I had it, but I did. Let me tell you - this is the BEST spray paint I've ever used. You can trust that I'm sort of an expert since I've spray painted quite a bit. See where it says "2x the coverage"? Well, it seriously WAS 2 times the coverage - SO impressed with it! It was worth the little bit of extra money....
I found the bottom of a leftover container from a restaurant and cut the top off. I used it to line the bottom of the now-painted terrarium - oh, and I put the glass back in, too!
I bought some teeny-tiny succulents and left them in their little pots! I put some rocks in - probably should've used the "small" rocks {these were medium} but it's what I had in my shed! Super cute!
I couldn't decide how I liked the stuff around it, so I tried a few things!
Or, this?

I think I like the second one. I might add that I'm trying to hide some weird holes in the corner of the shelf! I think I accomplished that!
