Container Garden

Last week I went to the nursery and I eyed this amazing container garden, once I had seen it, I vowed to make one of my own. So I set about getting the plants I wanted and the perfect pot and gravel. I didn't experiment too much with the plants I wanted, since I didn't want to spend a bomb on my first container garden.

This is the final result:

The plants I chose:

Sempervivum

echeveria 

cotyledon which should hopefully have little flowers sometime

And a cacti I couldn't identify.
I am not known to have a green thumb, so I am hoping since this variety doesn't need too much water, it should be able to survive my black them. Will keep you posted.

I need not want...

It's been a month since i blogged, waah!
Well, it's not as though my life has been bereft of happening things, but there was not something i was keen on writing about.

So let me talk about the things I want. Lol, yeah there are so many things I want to do around the house.
1. I want a nice gazebo. i can make do with a not so good looking covering for my patio, but basically i need for the patio to have some covered area.
2. i want to change the door handles and knobs from the generic brass ones to nice dark ones, the more chic looking ones basically.
3. want to put handles on the kitchen cabinets, this one is not a big deal, G n I just need to get to this.
4. I want granite counter tops for the kitchen ..this one is a long drawn out not to say expensive project, so i am thinking maybe 4-5 years later?
5. plantation shutters!!!!
6. a vegetable garden - now for this i need for the mower man to help me set up the ground. but he's not available on weekends, so let's c about that.
7. get a thai zari wall hanging. I just love these, but I have been told the best ones are available in Thailand. So i guess a trip is mandatory :D

Ok, so this is random babble. G thinks I have too many plans, most friends who live in houses tell me we'll NOT end up doing 75% of the changes one plans. So we'll see.
What I do like most to do with my space is make it more comfy, more pretty. If it wasn't for budget constraints and time constraints and LAZINESS I think we could knock all these aspirations out fairly quickly :)
