A few weeks ago I was blessed once again to visit my niece in the country.
Visiting her home and surroundings is just filled with so many simple pleasures.
Our visits always center around food, shopping in the unique areas around her home, and spending time with her two amazing dogs. They definitely get the most attention and love from all of us.
After Sunday dinner at a beautiful restaurant, we were invited to her in-laws home. Such a well cared for home, inside and out.
In the living room, I noticed a sweet tabletop greenhouse.
I loved it!
I really wanted to take a photo of it, but thought maybe that would have been a bit rude.
Instead of buying an expensive tabletop greenhouse, I decided to make one from an idea I remembered seeing on Pinterest, using dollar store frames.
So one by one I assembled my greenhouse using six 5 x 7 frames and E6000 glue.
It was not difficult, but allowing time for the glue to dry was crucial.
To secure the roof piece, I cut a dowel and glued it down the center of the frames, for added stability.
I spray painted the frames with white chalk paint and the last step was inserting and securing the glass to each frame.
Finished!
My country visit was not only filled with love, laughter, fun, and good food but also the inspiration for a really sweet project!
Hope you all were inspired!
I look forward to another visit soon.
Visiting her home and surroundings remind me of all the wonderful gifts of God’s creation.
Love and blessing to all until next time!
