I am so excited to be here today! I am also happy to show you my fleur box succulent makeover. Whew-this has been a long time coming. I have pondered about this box a lot and finally came up with a solution. I hope you like it and are inspired to makeover a fleur box or basket you might have.
This is what I started out with. A box full of sticks, pots, shells, moss balls, a bird’s nest, etc.. Junk, really. It was all there but with no composition, rhyme, or reason.
I was a HL today and spotted these lovelies. I know, I am not a fan of fake flowers-at all. Ask the brides I help. Ugh! BUT, succulents almost look fake at times, don’t they? Well, these fake succulents look real enough to me to use them in my fleur box. Woo!
So I pulled my new components together. Succulents, moss balls, shredded paper, and a grapevine ball I found for a $1 while thrifting. Yes! I was ready to start.
I used the shredded paper as my “dirt” or foundation. This is a good start.
I began placing my moss balls, and succulents in their new home. Don’t they look happy?
The shredded paper is the perfect background for the green moss and the succulents. The grapevine ball even shows up better. I am loving this new look for my fleur box succulent makeover.
I also painted the front of the fleur box blue to have a fresh look to go with the fleurs box succulent makeover.
Wow! What a difference! Once what was a drab box is now full of color and appeal. I am loving this new look for my fleur box succulent makeover.
Do you have something similar that you could freshen up? It’s not hard at all. Just use your imagination, and items that you like. This will bring your space new life and appeal. Best of all, it will make you smile!

Meegan, What a transformation. Love the crisp white paint with the aged wood.
I love the transformation! The shredded filler in the bottom is a genius idea!
Thank you Heidi. I am so happy you liked it. It was REALLY fun. xo
Succulents are the best arent they, the only plant I cant kill! Yours look great styled in the box although I find I need to put mine outside to get some sunshine to bring back their colour :)
Michelle,
Succulents have a timeless look, don’t they? I hope yours stay green and healthy. Unfortunately, mine aren’t real. But, I enjoy them just the same :)
Come back again very soon!

So cute! The thick texture of succulents (real or not) is so pretty!
I would have to agree Krista! Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you come back again. xoxo
