This sweet, sweet lantern lives in our downstairs bathroom. I built it some time ago, and put in some greenery. But, I admit, the greenery has been giving my perfectionist self some trouble.
Originally, I thought a fern mixed with ivy would be perfect.. so that's what I put in! However, it didn't take much time until I plucked out a good chunk of the fern 'cuz it was too bushy...
Not bad. Really, there's nothing actually wrong with it.. but, then the little balls I used as filler (which looked so colorful and fun before I put them in with the greenery) started bugging me 'cuz they just blended in too much.
So, finally, I recently did a sort of overhaul to the greenery again... I took it all apart, wrested out all those little balls, then reassembled it. This time, with earthy colored rocks (for a better contrast) and replaced the fern with a different type of trailing ivy. Here it is all put back together:
A small, silly thing, but I like it much better now!
So much better. Hopefully my inner-perfectionist will finally be able to rest.
