As I wrote a while ago, I’ve been starting to crave more greens to my home. Meaning flowers and plants – not any green sofa cushions, throws or any other green decor items for me thanks ;-).
Since I definitely don’t have the greenest fingers, I felt like a low maintenance cactus would be the perfect choice for me – at least to begin with. So I went for cactus shopping, but little did I know there was so many different kinds of cactuses to choose from. Different size, models, more spiky, not that spiky..
My cactus shopping ended up with me going home empty handed, since I simply couldn’t make my mind about which of them would be the one. Well, turns out, I didn’t even have to.. A couple of day ago there was a white little paper bag waiting for me on the kitchen table when I came home..
What was in the bag then? Well, a cactus of course! My boyfriend had gotten it for me as a surprise and even with the risk of sounding cheesy, the cactus he had chosen was just perfect. Everything I hoped from my cactus. So yeah, no bouquets of roses around here, a spiky little cactus is just the perfect surprise for a gal like me, haha!
Accompanying my new spiky friend is a cute little pineapple candle from H&M Home and a lovely Diptyque candle in the scent Mimosa.
Peeping from the side is also a bouquet of hydrangeas, fake though. Although they are the most real looking fake flowers I’ve seen so far. Fresh flowers to all their glory, but I gotta admit these are a much more practical solution for me! And as said, no one would never even guess they aren’t real..
