succulents are everywhere...i like them very much. sooooo, i enlisted the hubby's help to make a planter that fit perfectly on our entry way peninsula/divider brick thing. i also wanted it a certain color, so we stained it. i had learned from previous staining activities, that you SHOULD use the wood conditioner first to get a really nice, even tone...and a tone that is closer to what the picture on the can shows.
we lined our planter with a waterproof material, then pea gravel, and then soil for the plants. this was our vision of how our succulents would drain without having to drill holes into our planter to drain on top of my peninsula.
i'm really happy how it turned out. it has been planted for 2 weeks now and all are living and growing...with exception of those tall ones in the back...they may have to be replace :(, but 2 out of many is not bad!

so obviously I'm the crazy commenter today:) This is such a cool idea and it looks great! I have to say I did not know what a succulent was but I do like them now.
