Terrariums

AFTER

Here's what they looked like BEFORE they were turned into terrariums.

Every room needs a bit of green and these easy-to-care-for terrariums a perfect even for those with a black thumb!

They are made from pre-owned glass. We used natural moss and ferns or succulents, decorative stones, potting soil, and activated carbon to absorb odor and keep it fresh, and sand to encourage drainage.

We will custom design a terrarium for you using any materials you choose, including the container.

Our terrariums are now available for purchase on etsy for $30 each plus S&H:

Why buy vintage and refurbished??

Our vintage and refurbished/upcycled goods are often made from quality materials, like solid wood, and were created to last a lifetime. No significant resources have gone into the upcycling of these goods, nor have they traveled as a group of newly mass-produced items from overseas.

We feel good knowing that we've given new life to an old piece. And we hope you'll feel good knowing that the purchase of our goods is a bit easier on the planet.

In most cases, we have added our own stamp to our pieces. If you are the kind of person who demands brand-new, perfected, machine-made items, we might suggest a visit to a catalog website. But if you enjoy the imperfections of time and brushstrokes that indicate the touch of a human hand, you've come to the right place.
