Decoupage Art Stairway
The average height of a stair riser is 7″, but my kitchen stair risers are 8″.
After many scuff marks, I decided to paint the risers and decoupage them with prints from a nautical art magazine. I love the result and the stairs are always admired by visitors!
I used Mod Podge to paint the back and front of each print onto each riser.
Terrarium Frenzy!!
I found this shapely, glass jar at Nest … an addictive shop on Route 1 on the Stonington side of Mystic. I created it as a wedding gift for a friend. Although, I came close to keeping it for myself!

Terrarium Tips:
-Fill base of jar with an inch of clean pebbles
-Add a thin layer of activated charcoal (available at Walmart) to stop bacteria and keep it smelling fresh or just take the lid off the jar twice a week to keep it fresh
-Next, dig up soil with moss and lay it in
-Plant succulents ( they are drought resistant) in between the moss
-add shells, coral, sea glass, or small sculptures
-Add a small amount of water and end with a spritz
Open trifle or mason jars make for an easier, airy terrarium. I even used small, shot glasses as miniature vases.
