I love these topiaries that come in various sizes spotted at Shoppe Birmingham. Bringing elements of nature into your decor livens up any room. I would use one next to my kitchen window or three in varying sizes on my kitchen island. The height and the color is visually appealing with an added bonus of being easy to maintain. Topiaries found at Shoppe, $18 - $69
This great-looking lettuce edge planter by Jenny Smith can also be found at Shoppe Birmingham. With its vibrant shade of green, it’s easy to add a dose of summer to any space. Try putting it stacked on top of a
stack of books or use it as a centerpiece for your dining room table, an accent table or a countertop. Fill it with fresh fruit, moss or orchids to make it yours. Jenny Smith pot from Shoppe,
