California Pixie Vintage Fashion Decor Style Blog

My succulent bohemian decor idea was featured today on SheKnows.com.  I don’t consider my style to be bohemian but I do get called a hippie enough to make me wonder. View full version of the original post on California Pixie HERE.

This was easy! Easy cuz I have all this great junk I seem to find everywhere. It’s prom season and my friend hosted a dinner party for 30 kids before their dance. I never volunteer to help with decor cuz my style’s not matchy theme style and it doesn’t always play well with others. This friend’s the type that let’s you do your thing. She just wants it fun and done! In that case, I’m all in!!  I threw together this super simple table decor. I have these great vintage thriftshop bedspreads from India and a bunch of other fabrics collected from travels. Those combined with mid century pottery stuffed with backyard succulents give the decor bohemian simplicity without an obvious theme, don’t ya think? When I say bohemian I mean that soulful mix and match ease. We strung christmas lights, yes, the colored ones, and piled the serving table full of mexican food. Easy! I’ve realized part of my thing here on the Pixie is to absolutely love what you love and use what you have.  Americans tend to run to the store every time we tackle something. If you look around, your magic’s probably already there, you just have to go for it!

I’ve discovered oasis, that green foam made for florists, works great for indoor succulent plantings.  The plants actually root into it and it holds water like crazy!  Each of these pots are made that way.
