#1 – Tall Black Metal Plant Stand
This tall black metal plant stand has so many fun uses!
The black color and simple design of this stand allow it to fit with any decor, any season, or any theme. Because it’s metal, it can be used outdoors as well as indoors. It stands 30-inches tall and has two trays that are 10-inches in diameter. The stand is slim enough that it will fit on most front entryways or steps.
Use this plant stand for its intended purpose to display your plants on your front entry and change the plants with the seasons. For example, in the Spring add a planter of pansies to the bottom shelf and a vase of fresh-cut flowers to the top shelf. In the Summer add a container planter filled with spike dracaena, vinca vines, and French vanilla marigolds. In the fall, place a basket filled with colorful gourds on the bottom shelf and a colorful croton on the top shelf. In the Winter, place a small evergreen topiary on the bottom shelf and a basket on the top shelf filled with special treats for your package delivery people to enjoy.
This plant stand would also work well inside as a small side table or end table – either next to a bed or a couch. Keep the stand as it is, or embellish it by hanging a string of crystals around the rim of the top shelf, dangling down to reflect the sunlight. There are so many ways this simple, yet elegant stand can be used – be creative!
#2 – Wrought Iron Rubber Doormat
Add this wrought iron rubber doormat to your entry for a classic look.
This large doormat is easy to clean and helps keep mud and snow from tracking inside your home. It can be used indoors or outdoors. We like using this mat outside on our front entries in the Winter and early Spring. Because it’s made of rubber, it helps prevent slipping in the Winter and is very easy to clean in the Spring. I love that it’s affordable, too! And… it looks great with the plant stand above!
#3 – Wall-Mounted Glass Vases / Propagation Tubes
Add some flair to your walls with this set of wall-mounted glasses vases!
Just hang the vases on your wall with the included brackets and add fresh-cut flowers from your garden. The vases are perfect for a wall in an entryway foyer – a nice way to greet guests. You could also hang the vases in a bathroom to bring in a touch of nature. Hang the vases on the side of a cabinet in your kitchen and use them to propagate fresh herbs. The wall vases also make excellent propagation tubes for your favorite houseplants. The glass tubes are fairly large, so they would also make a great display of aquatic plants in your home.
To decorate your home for the seasons, change what you use to fill the vases. For example, daffodils or tulips in the Spring, daisies or sunflowers in the Summer, zinnias or mums in the Fall, and sprigs of evergreens in the Winter. Lot’s of clever ways to use this set!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
