Back in the day, heater grates were so stunning! They had intricate patterns and the most beautiful patina. I have seen really neat projects where people make beautiful tabletops out of them, but I’m not that talented yet! I knew I wanted to display this gorgeous piece for spring and what better than tucking in a few faux succulents?
Faux succulents are seriously the best ever! They look very authentic, they are relatively inexpensive and YOU NEVER HAVE TO WATER THEM! That’s my favorite part! The opportunities are endless here, you could fill the entire grate with small succulents or create a pattern like I did with the draped succulents. No matter what you choose, it is a neat display for spring any way you look at it!
Supplies
– Antique heater grate
– Faux succulents (these are my favorites – here, here, and here)
