We spend our time obsessing over home design, trying to think about the big picture of a room or overall style of a home. But sometimes the devil’s in the details.

If I had to pick one thing in my apartment that could really use some pampering, well, I’d choose me. But if I had a second choice it would be one of my houseplants. Minus the succulents, which are as strong and hearty as little lumberjacks, the rest have gone to pot–literally.
