Sometimes, the simplest projects are the best. Take this easy idea, for example, generated by my stylist friend and colleague Donna Talley for Better Homes & Gardens’ Garden Shed magazine. All you need is an urn or two—hauled in from the backyard or a tag sale—some ferns, moss, and potting soil and you’ve got a instant pick-me-up for a console or an outdoor table. Place the plant in a small terra-cotta pot to allow for drainage before setting it inside the urn.
