  • Make a Modern Indoor Echeveria Planter
  • I used scraggly old plants that were looking pretty rough. All you have to do is snip the rosette with one inch of stem and let it dry out of direct sunlight. When roots form, it`s time to plant!
  • Use a cactus and succulent soil mix for the best drainage.
  • Arrange your Echeveria  in the planter as you like. Used here: Echeveria runyonii
Echeveria nodulosa
Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg'
Echeveria 'Ruffles'
  • Top the soil with polished river stones.
  • And display! This Modernica planter can be set atop the Brazilian hardwood plinth...
  • ...or directly on the display surface.
  • Here is another idea of how it could be planted.

How to Clean Suede

I brought out my summer sandals and found that the suede insoles were very soiled looking. See below. ...»

I remembered my mother saying that you could clean suede with sandpaper. I thought, 'Wow, that's weird' and it stuck in my head. So I tried it!

Guess what? It WORKS!!

Has anyone ever tried this?

I think it will work on any brushed leather (suede)... but be careful when trying this... try an inconspicuous place first. In my case, it didn't matter because I was ready to throw these sandals out. So whether I ruined them, it didn't matter. But it worked!!! YAY!

Thanks for viewing. Linda
