{inspired by} cacti and succulents

If you've had time to flip through the latest issue of Rue magazine, then you've already seen these gorgeous photos shot at the Oasis World Resort in Palm Springs...
Those, along with these unreal oil paintings by Lee Kwang-Ho, are sort of making me like cacti and succulents...
Growing up in the desert we had cactus out the ass. I mentally lumped them in with anything 80s southwestern. (was the rest of the country swept up in that trend or just the actual Southwest?) I swore I'd never have cacti in my yard but now I'm starting to reconsider...

  2. I like some more than others but the outdoor living photo with the vertical ones as a backdrop is gorgeous. The furthest west I've been was vegas and didn't notice any. I would love to see some one day in life. I won't act like I did when I saw a palm tree in real life but it'll be interesting LOL

  4. That picture window is such a gorgeous vignette to showcase such sculptural pieces! Albeit a little odd in a residence, but a total conversation piece! Totally pinning...I'll DEF have to shelf this look for a future, super gutsy client! Thanks for the inspiration!

  7. interesting how perspetive changes right? so many things I find now beautiful and some years ago I found dreadful...sometimes it just takes a view in a different light.

  8. I swear we share a brain because I'm warming up to them just as of late too...bought a couple for my porch as a matter of fact. My brain is moving from 80s Southwest to modern Palm Beach:)

  9. I went to the local shop for succulents on the weekend but the selection wasn't great. This post has inspired me to renew my search!

  10. Jessica, I love them. I have succulents throughout my home not only because I think they are cool (grew up in Jersey) but they are the only plants I don't kill.

  11. I so wish I had a yard warm enough for cacti. And yes, I grew up in the southwest too. Live so far from there now...maybe it is just homesickness.
