Favorite Neutral Pots and Planters From Walmart

Update your home for spring with neutral pots and planters from Walmart!  It's that time of year when I'm incapable of walking out of Home Depot or Walmart without buying a new pot or planter.  I can't help it.  I naturally gravitate to the plant section and have little self-control when it comes to plants. It doesn't help that Walmart has a great selection of affordable plants and neutral pots.   You can always have more houseplants or pretty planters, right?

Keep your home organized in style with practical storage crates, baskets, and bins for every room and budget! Happy New Year!  Does the start of a new year motivate you to declutter and get organized?  I'm not the most organized person, but a new year always has me itching to declutter and get the house a little more organized.
