Decorating with Plants
January 30, 2013 by admin • 13 Comments
Hi Friends! I hope everyone is doing great mid-week. I did some re-arranging in the living room. PB inspired I decided to add some natural elements behind the sofa, adding a little charm to an otherwise dreary area. Our window looks out over the patio and just a few feet from the patio is a long grey fence. Not a pretty sight right now. The sofa was backed up against that window and I moved it away enough to make room for a sofa-table. Actually it’s the table from the entry way…which now needs to be replaced with another piece of furniture. But that’s okay. See how I create work for myself?
I just found these succulents at Lowe’s Garden Center on clearance. All of them were bunched up in one small container, four different varieties, so I separated them and re-potted them. I don’t know the names of the different plants, although one resembles an aloe vera plant.
This orchid was also a clearance purchase….it’s wonderful having some pretty blooms in the room.
How about you? Do you decorate with plants?
I have lots of projects and fluffing planned and will tell you all about it…or better yet, show you my progress. I’ll visit with you soon.

Moni, you created such a nice space for those plants. I’ve often lamented that I don’t have a nice windowsill to put plants in (well, I do, but they’re not wide enough) but this is a great idea. Now keeping them alive is another thing for me entirely! Enjoy your Wednesday.

I love plants. Brings a space to life.
I am a retired floral designer so, yes, I DO decorate with plants! We just moved to this new house in Oct. so I have been getting a few new plants for here. Can’t wait til Spring so I can REALLY get into my gardening. XO, Pinky
I’m obsessed with plants both indoors and outdoors. By all means I think plants are the best way to decorate. Looks beautiful
I love the look plants bring to a room! Yours look beautiful Moni!
I love decorating with plants. Your pictures are really pretty. Can you make orchides rebloom? I’ve never succeeded…
I want to do this behind our couch but I don’t have the neat skinny table yet. Instead I brought in our dresser from the bedroom and put it under our bar and put a few pictures and a couple plants on there. I think it looks great! Have a great day I really love your plants.
Love your plants. I, too, love flowers and plants (even faux). Check out my post today, if you have a minute, at Friendship, Life and Style — I’m doing a tablescape with lots of greens, roses, and tulips.
Yes, I absolutely love plants, and I’m believer that they really help to purify the air. So I have a few throughout the house.
I think that’s a great idea to put a table behind the sofa instead of just having it right up against a wall – or window. And the plants on it make it even better! I have the same view out our living room window – our patio and a fence! And the neighbor’s ugly garage.
I couldn’t put a table with plants on it near my living room window though, because of my 3 cats! They are always jumping on the furniture near the window so they can see outside.
Anyway, yes, I do decorate with plants. I have a lot of them!
It looks so pretty! You are the queen of rearranging;-)
Love it!
Hugs,

Beautiful!! I am truly enjoying your site. Your new flowers have inspired me. Hope my Lowe’s has them tomorrow. I do like decorating with flowers. Hope the yard sale was a big success for you.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a sweet comment…we did pretty good at the garage sale. Have a nice weekend Rita!
