I love those planters there. They really make whatever you’re planting in them that much better. I’m a big fan.

I’m a huge fan of Apartment Therapy too and the book is really helpful. The planters look wonderful and should be motivation to get you into houseplants for sure.

You have a great blog-I always enjoy reading it. I know the feelign re living rooms-I had the worst time just trying to find the right wall colours and I thank Rachel who worked at long gone Simple for saving my life-choosing a rug was tough as well and several came home (or a smaller version)before I found the “right” one-Pottery Barn. Like those planters and I look forward to your book.

Well, I have the luxury of a huge yard where I can dedicate myself to the plants (and see them through the windows). As an urban-dweller, you probably have more need for indoor ones. Good luck!

Tzipporah – welcome! Glad you found me. I haven’t given up on indoor plants yet. I just need to find the right one. The ones I have are always look so crappy and mistreated. Sigh. Maybe I should give up on them!

Jenn – :D

Robin – thanks, doll.

Plants are good. We who love the green are happy to talk about just about anything with chlorophyll!

Just found your blog yesterday while searching for ideas to redesign a woodsy area of our backyard and love it! I’m another big fan of Apartment Therapy.

Honestly, I gave up indoor plants when we got a cat who started eating them, and never got more after our son was born (he’s 3 now) because I was afraid I’d forget them and they’d just die. If you want tending in my house, you need a voice! ;)

GeorgiaGirl – Sounds like we’re in the same (sinking) boat with our livingrooms. Grab hold the liferaft! Ha. Hope I can be worthy of following :)

Liz – Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check it out of the library. I like the way she says she works with what you have already.

Take a look at "At Home with Laurie Ann." One of the styles she talks about is shabby chic, as opposed to your cabin chic. And the book is just filled with help whether you're decorating or redecorating (as I have the yen to do). One of the things I like is how she shows you (with examples -- that's key for me, I must tell you, as I'm style-impaired) how a few small changes can absolutely transform a space from something really ordinary into something wow-ish.
