Need More Green Space?

Are you like me and live in an apartment with no outdoor space to call your own? Being a true Cancer, I like to surround myself with living things like plants in order to feel comfortable in my home/apartment. I never realized how much I appreciated the live plants all over my childhood home until I moved out... an apartment without plants is not a very happy place! Besides, my boyfriend, who loves to cook, is constantly burning himself... so we now just keep an aloe plant in the kitchen.

 
Getting back to the point, I love having plants in my apartment! I actually collect vintage planters. In particular, on of my most prized possessions is my vintage deer planter. Funny story actually... when I was about 10 my mom and I were going "garage sale-ing" while we were in Tucson, AZ and I found this vintage deer planter and fell in love with it. It was only $6, but my mom talked me out of it. This would come back to haunt her. Over the next few years we kept seeing this planter at antique stores and the prices kept going up and up! So the wonderful planter that I originally saw for $6 was now selling for $50-$75. Regardless of the price, I was still so in love with it, and finally for my 19th birthday I got my deer planter! Thanks mom, I will stop rubbing that story in your face now. :)

Another great way to have plants in apartments is by getting wall mounted planters! They are usually meant for the outdoors, but they can easily be installed inside as well. I am tempted to get some and create my own "living wall" by planting ivy inside of them. That would be amazing! Here is another great wall mounted planter:

So precious. Enjoy!
