    I would love to have a faux fiddle leaf fig, but can not justify spending $100+ for it. Maybe I will get one if I win the Reader Appreciation Giveaway!

      Thanks Laurie – it was fun to see it on their facebook page!! That little pumpkin is a project everyone seems to love – I think because it’s super easy to make and there’s really no way to make it look bad lol!!

    Love your blog, ideas and Facebook page! Love to own one of them trees for sure! Although I have not much space, I would probably place it in the kitchen area, I love how the basket brings a much more elegant touch to the plant as well!

    Fiddle leafs seem to be enjoying a resurgence in the decorating area and I truly love how they are used. I need one to ground a corner of my family room and have been looking around at the local plant sales hoping to find an affordable plant. Thanks for sharing with us today.

    I love this plant but my first one I didnt do so well with (i.e. I killed it!) I keep being told to buy an artificial one, having seen these you listed I’m seriously considering it, especially if I were lucky to receive a $100 gift card ?

    Fiddle leaf trees/plants are some of my favorites for the texture, height, and form they add to a room.

    DPSherry here again …the Fiddle Plant really caught my eye…..we have lots of light in our living room and need greenery……I am going to do some Googling and learn more about it as living in the PNW can sometimes be tricky for indoor plants…….#4…Sight of Line really captured my living space…..thank you again for offering up choices for the ‘challenged’ among us…..Oh Happy Days……

    I love these trees but haven’t had one. ..yet! I have a tendency to “over decorate” with plants. (READ: green clutter) ha! So I’m steadily learning the art of having beautiful and beneficial plants in the house without having them take over 🙂

    It seems like a room isn’t finished until you add plants. I’m going to try out these ideas in my new apartment.

    I love the look of the fiddle head plant but my budget doesn’t allow for the purchase right now……..always another time.

    I love all the beautiful inspirational ideas and have incorporated my interpretation of them often.

    Hello
    I’m trying to find your post about painting inside window frames black. Can you help me out? I didn’t think I’d be able to have this looks because my windows are vinyl clad.
