Plants Turned into a Work of Art
May 1, 2012 by Aimee • 14 Comments
I’ve always thought these ceramic wall planters were super cute from
West Elm. I love the idea of using plants to become amazing works of art!
I’m in the midst of decorating my foyer. I have just finished up my board and batten wall and you can see a glimpse in the picture below that I’ve started decorating it..more to come soon. I have a fun beach-themed entry table. And along with this room, I wanted a little something by the door. It was so worth taking three kids to the Goodwill…a little pre-grocery trip! I found this cute West Elm-ish Ceramic Wall Planter priced at one dollar! I knew exactly where I wanted to hang it! I like using my foyer to add a splash of holiday and seasonal fun to my home…having this vase will allow me to add another element of evolving decor in the entry!
In keeping with my beach theme, I’ve added a touch of capiz {large thin flat translucent shell} to my vase. I’m thinking in the next week I’ll need to switch this out for my favorite flowers in honor of Mother’s Day! What’s your MOST FAVORITE Flower EVER!?!?
Something about Spring makes me want to bring the outdoors-inside…
I love all of these Plants Turned…Work of Art!!!

Gives such an airy feel to a room, don’t you think!
Be sure to add pebbles below the soil for drainage.

I wonder if these could be duplicated by gluing
small fishbowls to a board and then hanging the board?!

This is no longer being made, but don’t you think this would
be a fun DIY project!?!? I’d want to paint the exterior or use reclaimed wood!?!

These are cute…just be sure to place lots of pebbles below the soil for drainage!
I want that gray couch on the first picture…BAD!!!!!!!
LOVE all the cool interesting uses of plants as well!
How creative! Probably wouldn’t work for me since I have trouble not killing plants when they are planted in the traditional way! Thanks for sharing.

Great Goodwill find, Aimee! I’d say every 4th or 5th visit I find a real gem but never something cool like this!
All of your inspiration photos are so beautiful!
Gerberas always make me smile, but this Spring I think I’ve been partial to the beautiful tulips and daffodils that have bloomed in my garden.
Totally! This was a major gem for my goodwill, too! Thanks Claire! Yes, I love bulb flowers LOTS, too!
Hi Aimee I think your find from goodwill is the best can’t wait to see the Mothers day flowers
My all time favorites are Hydrangeas, Peonies and Tulips! Too hard to pick one! XO, Aimee

Loving the simplicity and elegance it adds to a room. Your foyer is sure coming along. Thanks for the inspiration, but since it’s simmer I might do outside. Thanks for sharing you creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best Par.tay!
Great finds, Aimee! and I love your version! My favorite flower ever is the Iris! I’ll be back to see what yours is
So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Aimee!
I’ve been looking for some 3D wall decor for one of my clients! I think some of these are GREAT options! Love your blog! Thanks for all of the inspiration!!
Thanks!!! Its so simple! There’s a screw hole in the back that makes it easy for me to take down and carry to the kitchen sink and then easily hang in back up on the wall!!! XO, Aimee
Thanks Maria! I would love to come visit! XO, Aimee
