indoor flora

We recently did a little makeover on our patio and my favorite part of working on it was most definitely picking out plants to hang.  They make me so happy.  

Now that I've realized how much I love having some greenery of our own outside, I'm thinking I need to bring it inside soon.  These are just some of the ways I'm crazy about displaying them- some plants in the corner, on the table, and even in the shower (a bit odd, but maybe my favorite?!)  

Now for a confession: I have kind of a black thumb, so I'll be doing my research on plants that are easy to care for, starting with this article from Free People.  I'm thinking I'll have to start a search for some Philodendron - aka the plant they say can survive even the worst gardener!

Love, love, LOVE this darling chalkboard display from A Girl In Transit.  I don't actually read her blog (yet) but I found this photo on Pinterest linked there, and I thought it was such a genius idea!  If you really got creative with your chalk drawing - something as simple and impactful as the above passes as art in my book - you could constantly switch it up!  I'm always swooning over a new word or phrase I've seen lately in a book or on a blog, and this appeals to me as something you can keep fresh.  Also, I haven't looked into it yet but I'm guessing you can pick up a simple chalkboard like this for around $10 from stores like Hobby Lobby, yes?  Let's all go see, and start getting creative (and inspiring!) with our "art."
