This is Deanna’s house. She shares her vintage style and love for plants on Instagram @habitpattern.sf. I needto visit her home someday (for obvious reasons) but I’m sharing this picture today because I LOVE this tension rod (similar to this one or this one) she uses to display her hanging plants. It’s perfect for someone in an apartment or temporary living situation.

I need to hibernate. Curl up in a blanket with only my eyes peeking out. Rub my feet together and not think about anything.

This photo is from @tribeandus. I have a total crush on them. Their house is so amazing and their little family is SO CUTE! In their bedroom, they’ve used S hooks to hang macrame plant hangers on everything from existing light fixtures to hung wall art. It’s a great way to hang plants without putting too many holes in your walls. They also just started a blog tribeandus.com with plant DIYs and Inspiration!

Bedroom love! Man I wish I could get back in this bed! The Twins suck at sleeping at the mo! ??#eveSleepFeeling

Shay shares her craftiness and her plant obsession at @stitchandtape. I love what she did here by using the plant’s own macrame hanger as a trellis of sorts. It looks like the plant is growing up and right back down! Shay also uses S hooks on her curtain rod to hang these plants. Easy peasy!

At some point I’ll need to start installing ceiling hooks so I can actually open my curtains. How do all my IG plant peeps water their long tangled hanging goodness?? #whatshanginwednesday

Welcome to my home! This hanging shelf is something I had my husband build for me. AND I LOVE IT! It took an afternoon and some time to hang it but that’s it! It’s just unfinished wood but the plants will eventually cover it up 🙂Check out this video to see how to make it!

This is my most favorite view in my house. AND the sun is out today so I’m just happy ? • • • #foliage #plants #houseplants #houseplantclub #greenthumb #indoorplants #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #oregon #portland #oregonblogger #plantlife #plantlove #plantsoninstagram #plantstagram #plantgang #plantlover #plantsmakepeoplehappy #interiorrewilding #botanicalpickmeup

Morgan from @plantingpink has done something so simple here but I love it! She took two macrame plant hangers and hung them on the same hook. That’s it! It makes for a fun grouped together look that you can always switch out from time to time.

I am traveling for work this week and hoping my plants back home are hanging in there. ? #whatshanginwednesday #houseplantclub #houseplants #hangingplants #urbanjunglebloggers #plantlady #plantscout #plantsmakepeoplehappy #interiorrewilding #botanical #botanicalpickmeup

Laney from @pineandbirch makes really amazing, quality wood signs. In this picture I love how she’s hung a leather planter from a coat rack. It’s such a fun way of displaying plants in your entryway.

Another peek from the new summer sign line ?? This is the mudcloth design in a 12″x12″ size ??I’m loving raw natural wood right now. It just has a light, simple feeling to me. These signs will also be available with a fun new hanger that I’ll share with you later today. The signs can hang from it or from the frame with the hanger tucked away. The new hangers are fun! I think your gonna like them ☺️?? . . . #summercollection #naturalwood #modernhomedecor #walldecor #mudclothsign #houseplantclub #myeclecticmix #bohodecor

Jeannie Phan is an illustrator and a plant lover. She shares her plant love and decor on Instagram @studioplants. I love how she mixes a bright white modern looking home with plants housed in vintage baskets (similar to this one). In this photo she hangs vintage baskets on the wall with vining plants like philodendrons.

I give Waldek all the points for tolerating all my rearranging of the green fam for a staged shoot. Because this usually means total chaos and pots placed. Just. Everywhere. If only you could see what was cropped off frame ? You’d see the couch pushed against our fridge and me doing a squat in a corner trying to get the widest view. And don’t get me started about being at the mercy of the day’s weather forecast ☁???? #studioplantsindoors

Sabrina has an awesome Instagram account full of beautiful plants. This picture in particular made me stop scrolling and go back. I’ve always been a fan of exposed beams. There is something very industrial about them that I love and when I saw that she hung plants from one, I was like, WHAT?! It just looks so cool. She used hook lag bolts to hang her macrame plant hangers.

@theoperatingsystemis one of my favorites to follow on Instagram. Olena has an eye for fancy foliage and really proves that in her photography. She’s in a NY apartment and finds brilliant ways to hang and display her hugeplant collection. Here she’s using a coat rack (I believe) to hang her plant hangers. It’s a great idea especially if you live in a place where you can’t put holes in the walls or ceiling.

Happy Easter/Sunday Funday! ???
