Thrifty wall decor.

If you’re the crafty type (which sometimes I am) this is an idea that you might like to try. As seen on the lovely and delightful Design Files Daily this is from a tour of Tara Pearce’s home. The comment and only instructions read:

“It’s just pieces of butchers paper, woven through a circle of chicken wire, spraypainted yellow!  Do not ask me how.  Amazing.”

Good luck with that. It’s just as visually impressive as a Juju hat, a fraction of a fraction of the cost, and possibly more culturally sensitive? Does anyone know their origins?

Boxed garden.

I love Remodelista. Following my previous post on those plant boxes here are more design options via Remodelista for window variety garden boxes. Sure these aren’t available here in Oz, but it’s still good to see more examples. I want to line up a heap of these in my yard.

Sources: Both via Remodelista. Pine Window Box is unfinished for you to paint as desired (Jamali Garden, $36 - $54). Teak Windowboxes already beautifully finished (Gardeners Supply Company, $55.95 - $137).
