Living in the Midwest, the idea of having an outdoor chandelier is usually reserved for those with secured and water-tight porches and overhangs. But what if you used a discarded chandelier for a whole new purpose? A hanging garden perhaps? And who said it had to be hung outside? Certainly not us!
We love the idea of this high flying planter and although it doesn't hold much in the way of plants, it should hold at least one per shade. The look could be completed with long hanging vines or bright and cheery flowering options. Either way we think it's an idea well worth filing away for later use.
Aside from using it outside instead of troublesome lighting when bad weather strikes, we think the idea could also be used inside as well. How fun would it be to have one hang down on each side of your bed? A few above your dining room table? It makes your next trip to the thrift store or ReStore all that more entertaining!

I love the idea, but as a garden freak, I can tell you that those little cups don't leave you enough room for larger plants. (Those dark-leaf sweet potato vines are going to be NOT happy here very shortly!) You could do some cool things with smaller-scale plants, though...
Actually, the sweet potato vines are quite happy! The cups might appear smaller than they actually are.
Thanks for sharing my project!
I think this is a great idea aswell, I have a chandelier in my garage waiting for me to use it. I was just wondering how you would stop the plants from drying out?
