What a lovely idea.

love it. the fixtures holding it in place offer a really nice industrial contrast, too. i wonder how strong the branch needs to be? it might be really beautiful in a larger scale, too... thanks for the idea!

I actually have a branch that's very similar! It was part of a much longer limb from a dead tree that was pulled down in my apartment complex a couple of years ago. That particular branch just seemed to 'speak' to me (okay, okay, yeah - I'm from California! ;->) so I drug it home. I had part of it cut off so I could use the longer part in my garden, and I've been saving that smaller piece for who knew what. Maybe now I know! These apartments don't have coat closets, either so...

this is a great idea. my mom always rescues fallen branches. her current obsession is using them as curtain rods and they look awesome, but it cant be a pain getting the curtains to hang right

I love this idea! I have seen images of this DIY concept here and there in design magazines, and it just looks eco-fabulous... oh to be créatif avec la nature!

How is this attached?

Fly decals? That's disgusting.
