apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Sacred space? Druids unite!

I like this. It adds a certain earthy element that I like but is also functional.

i've never thought of making one myself...hmmm...getting all kinds of ideas now.

the whole branch look is a sore spot for me because i was deeply in love with the manzanita piece at west elm which they discontinued before i could buy it. it's not even on their website anymore. you can see a picture of it in this link:

i love using branches in my bedroom. i save some bottles of my favorite beer and use them to display things all over my apartment. in the bedroom, i filled a bottle with different colored beads and stuck in small branches. i hang my favorite earrings on them...it looks adorable!

such a great idea -- I have long ago run out of room in my small jewelry box (which I can't do away with cause it was a gift from my hubby--one of his few successes!). Thanks!

I love this. I just put a branch up in the bathroom with my jewelry on it. Also, I needed extra clothes hanging space, so I brought a larger branch in and hung it from the ceiling. I posted in December about how I used a branch to display my grandmothers Christmas ornaments.

Recycled, and gorgeous! Great post!

I've noticed that many of the AT:NYC bloggers are using the 1st person singular. Stylebook change? I heartily endorse it.

The branches are nice, if you like that sort of thing. I think the painted ones are the most stylish.

I was thinking about doing something with branches and mini-lights as a decoration for a party I'm having later this month. Anybody done this, and got pics, or know how to do it so it doesn't fall apart? I was thinking about bundling a bunch together and weaving in a string of white lights.....

I like the painted branches, too. I was thinking of doing that as well.

All of them are awesome, especially the last one. Hmmmm...

or there are vines.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/45376228@N06/4167337081/in/set-72157622957781422/

I have some great branches hung up in a few corners of my loft for when I let my little finches out of their cage for some exercise. they love it.

I'm noticing the trend here is to pair them with whites and greens, maybe in keeping with a nature theme? I wonder how they would do against plums, greys, slates, or lavender. Expecially if the wood was dark, I think you could get a neat romantic atmosphere.

I love that Persian box on the 6th photo.

Actually after seeing those, I can use my father's crystal vase with branches. That will be very vintage. ^^

After seeing this post, I went and did it (a first for me!). Was easy, free, and looks great. Thanks!
