Simple, Modern Trellis Idea for the Garden

We've been on the hunt for simple garden ideas and also for some modern garden blogs to really sink our teeth into. While on the search we came across 2 things we loved: this idea for an uber modern (and very simple to put together) trellis and a garden blog that really gets us going:

What we love about the trellis is that it would be an easy on to install on a balcony or in a small space to help provide privacy without some bulky wood latticework. You could probably even rig something like this canopy on a balcony. And we love that finding this post brought us to Nest in Style: A Practical Guide For the Modern Garden, a blog that highlights simple advice for growing flowers, vegetables, making compost, simple diy's etc. We're going to keep it bookmarked and dive in this weekend. Does anyone have a garden blog that they absolutely love and want to share?

I did this for both honeysuckle and grape vines. I didn't use cabled wire, I just used a heavy gauge wire and cut it myself. The eye screws were secured into wood, a wood fence for one, and a wooden arbor for the other. I ran the wire both vertically and horizontally. On one I twisted the wire where it crossed, the other one I didn't bother. They are both working out fine. One of them has been up for nearly 10 years.
