Working with nature inside the home.



Dried Branches, Berries and Greenery
Inside the Home

I've used items that I have pulled from the outside for decorating purposes-inside. Years ago I used two large tree branches as railings in the basement. See below:



I also used an old tree stump as a planter.

I have several photos below showing the use of vines, berries and branches around the house. Thank you Cristen F. for providing the photos. She's done a great job of using nature to decorate around frames, mirrors, windows and furniture. Check it out....

Not all of these items are available in your back yard, but you can find them in your local craft store.

  1. Hi Cristy, thank you for posting these. Honestly, I like classic wooden furniture. They bring the beauty of Nature and Mother Earth inside our homes. This is another way of "going green" regardless what theme we may have for the home design. A home is never really a "home" not unless you include something living like plants and/or plan products. The pictures reminded me of my home. Thanks!

  3. I just think it's amazing how simple details can give your room an extra boost.. This is a really nice idea and I appreciate you for sharing it. If we want to stick to a theme adding an extra something will do... :)
