The terrarium we made months ago is still—miraculously—alive and well, which gives us a boost of confidence to take on slightly more ambitious planting scheme. These galvanized steel planters work both indoors and outside, offering a sleek-but-inexpensive addition to the green scheme in our little apartment.
Greenery looks great in the garden, but bringing a little bit of nature indoors as well is always a good idea. These spun aluminum, powder coated planters from LA-based Pad Outdoor look as good in the yard as they do in the living room, and are available in white, red, brown, orange, and seafoam, in addition to the bold, bright gold color shown.
Well, this is nice. Red isn't really a part of our current domestic color scheme, but somehow this bright bookshelf seems like it would work in spite—or because—of its bold hue. The powder-coated steel frame could stand up against oversized hardbacks, magazine backissues, record collections, or any number of combinations of knicks, knacks, bits and bobs, and for those without the floor space it can also be wall-mounted.
One frustrating thing about standard shelves is that they don't often accommodate for items of different heights; It's often tough to fit a vase or a few records alongside your paperbacks. This steel and sheet metal unit will allow you to display all your things together (although you might need to invest in some bookends).
If you don't have much floor or table space for plants, these colorful cubes would allow you to introduce some easy (and low maintenance) greens into your home; The powder-coated steel pots project at an angle from the wall, and are just the right size for a small succulent. Or, if you're not into growing, one would be perfect by the front door as a place to drop your keys. Available in the US at the brilliant A Plus R Store.
