    Pot Your Plants In Something Pretty!

    Amber Fijolek on Jul 12, 2009 5:08 AM PDT
    It's the little things that make a house a home. To make us happy, we put things we like in our homes -- like lighting, art and throw pillows. Plants are one of those home-warming articles that are essential. Having a bit of green in every room is a great way to keep some fresh energy flowing in from the outdoors. So if plants make us feel comfortable in our homes, why shouldn't our ferns and cacti feel comfortable in their homes? While the living, breathing creatures we keep in the picture window and on the coffee table don't voice their opposition to the plain, rust-colored clay pots, it's hard to not appreciate some prettier planter alternatives. Even better, a plant that's outgrown its living quarters is really just a great excuse find a replacement -- and perhaps even a new room motif to match! Especially now that your houseplants have the opportunity to see their wild, un-potted cousins of summer thrive outside through the windows, it's important to give the aloes and orchids of the inside a little love as to not feel jealous. Enjoy these slideshow picks for some fun accents to your green-filled abode!

    Make a green statement with these adorable and quirky baby plants in a capsule! Offered by Strapya-World, these baby plants are easy to grow and maintain and you can customize and personalize to really make it your own. Simply plant a tiny seedling in a capsule, screw the top on and water it once or twice a month. Soon you will see your own seedling growing and you can care for it and show it of at all times since it hangs from a pretty strap from your cell phone. You can also choose to have a "marimo," a special fuzzy moss ball that is believed to have healing qualities, in a capsule along with your birthstone! Really be eco-chic and choose the "Vitro-Capsule," a small plant grown in a Bio-fertilizer that comes in pretty pastel colors. Once your pet plant starts to get a little bigger, simply take it out and replant it into your garden or a flower pot. Share a special bond with your pet plant and give Mother Earth something to smile about too! At an affordable $5.00 and up, you can get a few for yourself, or give it as a unique and relevant gift.


    Price: $5.00 USD and up
    Who Found It: Idabone was first to add the Strapya-World Baby Mobile Garden to the Hive.

    Hive 5: Cute Kitchen Goodies That Work!

    image
    Sydel Sakuma on Aug 21, 2008 7:57 PM PDT
    A pan is a pan, but why shouldn't it also be a too-cute panda face? Where most people go for function, I know that if I'm going to be looking at something, it should at the very least be cute, really cute. Showing off your charming personality through some unique and unexpected pieces in the home can definitely transform a living space, but for some reason people forget about the kitchen. I don't mean hanging plants or buying a whole new counter top; people forget that kitchenware can be both functional and kitschy. Plasticland makes a pair of oh-so-delightful vintage inspired poodle salt and pepper shakers and Wishing Fish makes a super sweet strawberry tea kettle. So cute that you will dump your solid colored ones to make room for these. Check out my favorite adorable pieces of kitchenware, that, by the way, also get the job done, in my slideshow!
