You've seen my 2012 to-do list for the house, but I thought I'd also start on a list of items I'd like to pick up throughout the year as well.

Great choices, all. I've always thought the Noguchi cyclone table deserves more attention than it gets. It's one of my favorites. I love those terrariums. I'll have to check them out. Have you seen the air plant terrariums by seaandasters on Etsy? I really like those too.
ReplyDeleteGo out and find your own glass. Bowood farms in the CWE has a very thorough amout ot terrarium supplies. The last two i made were from a 5 gallon glass jug from an antique mall and another from a beer growler from a brewery.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2, both of them, are also on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI always believe the old cliche- be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. ( :
Dana - The Cyclone is amazing, but I'll take anything similar. Right now I have a cheapo craftsman-style pub table/chair set in the kitchen and it doesn't really fit in with the space. I actually saw the air plants/terrariums on your blog and really liked them. Now I need a few of my own :)
ReplyDeleteJohn - Thanks for the tip! I'll go have a look at Bowood sometime. Are they fairly inexpensive? I'm looking for something with an interesting shape.
Lo-tech - Love them both, so I wouldn't be too disappointed if I ended up with too many kitchen tables (as if that can happen).
Bowood has the plants and the soil, its resonable.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out Screaming MiMi's in Maplewood. My friends just opened the shop this past weekend. Kate makes terrariums and they are VERY reasonable... They have air plants too!! Plus, you could grab your girlfriend a great Valentine present while you are there!! :)
