Plant Stands

Do you have house plants? 

Sometimes I wish I didn't. These belonged to my mom. When my parents downsized into a retirement house, I inherited her plants. My mom really enjoyed her plants. Me? Not so much. My method is to water them infrequently and ignore them most of the time.

This isn't really about the plants but about the stands that hold them.

This is a vintage stool that I painted orange. It was in my classroom for years, stationed beside the overhead. Sometimes, I even got to sit on it.

What's funny about this is none of my teacher friends would ever sit on it. They called it torture. Now I do not have a small "bum", as Cate would say, so I guess all my extra padding made this seat comfortable for me. Plus I was always just perched on its edge. It is the perfect size for a plant.

This high chair was used by my two brothers, me, and the grandchildren. I don't know what happened to the tray. I inherited this, too, when my folks downsized. I wanted to find a way to use it, so I decided it could also hold a plant.

Isn't that a sweet picture? The high chair is 65 years old.

For those of you who are interested in plants, the Christmas cactuses cacti bloom each year, even with my negligent nurturing.


Check out this post I read just before I posted mine. I love it when I find myself thinking like another blogger.

If you have plants, how do you decorate with them?
