I've been on a planting kick lately. So far it has only extended to outdoor plants (more on that project later!) but I would love to extend my green thumb to indoor projects as well. This Boxcar Planter from Urbillis has definitely caught my eye, especially . . .

I'm always interested to see what takes off on Kickstarter, and what doesn't. The Jack planter above seems like something that should be super successful. It's playing to the MCM vibe, filling a market that is relatively untapped (outdoor modern planters) and is reasonably priced. What's more, the campaign seems very transparent in that the majority of the money is going straight to the people actually building the things. Last and not least, they only need $6,200 to be funded. That's not much for a kickstarter campaign. Sadly so far it has only received $1,400 of funding and it only has 7 days left.
Love it? Support it.
If you don't think it should be funded, let us know why in the comments.
"Fashioned by" was formed in 2011 as a collaboration between Farrah Sit and Dana D'Amico who met in 2005 and together designed for Calvin Klein Home. Rooted in a shared design philosophy and common aesthetic, Farrah and Dana have created a collection reflecting honesty to materials and a timeless, minimalistic beauty.
What I love about the collection most is the thoughtful materials used. The porcelain hanging pots come with a vegetable tanned leather strap and antique brass fastener. The desk items have a similarly strong set of materials. Leather, walnut, ash, brass, porcelain, you just can't go wrong.
A bit like a swing for your plants, these hanging A-frame planters from Poketo are surely unique. Made from Ipe wood and "deadstock military cotton strapping", these planters would look great indoors or out (if you're luck enough to have a porch)!
OK, so I'll be the first to admit that I have absolutely no idea what "spun aluminum" means, but apparently that is what these little guys are made of. What I do know is that they come in 4 lovely colors (orange, white, turquoise and mustard) and that because they are made of metal, they will last a lifetime.
Most planters I see like this fall somewhere in the $150+ range, so seeing these new ceramic planters from West Elm for $70 and $80 is pretty fantastic. Plus, they have such great, modern shapes. I'll take one of each, please!
Ceramic Planters from West Elm: $70 - $80
