What you ask?
Tree branches.
Yes, tree branches. She had a tall cylinder glass with even taller brown tree branches in various sizes. Why was I drooling? Because I've desperately been trying to find something "living" to put in my apartment. I have a serious aversion to ugly office type green plants that look generic and unwelcoming.
Gross.
I try and buy flowers at least once every two weeks, and put them in my bedroom, and on my coffee table. Like so...
However, I want something that is more low maintenance, like Danielle's branches.
This is where I need your help. Any recommendations on how to add a living element to my NYC apartment? Here is some current inspiration.
Branches Inspiration
Flower inspiration -- because they do look so pretty.
Fake flowers? Not completely sold on the idea yet. Any recommendations for how to use them?
I think for now I'm hung up on incorporating branches into my place...somewhere.
Also, don't forget to enter my Heartfish Press giveaway -- winner will be announced Friday!

Get some succulents or something. Those bad boys are SO low maintenance it isn't even funny!
I love the tree branches--I think they'll look great in your apartment!
Succulents are a great idea, so low maintenance and add a perfect bit of green. Also love the idea of branches. Adds good height.
Agree with Alex, both are lovely options! Bummed I missed your get together with Danielle, next time! :)
Love the branches but bright flowers are always great too. Hit up a crafty store for inspiration too :)
Branches...genius! I know what you mean, sometimes plants just don't look so chic. Sad! And flowers can get pricey. Love the look of the branches in the various cylinders! Even one or a pair would be so cool.
I love tree branches right now! I'm thinking a tall floor-vase with a skinny mouth and tree branches sticking out of it. Keep us posted on what you decide :) xo
Love all these pretty inspiration! I'm not very keen on fake flowers either.
Succulents can be really nice as suggested and you can place them in very interesting dishes. I have typical houseplants from Ikea but I've tried to place them in pretty pots. Found objects like vintage milk crates look great too!
Get a rubber tree! They resemble more of a dark green shiny bush than a tree but they're super hardy. Good luck and whatever you do, don't try your hand at an Orchid! I can never make those things stay alive.
The branches are a great idea. I got a vase with something pre-planted from Anthropologie that I love (clearly I do not have a green thumb)! For as much as I don't water it, the plant still looks great. It can't hurt to check your Anthro out. And it was only like $25 for the vase + plant.

I would love to put a tree in my apartment! But bella might eat it, I would stick to flowers. I absolutely love the inspiration you have!! saving this! I really need to redecorate and upgrade the decor in my apt! thanks for the motivation! x
I'm going to have to try some of these comments as well, I definitely do not have a green thumb!
