Couldn't Resist

Wednesday, August 28, 2013

I stopped in Ikea a few weeks back to buy a bunch of goose down pillows, seriously can't get over how affordable they are! I did a quick pit stop to look in the plant section, crossing my fingers I'd come across another forest for Fiddle Leaf Fig trees like a did at Home Depot. I mentioned before, I'd love to find another smaller fiddler for my bedroom to sit on a console table [whenever we buy one] Well, I did indeed come across another Fiddle Leaf Fig tree Forrest, they had a boatload all super green and lush. I swear I looked though the entire lot to find the smallest healthiest one I could find, and I think I did. Of course, I was so excited, I had to Instragram my find


Now in no way is my new fiddle is small and I highly doubt it would be able to fit on a console, but it looks so right for our bedroom. So far the Fiddle in my bedroom seems to be loving all the filtered sunlight coming in from our french doors throughout the day. In fact another fiddle leaf has appeared, see the almost Chartres leaf, that's a new fiddle fig leaf and its already super huge. There have been a few downsides, mostly from my curious two year old who found his way into our bedroom and tore one of the leaves apart. Cue me crying and reminding my son 'look with his eyes and not his hands.' Hopefully my new tree won't hold it against me. 


I still plan on placing the fiddle fig tree in our living room in a woven basket and like the idea of finding a large vintage pot for our bedroom fiddle. I'm going to start looking at Consignment stores and Ebay for the perfect pot. Right now, my fiddle is sitting in a plastic bag, I know so attractive, lol.




Have you bought any new house plants lately? Or found a Forrest of Fiddle Leaf Figs at Home Depot, Ikea or a your local nursery lately?

  1. I love it! I've always wanted one, but I think they're too bulky for where I want to put it in my dining room. We're suckers for the Ikea plant section. Their plants always look so green and healthy!

    1. I love Ikea's succulents and picked a Jade up the same time we got the fiddle! They're for sure bulky! That's why I was hoping to find a small one, oh well, lol :)

    1. Thanks girl! I say give it a go or try a succulent those usually thrive with very little attention and water!

  5. I just read another blog post on using plants indoors. I have a few in our living room and kitchen but no where else. Maybe I should try to incorporate them into a few more rooms in the house. I think I would like to give succulents a try. Have you had any luck with them?

    1. I love succulents, they are so easy to maintain just water weekly and leave them be!

  6. I bought another one too! My first one died. I've been keeping it outside on the deck and it's doing really well. I'll move it in once it gets cold.

  8. You are on a kick just like me! I found an actual TREE at Lowes this weekend and went today to pick another one up! I am returning my smaller ones to home depot because the ones at lowes were $49! But so worth it!

    1. That's so awesome! I haven't seen a tree FLF in real life, I can't wait to see yours! My Lowes hasn't had any that I know of, I'm so tempted to look -- but I literally have no room for my growing collection, lol

  9. I look for one everytime I go to HD or Lowe's but I don't think the midwest is hip to Fiddle Leaf Figs. Bummer.
