One of my jobs as a kid was picking up branches. We lived on a farm with a grove of trees, so every spring we had to pick up branches off the ground so we could mow the lawn. Though the job was tedious and I always dreaded it, my dad offered us one cent for each branch we picked up as an incentive. It sounded like a great deal at the time, considering how many branches were strew around.
I love the feeling of natural elements inside a home.
Things like fur, wood, and stone create texture and warm up a place making it feel more cozy. Especially in modern, neutral spaces which can often feel sterile and cold. I love the simplicity and pure genius of using branches as decor. They are essentially free and look incredibly effortless. I see a future DIY coming your way!

I am obsessed with the idea of using branches for decorating. The picture with the branch hanging over the desk is absolute perfection. Can't wait to try something similar soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

That is one of my favorite looks as well! I'd love to see your photos when you're done!
DeleteI feel like branches could also add some masculinity (which is needed when you live with your significant other). The lights hanging from the branches in the second to last photo is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I know my guy always appreciates it when I bring the outdoors inside :)
DeleteI love this too, and really like when they're partially dipped in gold, or painted with little bands of color. Such and easy way to add a natural element to a room.
