I have talked about a lot of different types of rustic accessories to use throughout the home and your outdoor living space. There are all types from colorful pillows and throws to candles, wall art and glass vases. The list of accessories is endless and will allow you to add personality and charm to your home. Another big accessory that I think is a must have for homes are plants and flowers. Not only do plants and flowers add color, but they also add life to a room. Just like when you are shopping for the perfect pillow for you space, your choices and variety are endless when it comes to plants and flowers. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

I love plants, but I will admit, I just do not have a green thumb. In fact, typically when I try to grow plants I usually kill them. I will try so hard to care of a plant, and almost inevitably I will kill the poor little guy.

Lately my husband has been giving me flower arrangements. I guess he picked up on the fact that my thumb is far from green. But, yesterday he decided to give me another chance with a new plant.

Accessories Your Rustic Furniture

A long time ago while we were still dating he wanted to add some life to my Rustic Furniture Pro office with a plant. He bought me a Ponytail Palm and mailed it to me while he was busy outside of the country. I instantly fell in love with that Ponytail Palm and I thought my Rustic Furniture Pro office would be the perfect home for my new plant!

I took the plant there and cared for it and sure enough it began to grow. These plants can live for quite a long time and can grow to somewhere around five feet tall. My intentions were to grow this plant up and have it for years to come. Well, one day I was watering my palm and the whole trunk began disintegrating. I mean it completely fell apart right in front of me, and I was devastated.  

Well, yesterday my husband shows up to work with none other than a new plant in a very colorful vase. It is perfect for my office and I love the punch of color the vase provides. The yellow looks great up against the rustic furniture.  I think it is the perfect addition to my desk and my husband made sure that this plant was easy to maintain and did not need direct sunlight. So, here goes to another attempt to raise a plant. I currently am trying to grow two avocado trees at my home. So far, they are two seeds in glasses of water…

So, if you are looking for an easy way to add some color and live to your living space, think about accenting your rustic furniture with some beautiful plants! Wishing you all great success!
