“3 little terrariums, sittin’ on a ledge”
The terra-love continues on GDG. These recycled light bulb creations are by Juliette Melton, who has graciously shared her DIY recipe and is also available for commissioned projects. If you’re in San Francisco, her clever Tiny Terras are available at Modern Eden, though I bet they won’t last long. I’d personally scoop up at least three of them at once — pronto.
The New York Times story I posted earlier on the popularity of terrariums [aka vivariums], inspired me to have a look around at the different designs currently available. It’s no surprise that the clean and modern lines of these Danish Terrariums caught my eye.
These terra-beauties are “crafted from mouth-blown glass” with a “solid paulowina wood base & spherical wooden top.” Paulownia is a fast-growing tree that has proven to be quite beneficial when used in reforestation efforts in its native China. I love the added warmth of the wood in these styles, compared to the all clear glass models that seem to be more readily available, though I’d definitely make exceptions for these + these recycled chic pieces.

With the popular “bring the outdoors in” concept and the ongoing nature trend in home décor, I’ve been seeing all kinds of terrariums pop up over the last couple of years. You know they’ve hit a peak in popularity when even the New York Times is featuring them. I positively love their slideshow, mini terrarium peeps included!
