We have a little wall niche between two bedroom doors in our upstairs hallway. It used to have a phone jack in it. We don’t even have a land line (we use our cells exclusively) so I ripped it out and filled the holes with wood filler. Then I repainted it semi-gloss white like the rest of the trim upstairs.

I wanted it to be a pretty spot but I couldn’t really sit anything in it because the kids or the cats would likely knock it down in two seconds. I finally decided to make this mini hanging planter. I originally wanted to make a large hanging planter to hang over by the window but thought this would be more fun.

It’s a pretty easy DIY, just takes a little patience (which is usually all I have). You can find lots of macrame/hanging planter tutorials on the net so I won’t go into details. I did adjust my lengths since this is a small planter compared to others. I used cotton rope I found at Lowe’s. I added some succulents but need to go pick up a few more since the bowls aren’t quite full enough. I hung them with a little gold cup hook.

Do you love the hanging planter trend? Macrame trend? I'm leaning toward yes ;-) Be sure to pop over to the blog and check out the sneak peek of my hallway makeover!
