Window plant shelf windows#

It just took a couple of Grant’s nap times to get it put together and finished!. This is one of those projects that’s really straightforward and simple.

Window plant shelf windows#

So, only do it in a window that has a fair amount of privacy! We created our window plant shelf in one of the largest windows in our house, but you could do it in a small window to create a little indoor garden area too! Keep in mind that if you decide to try a project like this, you’ll have to remove the blinds from your window. It’s also a great spot for your herb garden, if you normally keep it outside! This is the perfect ledge for them to live until the weather warms back up! Plants like succulents and tropical plants can’t hang in the cold, so it’s a good idea to bring them inside. We’re only a month or so away from cold weather and the need to bring a few of my outdoor plants inside. I knew it would be the perfect solution here. I never found exactly what I was looking for done anywhere else, but I did see a few beautiful options where people had installed some sort of window shelves to display plants. So, I started doing some looking around for options that would allow us to do both. I didn’t want to have to choose if we’d use it as a bench or as a place for plants. Plus, the deep ledge makes it pretty perfect for tons of plants. I realized pretty quickly after moving in that the window wasn’t just a good seat – it’s a really great spot for plants! It’s a south-facing window so it gets really great sunlight all day long.

Plus, who doesn’t love a huge window seat?! I knew we’d use it all the time, and we do! The kids love to sit there to eat dinner, I use it regularly when I’m working on big puzzles, and it’s so nice to have it as extra seating when we have family over. One of the (many) things that made me fall in love with this house was the giant window with a deep windowsill in our dining room.
