If you are a plant mama, then I know you could use this shopping guide for modern planters.
Can I be honest and say that I’ve been trying NOT to do any shopping. Trying is definitely the key word here. But, I clocked in last month with spending $0 on home decor which is pretty amazing for me.
When I’m constantly tweaking our house or working on renovations, I’m always looking for inspiration. Inspiration can come in many different forms (blogs, Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, outside, home decor sites, etc.). Anyways, I really wasn’t shopping BUT there are just so many amazing planters on the market right now that I had to link up a few for you guys!
Shopping Guide For Modern Planters
I’m always on the hunt for fun planters and I’m always looking for things that COULD be planters. Do you remember when I posted about my favorite Target items to use as planters?
I’m mentioning that because I get asked quite a bit about my planters.
Small Modern Planters
Small planters are pretty easy to find most anywhere and, really, you can make most ceramic pieces a planter; even if that’s not the intention for its original use.
But, sometimes, you just want to buy something and use it as it’s intended, right?
I know that’s how I feel anyways.
So, here are my favorite planters that I’ve seen this season.

March 3, 2017 at 9:20 pmI was literally just looking up modern plant stands before catching up on blog posts in my feed reader! Good timing. Love your picks!

March 5, 2017 at 6:38 amLooks great! How do you deal with the planters that do not have holes for drainage? I am always reluctant to purchase because I am afraid that it will end up killing my plants.
Ashley Mayes says
March 7, 2017 at 9:27 amGood question! Two different ways actually. If it’s a larger pot then I put rocks in the bottom and the rocks help with the drainage. If it’s smaller, I drill a small hole with a ceramic drill bit tip and then go a bit larger with the hole to give it a drainage hole.

March 27, 2017 at 3:30 pmHey Ashley, OK…inquiring minds want to know…how long does it take you to water your plants each week? You have some lovely ones, and it looks like they are well tended.
And what great planters you’ve gathered. I probably need to spend a little more time choosing planters…you’ve given me inspiration.
Thanks, Lynn

I’m so lazy with my watering! I empty my son’s water bottle from school everyday into a different pot. Other than that, if something is looking dry then I water. But, I definitely don’t do it on a schedule.

March 31, 2017 at 10:34 pmGreat guide. For some reason last summer I was super into macrame plant hangers. I think I have 5 now.

April 2, 2017 at 2:50 pmThat’s hilarious! I have one or two and I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making a few but I haven’t gotten around to it.
