I’ve been worrying about indoor air quality because we just bought some new shelves from IKEA for the nursery (particle board can offgas). Houseplants are a great solution because they dramatically improve air quality. So, yesterday I bought a bamboo palm and a boston fern, two plants that have superior air cleaning capabilities, at the Plant Shed on the Upper West Side. I caught this great image over at Design*Sponge thanks to a tip from Joanna. The large leafy tree is a fig plant, which require bright light. PS My thesis is due on the 28th!!!!!!

That’s my dream studio. I’ll have to bookmark this. It’s almost exactly what I had in my head. (with a few dress forms ofcourse) Thanks!
Fiddle leaf fig trees are my favorite! I had a great one that I had to leave back home when we moved…I need to get and out find another here. But living in the tropics, I fret about those little bugs that sometimes like very humid, hot houseplants…any advice on those guys?
Best of luck with your thesis!
Awesome photo…good luck with your writing!!
I love the idea of plants in the nursery. I’m going to get one for the baby’s table. I think her room could use a little green anyway. Hope you are hanging in there with the thesis!!
You can do it Abbey! The timely completion of your thesis that is.
As a former graduate student, I know how hard the last push can be but think of the bliss once you are done. What an accomplishment!
Keep up the good work.
Beautiful – it really adds a breathe of fresh air.
wow those figs are amazing. I could see like ferns and scented geraniums too.
Good luck on the thesis!
