How to put plants at base of trees? - I was told it would not work. I have two 8 ft trees on either side of fireplace and because they are tall they look empty at the bottom. How can I get the look you have here with plants at bottom? the watering is different for each plant. »

marlie graves Of course you can put smaller plants at the base of trees. Use nice full plants, 6" size probably, with deep plastic saucers to hold them, and set them on top of the soil of your trees. Get enough to fill the space. Now you can water the trees (lift a smaller plant up to reach the tree's soil) and the small plants individually.

hurstsa Thank you. I appreciate your info for future. I decided to stack large pinecones spaced well and sprinkled pieces of colorful dried flowers in and under the pinecones. I water the trees thru a watering tube so this worked well and I don't have to worry about the smaller plants dying when I am travel. Thank you.

sarita020 Hello there; from what I can see that's a custom made job. Try www.mahoganydoorshonduras.com; they did for me a custom entrance and it was a nice experience. You can also find them on this same site under the Professionals Tab under the name "Mahogany de Honduras". Good luck!

Island Architects Yes the trees are figs. The floor is antique Parfieulle tiles and the fireplace is carved travertine from Unique Stone Imports in San Diego. The iron doors are from a San Diego iron fabricator.

Jill Mc I wanted to put some of these iron windows in our new house that we are just finishing up building. Very expensive.....about $10,000 a window. Wish we could have afforded it. They are so beautiful!

Jill Mc The company we got a quote from is located in Ventura, CA. I believe their name was "Rivera".

lindamarie1 Okay, I'll have a look. Thank you.
I have just put some Acadia White up and in this room it is too white, not enough color, I need a tinge more.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Laura Fenton to Rooting for Indoor Trees
Ficus are a common indoor tree, and here you can see what they look like when they have matured to extreme heights. Paired with a wall of paned glass, these ficus trees give an almost outdoor feeling to this dining space.
added by Laura Gaskill to Tile Floors Help a Hot Home Chill Out
Create a courtyard feel indoors. Use rough-hewn stone tile in a dining room with access to the outdoors to blend the border between house and garden.Read more about stone tile
