If you’re looking for a simple and space-saving indoor garden, then you should look no further. Martha Stewart’s website offers a creative DIY on how to build a window greenhouse.

With a few shelves and plants you can add beauty and elegance to a drab window.

And before I get your hopes up too high, you will also need a window that’s deep enough to work with. You’ll likely be able to find the perfect shelving at your local hardware store. Try Home Depot or Lowes. I would recommend Lowes first. Between the two, Lowes tends to be cheaper and less congested.

Anyway, I was going to consider doing this myself (in my bedroom), but unfortunately my windows are very shallow and it won’t work.

Now for the instructions…

I won’t regurgitate the steps. I’ll just give you the link to where you can get the instructions on how to build a window greenhouse yourself. And if you ever do in fact build one, write me and send pics please and I’ll post them to the site.

If you haven’t been over to How About Orange, Jessica Jones has a wonderful and creative way for you to create your own cheap decorative curtains.

It’s one of the best ideas I’ve come across yet.

It goes something like this: buy a simple set of panels, get some fabric paint or fabric markers and go to town.

That’s it!
