Hanging branches, how we love thee. Let us count the ways.
We first saw this look in a bedroom featured on Emily Henderson’s blog, and wondered how we had never thought of it before! It’s simple, inexpensive and crazy versatile. In summer it’ll look like beachy driftwood, in winter like a bare frosty limb.
The best thing about this project? At most all you’ll have to do is trim some twigs and tie on string. Go for the spray paint if you’re feeling really crazy.
All this being said, hanging branches are the perfect look for the summer-to-fall transition time. Give it a try!
