Last week I finished up my first window display at Anthropolgie! I used corks, string, and plants to create the look. I had to take my photos in the early morning to avoid the glare on the windows.
After taking photos of the front window, I realized I needed to adjust my spotlights a bit, but you get the idea.
Here’s are a few close-ups of the cork and moss balls I created. I think they’re pretty fun!
Early this week, I told you that I think hanging macrame plants are coming back! I actually made these plant hangers for the windows. They were easy to create and they look a little more modern than the ones from the 70’s.
Here’s a closer view of the string I used.
I took this last picture from inside the window. I think all the layers makes it a really fun photo.
I wish I could provide tutorials for the cork balls and plant hangers, but unfortunately I am not allowed too. But, I think there is a definite possibility that I’ll make some plant hangers for my own home. So, I’ll fill you in on the details of that project when I get to it! (that is if you like the macrame plant holders) 🙂
Those cork string things are ridiculously cool. What an awesome effect they have! And the moss/cork balls rock, too! How do you come up with these things?!!? Amazing! Congratulations!!
Where did you get that many corks? I’ve been saving corks for a year and I’m not even close!
Love the display! Bummer you can’t share tutorials. Maybe one of your lovely readers will figure it out on there own, then you could share that project right? 😉
The window looks great, Kara!
I’m thinking about trying to make one of the plant hangers like the Roost one you showed in the last post from Apartment Therapy. I love the ones you made, too, and the cork/moss balls are awesome!
I swear everything you touch is gold!! 🙂 I love everything about this window. So freakin cool!!
I love it.. oh you have the dream job… just lovely

What a fabulous window display using found materials – very creative. I’m constantly amazed at the decorations in Anthropologie and have done a few posts on the ones I’ve seen at the Toronto store.
Thanks for the compliments ladies! I do love this job. . . I am very thankful for it. 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you make Cait!
Jenny- I am sure I could feature someone else’s idea of how we made the cork balls! 🙂 Let me know if you plan on trying it!
Rachelle- I had some major help gathering the corks- I could have never collected that many on my own!
Fabulous! I was in the store the other day, and everything looks amazing! I love the shutter wall. The detail that I especially loved was the paper flowers on the back of the central wall. Can you show us how to do those? I’m collecting ideas for my daughter’s wedding (low budget, lots of DIY) and I think those flowers could be really fun incorporated into wedding decor.
Where in the world did you find all of those CORKS!! I’m drooling over them…
Lisa, check my newest post for a DIY link. The flowers are different but hopefully it will help you with the wedding decor! 🙂
Sarah, Anthro has the hook up when it comes to corks. I never could have gotten that many on my own. I wish I did know where I could find tons of corks- that’s a lotta wine!
Love it! The moss and cork combo is so unexpected. It looks like you had a lot of fun. Great work!!
love the cork…and especially dying them!
Wow, Kara! Love the window display. It is so simple, yet intricate. I especially love the planters, my grandmother had one growing up and I love that they are making a comeback. Great job!!
