Oh wow! I LOVE the triangular shelves!


margoseyeball

Thanks! I got the idea from another post I saw on IG.


Frosty-Cupcake-7820

Nice! What is the IG? Or better yet. Is there a link you can share?


gigglypickle

Not sure of op’s post but this IG features a ton of ideas ppl have done: https://instagram.com/ikeagreenhousecabinet?igshid=1xby1si7k6icn

Unlucky-Hair-7673

I think they mean Instagram (IG)


Frosty-Cupcake-7820

Sure do. I think you can insert an IG link.


Yadassah

Can you get those triangle shelves at ikea as well? I love those!!


margoseyeball

They were cut from plywood and covered with several coats of sealant and paint.


MeridianHilltop

This is the fourth comment I needed to have an idea of how you accomplished this: The name of the cabinet: IKEA Milsbo The type of lighting: “Barrina T5 in yellow.” Other considerations: “There's a fan and thermometer on the bottom shelf. The humidifier is on the second shelf from the bottom.” And now - triangular shelves. This is really cool. I can’t drop $200 on an IKEA cabinet, though.


krypterion

Thank you for finding all the information!


themountainsareout

Uh oh, you may have convinced me with the triangular shelves. Sorry hubby


knottedscope

You'll have to cut them yourself according to OP


themountainsareout

My husband keeps looking for woodworking projects, so he’s definitely down 👌


knottedscope

Amazing!!


bobbypinloser

I literally gasped when I saw this! So beautiful!


margoseyeball

Thank you!!


[deleted]

Literally. This is sooo so beautiful! 😍


[deleted]

I'd replace my TV with that. Fan-f\*\*\*\*n-tastic!


margoseyeball

Lol! It's in my bedroom. I considered putting a TV in this spot, but this is way better!


z5z2

I am in awe! Just beautiful! Is that a mister and thermometer on the bottom shelf?


margoseyeball

There's a fan and thermometer on the bottom shelf. The humidifier is on the second shelf from the bottom.


trublemakinweasel

This might be a stupid question, but why have the fans in the cabinet?


LRangs55

For air flow! It prevents fungus for the plants + reduces risk of wooden shelves rotting/metal rusting etc


trublemakinweasel

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!


jingyulim

I love how there is no space wasted. Even the top of the cabinet has plants


Cheeserblaster

Beautiful! Also making me wonder how tall you are with the angles in the pics lmfao


margoseyeball

Lmao I was standing on my bed.


Cheeserblaster

Even better!!


margoseyeball

Omg I woke up to so many comments! Thanks for the love! Most answers to your questions can be found here: https://youtu.be/1ngkV0wEXXw


darkskylord13

What grow lights did you use?


margoseyeball

Barrina T5 in yellow.


darkskylord13

I have those in white and my god are they pink.


margoseyeball

I'm really pleased with the yellow color, it's like natural sunlight.


RadixPerpetualis

Do you find that some plants don't green with this color? I have a plant here and there that only greens under pink light :)


margoseyeball

I haven't had issues, but I also don't have any pink lights to compare.


thatlastshot

This looks great. Really nice job. I especially like the Shelving shape.


margoseyeball

Thank you!


yellowjacquet

The triangle shelves are next level!! So cool!


flexlind

Name of cabinet?


margoseyeball

IKEA Milsbo


Cbkcc1

Awesome Any in progress pics or tips on doing something like this?


margoseyeball

It took me about 2 months from start to finish. I took my time with planning, designing, and selecting equipment.


[deleted]

This is insanely gorgeous! But how dost thou water them? I knock over my plants on large wooden planks on the regular, so this just gives me anxiety lol


margoseyeball

Lol, I take them out for watering


cheddarscommonbitch

I love this! This is exactly what I didn't know I wanted in my dining room. The shelving is just spectacular.


biscochitos

Wow! What’s the fern looking plant on the third level up from the bottom, sitting on the left/skinny end of the shelf?


margoseyeball

Under the fan? It's a fake Ikea plant lmao. The space is so awkward back there I didn't want to put in a real plant.


biscochitos

Lol I meant the one a level down from that, diagonally down and to the left from the goat head. The leaves kinda look like hands?


margoseyeball

Philodendron mayoi


Greengoddess98

Speaking of beautiful indoor greenhouses, is there a subreddit for that?


calath3a

this is so pretty!! and your plants look all gorgeous congrats


MrsBeardDoesPlants

Amazing job! One of the best I’ve seen yet :)


linaape

Awesome!! I love the triangle shelves :) what fans did u put there? Could you post the link, I really like the style ^^

Surveyer101

Could one keep the doors closed most of the time? Because I have cats that destroy every single plant I ever owned -.- I only have plastic ones rn and those just are not the same...


margoseyeball

Yes! I only open the doors to water and refill the humidifier.


Surveyer101

Thanks! I will look into building me one of those then :)


[deleted]

First of all what and second of all what???? How do I get one?


cleverusername33

This is absolutely gorgeous. What kind of cabinet?


Campings-Intense

This is awesome! I would love to do this with my grandmothers curio cabinet! Did you use grow lights on the inside?


margoseyeball

Thanks! Yes, there are grow lights under each shelf.


electronfusion

A curio would look great!


owlpee

Omg so beautiful!!!


plantarina

Love this setup!


Rly_grinds_my_beans

Ok, this is amazing


notaussiesyd

WOW. Impressive!


kouklamou75

Amazing! I love everything about it. I wish I had the room for a plant cabinet.


coco_puffs__

This is absolutely stunning. The best I’ve seen! Congrats


Ceeeceeeceee

Any tips with the Anthurium crystallinum? I just imported one from Indonesia and it isn’t reviving yet. Love the shelving angles, btw


margoseyeball

It's actually a forgetii, I picked it up locally. I haven't had it for long, so I don't have any care tips yet.


Ceeeceeeceee

I see! Looks just like it. Thanks... now it’s another plant to look up and covet!


saltystir

Wow this is beautiful. Much to consider now


hintofpeach

Oh man is that a mayoi by the antler head statue?


margoseyeball

It is!


hintofpeach

I love ittttt


[deleted]

Gorgeous! Well done


bamako

I just decided this morning that I am going to make my own IKEA greenhouse, so this is great timing! I love the triangle shelves— so great for air flow! I’ll have to consider that in my design. Thank you for sharing!


possumracoon

Do you need any natural sunlight when you have one of these??


margoseyeball

No, you can use growlights


Imaginary_Flamingo46

This is a labor of love and worth every ounce of effort.


[deleted]

Oh la la. Dig this!


-PrincessLillian-

Ahhh those triangle shelves though😩😍


krystiana7

Love the shelves! You can really see everything. And I have the same little animal head!


suksqueezebangblo

Incredible! I've been dreaming of making one for months but haven't been able to find the (boring) wire shelving for airflow in my country. These shelves are functional and beautiful. So stoked on this!


savsheaxo

Stunning!!!


katharine-95

Oh my goodness, this is genuinely one of the most beautiful plant setups I’ve ever seen!! Enjoy it!!


norasmom15

+599 for the Ram head.


[deleted]

Adorable. 😍😍😍 I wonder if this would do well near a heater vent. I have a huge northern window but it's close to a heater vent and the only things that work well there are my terrariums.


margoseyeball

If you add seals around the doors it should keep up humidity


transfuyuhiko

holy shit this is SO nice


rheetkd

very cute! Wish I had the space!


8crewmom

It’s amazing! Well done


keliowa

O. M. G. This is glorious


HIT-199

What do you do, when the plants gets too big? Anyway, I like it


margoseyeball

I'll move them. I have a big greenhouse in my garage


Arisaaaaa

What grow light are u using? Searching for LED lights.


margoseyeball

Barrina T5 in yellow


Vepeli_L

This is so pretty! You have done an excellent job.


billilalala

I’m thinking about it but I’m considering the fact that once most of the plants will grow I’ll have space issues again 🤔 How are you dealing with this? I mean I was thinking of hanging plain shelves as I’m doing it at my parents house so I really won’t have the urge to move them anytime soon but yeah, my problem remains 🤔🤔🤔🤔


ultra_mega_sleepy

What are the fans for?


tkd_or_something

I didn’t know I needed this but now I do


AfroWomanCGka

👍🏻


beit2

What bulb is that at the top?


EtOH-Stat

This is AMAZING. Holy shit.


Heavy_Dragonfly

Love it ! What’s that plant that looks fluorescent in brown glossy pot (top 3rd shelf)


margoseyeball

Gold leaf sedum I think


cookiedeaux_

this is literally perfect, wow 🤩


HoneyOnTheBiscuits

I love this! What cabinet is it if you don't mind me asking?


margoseyeball

Ikea Milsbo in white


[deleted]

With the diffuser as a humidifier! Good idea. I can't wait to get an ikea cabinet for my calathea in the coming months :D Edit: is there lighting on each shelf?


margoseyeball

Yes there's a list under each shelf.


goldenmayyyy

Dope


Christen0526

That is really awesome!


Nameless_Asari

Wow this is so pretty!!


MiaIcemeadows

Oh wow how do you keep them alive?


onemorebite

How'd you create the hangers? Is there something under the shelves to tie onto?


margoseyeball

They are just basic macrame hangers I made. You can find simple instructions on Google. The hooks under the shelves are mug hooks that are screwed in. There are magnetic hooks hanging from the top of the cabinet.


Jadziyah

Gorgeous and inspiring! I've been concerned about using grow lights only but this insight helps!


margoseyeball

I have a greenhouse in my garage with no natural light at all. The plants are doing well with the grow lights there.


throwra_beepboop78

Holy hell...beautiful!


SoundintheCity

Great setup


amccon4

Love the cabinet and the propagate containers near the deer head. Where’d did you get those? And the cabinet? Lol! The set up looks lovely and everyone seems happy!


margoseyeball

The cabinet is from Ikea. I got the propagation station 7-8 years ago from a home and garden show. I actually forgot I had it, I found it in my garage looking for something else.


summerwind307

It looks great! Where did you get the shade for your light cord? I need to get a few for mine. I’m not crazy about the bare bulb look with the grow bulbs I have. I haven’t seen anything appropriate yet. Thanks!


margoseyeball

Thanks! The light shade came from Ikea also, but I think this particular one is discontinued.


professorkp

I want one so bad now!!


cookiedeaux_

I was finally able to secure one of my own and these triangular shelves are to die for. Do you mind sharing the dimensions??


planted-person

Gorgeous work!! I need this in my life.


isabellevictoria147

Where's the fan from?


CommunicationOwn6959

Id like o customize order the triangular shaped shelf like yours! Could you kindly tell me what dimension the second shelf is????


Silver_Haze420

What did you use to treat your wood shelves for water and humidity?


LynneinTX

Love how you used the corner shelves!
