Besides finding a new ‘cloche’ over the weekend, I also brought home a couple of new house plants. Some of my plants have not done well over the winter.
I read an article recently about Peace Lilies that made me really want one. I don’t remember what the article said to make me want one, but whatever:) I bought a large one to fill the corner of the living room where the air return vent and sub-woofer thing is to hide them. I like how full it is compared to the palm that I had there before. (I combined the two palms we had into one pot and it lives in our bedroom now.)
I also bought a plant to try out in the beautiful African Violet pot that my sweet friend Tara gave me at Christmas:
I already have two violets from BIL’s wedding, and I decided not to get one for this pot because I found that it fit really nicely under my large cloche in the foyer. Since violets grow wide and not tall, I added height with this little feathery fern-type plant:
And here it is in the foyer:
I love it! I knew you would make that pot look so beautiful!
🙂 You are so wonderful! I just love it – it is the perfect sort of dainty!
I love the plant in the cloche! It is beautiful!
Love your house plants – and it looks so cute in the cloche!
Thanks! I was so thrilled when I noticed it would *just* fit under the cloche:)
I somehow stumbled across your blog surfing other home decor blogs and I have to tell you I LOVE your dark rich wall colors, especially in your living room, would you care to share the colors/brand? Thanks so much:) -Jen
Thanks Jen! When we first moved in, I had an inspiration photo with Hoot Owl by Kilz. I looked for a similar version at HD and settled on Corral Fence by Glidden (00YY-17/130 – the can label is a little faded, but I’m pretty sure that is the code).
It has been such a hit, 9 times out of 10, it is the first compliment I receive when someone visits us.
I don’t know if it shows in the pictures, but both the dining room (west-facing) and living room (east-facing) are this color. Hope that helps!
Hi! Could you tell me the name of the feathery tropical plant you have please? Thanks!
Hi Ceve! The tag that came with the plant says Asaragus Plummosus. I see them pretty often in the houseplants section at home improvement stores. Interestingly, since this post, it dried up, turned brown and dropped all if its fronds(?), but I have a hard time giving up on houseplants until there is nothing left. It completely rebounded sitting it my kitchen window (morning sun) and it looks great again, Seems pretty resilient!
