I love these two dramatically high plants that a contact my friend Carlene gave me had to get rid of. I know exactly where they’re going to go in my house to take advantage of the cathedral ceiling windows. In the empty room pictures, you’ll see that I can put one on each side of the divider wall between the wet room and the main bedroom. They can “kiss” above the divider by leaning into each other.

Gathering the decor that I’m packing for my real home continues as I do some retail therapy. It’s going to feel like a thousand christmases when I unpack because I don’t even remember what I have since the fire and what generous people have donated to me. I’ve paid some of it forward, but everything I decorate with will be fully intentional this time, or otherwise transient.
