   I am trying to decorate a friends place with green on a budget too! I will for sure check out IKEA… Did you search anywhere else? I seem to be at a loss looking for masculine green!

   Hey Alek!

   Loving that guest room! (I might have to impose myself as a guest someday!)

   Did you hear (speaking of IKEA) that they’re building one in Lynnwood? (a nearby suburb to the North of Downtown Seattle, closer than the current IKEA) There’s an old high school up there (Lynnwood High School) that they purchased, right next to all the shopping up there, and they’re going to tear down the school and put up a massive IKEA.

   I’m both excited and sad. That high school was so 70’s and cool, when I was in high school, I can remember playing tennis matches there…..*sigh*

   PS: love your Christmas cactus on the chair/sidetable. Mine just finished it’s second round of blooms and is now sprouting all kinds of crazy new growth leaves.

   No, I didn’t! You are so in the know – I wouldn’t know anything if it weren’t for you! Thanks for sharing.

   How observant of you to notice that cactus! It’s the only plant I’ve been able to keep alive – it’s got to be the heartiest plant ever.

   I didn’t actually – I was kind of in a hurry so I hit Ikea and got lucky.

   I love your house…. The green on the white looks great. Esp with that little flower pot that pops with the yellow and green!

    Yes, my dad also has two Christmas cacti (right? cacti?)that he saved from a dumpster years ago when we lived in Queen Anne (he saw the guy next door take them out back and dump them, and being the Seattlite, he went and saved them). I was about 8yrs old then. He still has them, they’re enormous, and still blooming each year, one a dark fushia color, the other a really pale quartz.

    Mine is white. I love the white, and I have it in a pretty white pot. But I love the yellow yours is in too!

    Love it! I just starting bringing green in as well, and I couldn’t be happier. Your color palette is something I am thinking of for my master bath. So cute!
