just a peek

Yesterday was one of those blah kinda days.  I've been wanting an orchid for a while but I'm pretty confident I'll manage to kill it.  Yesterday I decided I didn't care and it was time to spring for one anyway.

I'm so glad I did.  It's so pretty and is making me happy when I walk in the room.  I made a little vignette with my blue bird and this lovely book.  If you look close you'll see it's entitled "Birds and Flowers" and the orange makes it all pop!  Yeah, it will probably be dead in a month but hey sometimes it's worth a little splurge to brighten your day!

Wait, what is that?

The new rug came!  It's a keeper.  Even Olive approves.

I'll be back with more photos of the room overall.  It is a nice change.  More color and pattern but it layers nicely with our color palate and I think the second time's the charm for us.
