mllow Hi there! Can you tell me the wall color name in the purple and yellow bedroom, please? That's exactly the color I have been looking for.

mauikarma We've been redecorating our new house, using earthy greens and light browns as our neutrals with purple as the primary accent color and small touches of orange for secondary accents. So far, we've been very pleased with the results!

newcs 3 things I've had good luck with (and I usually kill all houseplants): Aloe, spider plants and my new favorite are the mini orchids from Just Add Ice. I don't use ice since it damaged a leaf but this little plant from the grocery store has been going strong and blooming for a couple months now, even though I went away for 2 weeks. I just water it a little bit each weekend and don't do anything else.

nagoose The only plants I haven't killed are the plastic ones. The live ones that are still alive don't look nearly as good as the fakes, either looking sickly or near death. And I only get the "unkillable" ones!

I keep trying even after saying in despair to my husband as I recycle yet another plant I am just going to replace each one as they die with plastic ones. I definitely love plants to death. They don't last too long with me. Sigh.
