Though I continue to fuss with the yellow room, the final pieces are in place. When my older son moved out, I redecorated, with the goal of creating an eclectic and relaxing guest room. You can read more about that in my post Decorating the Yellow Room.

The small desk I ordered for the room fits in style and size beautifully. I store gift bags and ribbons in this room, so the desk is a handy place to stage gifts.

If you’re a regular reader, you may remember that the lovely Ficus met its fate, a short-lived and expensive mistake. I moved it to a brighter location to no avail. It’s now part of the composting pile.

In its place, I moved the postage stamp table I created with my Dad’s collection and bought an affordable plant that gets by with low light to sit on top.

Peace Lilies prefer moderate to low light, and who doesn’t like a plant with the word “peace” in its name? The plant can have “mild toxicity” to cats if ingested which I read today, but neither of our kitties show any interest in our houseplants, preferring instead to roll in or imbibe the plentiful garden nepeta known as catnip.

Two more small additions include a pair of green shams for the bed and the embroidery hoop art I made for the garden bench. A couple of readers shared concerns about the longevity of the pieces if I hung them outdoors, so they now reside above the bed.

This project has been a lot of fun. Now I’m a woman in search of another empty room. Any takers?

What projects are you up to?
