Where Will the Plants Go?

Three months ago we decided it was time to get a sideboard for the dining room. We hadn’t had a dining room since we moved to Capitol Hill sixteen years ago. When we moved to northern Virginia three years ago we suddenly had a dining room and a very big empty space. So for the interim we thought to brighten the area with a plant stand of sorts and fill it with plants and decorative elements. It started to look overgrown and messy - which is why we got the sideboard to clean it up, but also to use it as a table lamp stand for our holtkotter cloud lamp. The furniture is finally being delivered tomorrow so we had to start finding homes for all of the plants - and the table. Our idea of putting the table behind the couch failed, so it will probably end up at Goodwill. As for the plants I’ve redistributed them around the house - primarily in the bedroom - for now. Some of them looked pretty ragged so they were dumped. I cut one down and put it in the wall vase as it tends to grow roots and does well in that environment. When you live in 1000 square feet there just aren’t a lot of options. Now we have a few pots that are empty but too nice to dispose of at this time. We will probably end up putting them all in the sideboard storage until I can think of something else. It doesn’t pay to have too much junk. When we moved to DC awe left everything behind - so we know how it feels to get rid of everything. I’m hoping the sideboard makes the room look a bit neater and cleaner. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
