Library Wall Light & Blooming Orchid

Hello everyone!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far.  I wanted to share my new wall light that I ordered from Decor Steals.  It was supposed to be hard-wired, but my husband converted it to a plug in light so I could use it where ever I wanted.  One day, I would like to get it installed the right way though. 




I love the patina on it!  I hung it in my family room over a chest of drawers that didn't currently have a lamp on it.  



It just got hung up today, so I can't wait to see what it looks like at night!


Next, I wanted to share my orchid in bloom.  I'm so excited that it is blooming.  It has been dormant for almost a year!


This is the first live orchid I've ever owned.  I tried to do what everyone suggested in order to keep it alive.  I had heard they can be temperamental.


It now has 2 full blooms on it!  As you can see, there will be several more in the next few days.  It's in a blooming cycle right now.


I had it sitting on the floor in front of a window while it wasn't blooming.  It wasn't too pretty then.  I watered it very seldom and drained off the excess water each time.  I cut back the old stems and waited.   It worked!  I set it in a tureen on top of the chest in my foyer.  It gets good filtered light in here.


I can't wait for the rest of the buds to open up!  

Speaking of flowers............

I am suffering with allergies now.  So, this is now by new best friend.


It REALLY works for me!!!!  

I appreciate you stopping by.  Hope you have a great weekend!
