Nice effect!!<br />Interesting plant, I must say!!! I chopped down on of mine recently <br />as it had grown way too big for the room. I'm hoping the three pieces I kept will take <br />and grow roots to be replanted again, eventually.... <br />Interesting choice of color for your wall. Like that!!<br />As for educating the cats, I personally surrendered the diningroom chairs <br />a long time ago. Surprisingly, the fabric is holding on!!! <br />You should see Ophelia digging her claws in and swinging her butt this way and that as she pulls...

Snake plants are I think supposed to be good feng shui -- excellent air purifiers and there's something about pointy leaves shielding you from negative chi. I do really enjoy IKEA, and it was a life-saver for us with our move here. We had to just about completely re-furnish ourselves when we moved to Spain and I don't know how we would have afforded it without IKEA. It may not be for everyone, but we sure do appreciate it. (You're waiting for the big reveal... which is waiting for the ironing of the slip covers and the purchase of scratching posts... we can't decide which should come first.)Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-74480190503171658762013-12-14T16:50:22.360+01:002013-12-14T16:50:22.360+01:00The price you pay for that fantastic view, I guess...The price you pay for that fantastic view, I guess.<br />I love Snake Plants and this 'new' variety is a stunner Mitchell!
