  9. when we moved into our sunny house in may, I was determined to have a little green plant (in a little ben wolff pot) in each bathroom and they always make me happy. (for just dollars each. & I only water once/week.) I can't get enough of the tulips either.. great choice.

    it's such a pretty bathroom too. how lucky. love all the white.
