    If I use faux greenery, I like to mix it with natural branches, such as curly willow or river birch. Heck, even sticks out of someone's yard help!
    And you're so right about the picture light--game changer!

You know what's gonna do this? One leaf. One leaf. NO we don't want one leaf! We only put one bay leaf in your stew..." 🤣💀 KB I luv you!

    Decorators, designers, and influencers who pooh-pooh faux plants or dried plants and flowers (Nate Berkus) get on my nerves.
    Granted, I love gardening and taking care of my live indoor and outdoor plants. However, there are spots in the house where I want greenery but sunlight is insufficient and I don’t want to install a plant light. In those instances, I will substitute with a faux plant.
    Speaking of live plants, if they cannot drain, they will soon die. But I have vintage hardwood floors throughout the house. A few years ago I figured out a failsafe way to keep live plants healthy and thriving indoors and allowing them to drain while sparing the floors and keeping them entirely free of damage from plant water runoff, all while using beautiful, decorative planters and no unsightly drip trays.
    I need to make a UA-cam video about indoor and outdoor potted plants and how to keep them from staining your concrete and damaging your floors. 😉
