Green corner in my living room

This is a sunny corner in my living room.
On the left, you'll see two brass vessels (antiques handed over by my grand mom). These were used to cook rice in olden days and were lying around unused. I've propped one of them up on a slice of a bark which is not clearly visible in the picture. I picked up the wicker hanging baskets (those on the window) from Thailand and found them to be really nice ones for tiny, slow growing succulents. I'll put those up on another post.
The earthen lamp on the side lights up the place in the evening. I re-arrange a lot, so I'd clicked this one to share before I move to something else.
Wish you all a happy and bright weekend!!!

  1. That sure is a nice space! Reminds me of Asia - I think it's the wooden window frame.

  7. Is that a tall dracena on the right? The plant on the left I don't know the name, is a pest in my garden they love to grown on other plants. Cozy spot for meditating.

  10. @Helen: Yes, that's a kind of dracaena. I dont know the name of the plant that you say is a pest. It grows really fast, and I keep sharing it with people around. I like the color, and that it's a low maintenance foliage.

  12. That is a cheery corner. I like the way you used the antiques. The plants are awesome, too. I forgot which item you said you moved, but I'm sure it still looks great in the corner!
