BK that is absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the red and black & white polka dot window treatments - what an awesome backdrop for those beautiful plants!!! I'm floored! So striking! I have an idea -- you run outta room, I'll send you my addy, and you can store your stuff here

WOW! You have my dream living room jungle! Absolutely stunningly gorgeous!!! I have an idea -- you run outta room, I'll send you my addy, and you can store your stuff here I have a much better idea! I live only one province away - much less costly to ship your plants west. Sorry, Mary. BTW, Bryson, welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing those fabulous photos!

Oh, I love your living room! I always feel better being surrounded by plants in the house...not that my husband always agrees, but luckily for him he lets me do my own thing! LOL Thanks for sharing the pictures! Laura

All I can say is WOW! Absolutely Marvelous! Oh and can I move in? Your bird is so adorable chillin by the waterfall. His very own paradise. I want a living room like that so that when you come home everyday it's like your very own paradise..an exotic locale far away from your hometown. Would be nice to always feel like you were on vacation. *L* Anyways enough of my babbling. Welcome to the forum!

Well not really..maybe if I lived in Southern California I would see this outside my house. Better yet if I lived in Hawaii *L* But I don't so I just have to admire your jungle living room for now. My parakeets would love that set up.

I'm with the others--That's my kind of place! And my one cat would think he'd died & gone to heaven. I have one room down in the basement that is off limits to cats. I already have some low-light plants in it--including a Snake plant. I'd love it to look like your room! Lynne

I love the red walls as a back drop for your plants, it really brings out the green in them and gives them a dramatic effect. Your living room is my dream!
