The fern on top of my writing desk wasn't doing very well.
Lots of dying branches and no new growth. I thought maybe it needed to be closer to the window.
I also freshened up the potting soil.
This window is right beside my desk, I just needed a stand of some kind.
Awhile back I found this old metal chair at the resale store for $3.o0. I have plans to spray paint it and make it a garden chair, but until then, I thought it would work as a temporary stand.
I draped a small lace tablecloth over it.
And set the fern on top. It has been a few weeks and I have noticed some new growth already!
Speaking of ferns, our kitty, Fern liked her new hideaway!
Thank you for looking at my bedroom corner makeover! I hope you have a wonderful start to your week!
You decorate so like me, it is almost scary. I love the same things you do. It is refreshing to check out all your ideas. Thanks for all the sharing you do.

Hi Kelli :) I hope that you have a wonderful week, too! Love, Q
ReplyDeletePS - I love the Fern & fern pic ;)
Fern, fern, cute. CUTE kitty. I hope that your fern likes the new window area.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet photo of Fern, Kelli. What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI love the teapots your mom gave you in the post down below, but the last one, might be my favorite too!
Good idea! I'm sure the fern (plant version) will enjoy the light from the window.
ReplyDeletePretty little corner, love the lace over the chair..
ReplyDeleteFern is a cute cat....

Wow, your fern (the plant, not the cat) looks SO pretty sitting in the chair!! Isn't it neat how such a simple thing looks extra lovely in the right setting?
ReplyDeleteAnd Fern (the cat, not the plant) looks happy as can be in her new little hiding place!!

I love that chair, it's so nicely designed, looks very nice with the flower too!
ReplyDeleteI think Fern likes the camera! Your plant stand is very pretty. Hope it will grow better now being closer to the window.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I look forward to some yard sales this spring.
ReplyDeleteHi, this is a great idea, I love it and so does the cat I see ; )
ReplyDeleteI haven't been doing much at the moment. Had some sad news and don't feel up to anything at the moment.
Will try to do my best tomorrow though !!!

What an adorable photo of the cat peaking out from around the fern. I hope it does better. What a cute idea too using the chair. Do you think it will make it to the garden. hehe. Have a great week.Sherry.p.s. I wish I could catch my cats in the act. Everytime I pick up the camera they run!
ReplyDeleteI have bad luck with ferns. Never know where to put them. Love using the chair as a stand.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos. We're in the process of redoing our bedroom and bathroom so it's inspiring to see the beauty in yours.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the chair as a stand. How clever and quaint!
Cute use of the chair. The cat is adorable.

Very nice! While looking at the photos I was wondering, does Fern stay out of the fern? My naughty kitties were chomping on the calla lillies hubby bought me for Valentine's day, so I whisked them away to my office.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of both of them!
thats a lovely corner and i am sure the fern will love it..
ReplyDeleteAs usuall....beautiful decor Kelli!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty idea, Kelli.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just love that your cat is named Fern. What a creative name.
Hope you have a great week.

That is such a pleasant looking corner. I know that the fern will appreciate the new position with the additional light. The kitty, Fern, is way too cute under the chair.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely corner of your home. I've never been able to keep a fern alive indoors.
ReplyDeleteTammy
A very nice idea! Fern looks very contented in her new hiding place. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
Kelli, those are really good photos. I think that chair makes a real nice fern stand. One thing I've found about the Boston ferns is that in the winter, when our heat is going off and on to maintain a constant temperature in the house, they tend to dry out. Do you spray it with water? If not, try that. I would spritz it 2 or 3 times a day and see if there is any change within a few days. Don't give in to the temptation to over-water it, though. That's what most of us do. (I learned the hard way.)My asparagus fern is thriving. We have it in indirect sunlight and it is soooo green. They are a different breed of cat, tho. Also, your Boston fern would probably not like any direct sunlight. Just bright, indirect light. You probably know all this stuff! You home always looks so beautiful! Yeah. Fern, fern. I get it. :D
