I had this empty wall in the office for several months until my dad helped me hang the shelving unit. However, it has been sitting empty until just the other day after I did some bargain shopping to decorate it. I'm quite pleased with how everything turned out.
Fingers crossed that I can keep the plants alive! The area has very little light, but the pilea's (lower left) plant description says it only needs low light. The bamboo (upper left) may have difficulties since the cats already chewed it, but I'm hoping it will be resilient. I bought a plant bulb and timer to supplement what little light is reaching the shelves from the window, but I still need to find a desk light for it. (I'm currently using one that isn't my favorite, so I hope to find one at a second-hand shop that would suit the space better.)
My bargains (if you're curious) ... shelves - free (from my parents); votive candle holder, framed piece of fabric - items already owned; class cups - $0.20 each at thrift store; fake branches, berries, potted flower, bird figure, and votive candles - all 50% off at Michaels, totaling less than $10; live plants - full price purchase totaling less than $5.
