A Banana Tree & The Invite to NYC

As mentioned earlier today, I am redecorating my room. I decorate from the corners and work my way out, and so I started with my favourite intimate corner which has always struck me as a little exposed.

In keeping with the theme of Occupied Bombay, I knew I needed a Banana Tree. Banana Trees are quite underrated, folks. Apparently, they’re also a rarity. I hunted everywhere for one, and finally found the perfect Banana Tree for my corner.

Please say hello to Tilda, my Banana Tree:

Isn’t she beautiful?

My outstanding list of items is now narrowed down to:
- Wire backed chair
- Reading chair
- Ottoman to match the reading chair
- One large tapestry
- A chandelier
- I’ll be removing three massive panels behind which resides my wardrobe, because I’ve decided to instead hang very heavy drapes in their place (shades of reds & golds)
- Miscellaneous items such as candles, frames and at least three mirrors to slip above my headrest, to reflect the proper light.
- That’ll leave me with one wall empty, a space I’m as of yet unsure how I’ll work with…

I wasn’t joking when I wrote “42 years”.

I’ve accepted an invite to NY for my birthday. Only, I won’t be going on my birthday but rather the weekend following.

It took me some time to make up my mind, but now that it’s all made up I’m terribly excited & consequences be damned. My heart’s a mess, anyway.
