It will be a jungle out there when my morning glory vines grow up! The morning glory can grow to be ten feet tall or more in a season, which made it a popular privy plant in the old days when it was often used to camouflage the outhouse.
As its name suggests, the flowers open in the morning and gradually fade during the afternoon. They will wrap their vines around anything—wood, wire, string, and even each other.
Fittingly, in the language of flowers, they represent bonds and attachments.
Bring Color to the Bedroom to Update your Bedroom
Bring Color to the Bedroom
Use neutral colors adding a different color to an accent wall. Grays and blues are cool color which provide a relaxing atmosphere.
Switch Out Accent Pillows
Accent pillows let you quickly alter the personality of a room and shift the balance of color. They’re especially powerful used in a bedroom because the bed is a natural focal point. Pillows can update a room instantly by adding volume, pattern, texture, color, and personality.
Here, a subtle backdrop of cream and blue is brought into focus with a collection of lively pillows. Sunny yellow and blue accent pillows pull the wall color and accent color together perfectly.
Update the Headboard
A dramatic headboard can add instant impact. You’ll find a wide variety of new headboards available at all price points but consider customizing your existing headboard or using an unexpected salvaged piece for a low-cost option. Here, fresh fabric covers an existing headboard to create a cozy retreat.
Update Window Treatments
To set a mood, use draperies and classic swags for a formal look, curtains and shades for an informal look, and simple blinds for contemporary appeal. Consider lining–room-darkening or insulating–that suits the treatment and your needs.
Try on Bold New Bed Linens
Nothing looks and feels fresher than new bedding. If you love the idea of new bedding but are short on storage space for bulky comforters and quilts, consider a duvet, switching out the duvet cover every season.
Bring in the Right Amount of Light
General overhead lighting is less important in bedrooms. Instead focus on bedside lamps and other sources of accent lighting to turn a bedroom into an inviting, comforting retreat. And the type of light is important, too–something as simple as replacing an old light bulb with a warm-spectrum fluorescent might provide just the freshness your bedroom needs.
Try a New Direction
To give your bedroom a decorative lift without spending a dime, angle the bed from a corner. If your present headboard looks too bulky for this arrangement, replace it with a salvaged iron gate or a shorter upholstered panel.
Update Closet Doors
In many bedrooms, closet doors take up a significant amount of wall space. Why not replace the bulky, utilitarian sliding doors with something you’ll enjoy waking up to every day?
Sliding closet doors can be replaced with chic French doors. Mirrored panels hide closet clutter and give the room more visual space.
Paint the Ceiling

Alpine strawberries cause confusion, as sometimes they’re considered wild, and sometimes they’re not. They’re generally of the genus Fragaria vesca, which grows wild in northern Europe. They can be both red or white.
If you do a search online for white strawberries you will likely get a lot of results. Many will have pictures of pure white berries. They are found in seed catalogs, I have never found these in any greenhouse. They are called pineberries. Some of those offering plants and seeds of these berries are calling them alpine strawberries. There is considerable misinformation about white strawberries in general.
White alpine strawberries are varied. These are called “Pineapple Crush” and are grown in a 12″ pot from seed.
