Meet Fiona, Our Fiddle Leaf Fig



I have this habit of naming things as a term of endearment.
Like cars, children, and my husband's moped from college, for instance.  

The names of my cars have been Lucky, Sugar,  & now Rover.  Each of them had a reason for the name they were given.
As I stated yesterday, I {heart} Fiddle Leaf Figs,
so I thought it only appropriate to name her, as well.

Meet Fiona.



Obviously, I like the alliteration aspect of her name, 
Fiona, my Fiddle Leaf Fig.
and it's also fitting as she is green and female, just like the beloved character in Shrek.  I know, creative, right?



She was immediately welcomed into our home with squeals of excitement from, Moi...and giggles from Little Man, as he watched me bounce around the room in excitement. I kept thinking of reasons that I needed to walk through the family room today,
just so I could smile at her.


Don't judge me. I am just giddy.

She absolutely brought life to a neutral corner, and I hope she adores her new sunny corner spot as much as I adore her.

Notice anything else new, from these photos?
Yes, I did press my draperies. But there is something else...
You guessed it! My new armchairs were re-upholstered and delivered yesterday. More on those deets soon.
