Direct Sunlight

I've been dreaming about a Bonsai tree for this space for weeks.

Ever since I watched Stylish with Jenna Lyons and they met two men who sold Bonsai trees.

It was the Aha moment for this empty little table in the hall.

So at Cactus & Tropicals I shopped through the different varieties, 

then asked a specialist for advice.

She recommended larger leaves for a more hardier tree.

Also said they have to live in front of a window and get direct sunlight at least two hours a day.

I asked what if they live NEXT to a window with bright sunlight?

Oh no. They must live directly in front of it or they will die.

I bought it anyway.

Isn't it funny that I didn't take the expert's word for it?

I guess I just had to know for myself.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
