We are in the middle of a renovation for the kitchen and living room. (Still putting brick on the kitchen range top nook, putting in flooring, and putting brick around the arched opening in between the living room and kitchen - there are pocket doors inside that arch so that I can close up the kitchen if I don't want an open concept.) So, I needed a dramatic palm to go in the giant pottery on each side of the arched doors. I really needed them taller but were too expensive for the taller version. So I put a cinderblock on its end, inside each of those huge pots. (The pots are 3' tall) Then that made the palm taller. Once the stone brick is on the arched opening and the dark brown crown molding is up, those palms will really pop! They are beautiful. You can bend them to shape where you want them to go. Very nice. (Sorry for the renovation photo, but they keep bugging me to review this.) If it lets me add a photo when the renovation is complete, I'll come back and post that too.
