When I started this process about year ago, I was set on an antique rug and neutral couch, and then our blue couch's price tag caught my eye at the ADAC sample sale - first wrench in the <a href="http://www.decor-eat.com/2014/05/apartment-update-i.html">plan</a>.<br />
<br />
So then the apartment looked like this, which I loved, but the gray rug was a bit too large for the space making the room feel much smaller than it actually was.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
So we moved the gray rug into the bedroom, and then I got a little too accessory happy and WAY over decorated the space. During this time period, the living room did not look good. But I'm happy to say, it didn't stay this way for long. I moved the snake plant into another room, and the gold etagere and the painting into the guest room.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other side of the room, I started to build a galley wall to help bring the TV into the decor scheme.</div>

<br />
Although extremely different from my original plan, I absolutely love the space and it's traditional but bohemian feel. We moved the original TV console into our bedroom and replaced it with an antique trunk we found at a shop in Charleston. The biggest difference was really the addition of this Moroccan influenced rug that brought a bright, white and airy feel to the space.<br />

It has been a crazy year. CT and I got married, bought our first house and moved within the same month. We had an exhausting house search (despite having a fantastic real estate agent). The Atlanta market is TOUGH! There were a few houses we looked at that were sold by the time we found them and a couple of houses that buyers showed up to with cash over the asking price. We lucked into our house with our real estate agent knowing the person. The house is a nearly 100 year old, well-loved home with great bones that just needs some fixing up. <o:p></o:p></div>

With all of these changes, it felt like time for a change on Decor-Eat as well and our house was a big influence. It influenced my new blog's name, <a href="http://www.bluedoorlivingblog.com/">Blue Door Living</a>, with its blue door that represents peace, stability and keeping the bad energy Over the past few weeks, we have been picking out paint colors, removing radiators, repairing walls and decorating and can’t wait to share our progress. <o:p></o:p></div>

Do you remember the first time you picked paint colors for your house? I've heard so many stories about the timely process with multiple trips to your local handy stores, many weekends painting color blocks on the walls and frequent room check-ins to see how the light is working. All of that building on top of the last time I painted a room in college and choose a nauseating pepto-pink color...<br />
<br />
This time around I've decided to stick with easy neutrals like greige, but even that is hard - subtle undertones, lighting of each room and the fact that painting a swatch on the wall isn't an option. After extensive research, I've netted out on the below, and would LOVE any input to help steer me in the right direction. After this a good post on 'how not to choose paint colors' may follow.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Wall Paint Color Inspiration</u></b><br />
<b><i>Living Room</i></b><br />
The living room is on the northwest side of the house, so it gets the cooler and harsher light. It was recommended to choose a color with a more yellow base over greens and grays, so I choose Dover White by Sherwin Williams (which seems to be pretty popular). Also went with a light color to help a darker room feel open and airy.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><i>Dining Room + Sunroom</i></b><br />
The dining room is on the south side of the house, so it gets a lot of warm, bright natural light while the sunroom gets exposure from all nearly all angles - N, S, and E. This was a tough one to choose, but I went with a cool gray color because I loved it's look in bright and indirect sunlight. I struggled between choosing Popular Gray and Worldly Gray, so would love to know if you have an opinion on the two colors!<br />

<u><b>All Bedrooms</b></u><br />
I am taking more of a risk on and picking the same color for the northern and southern facing bedrooms and hoping the warmth in the beige can be picked up in both rooms. It's saturation is light enough to work and not feel dark in a northern room I'm hoping.<br />

Other colors I really liked that were in the running were Aloof Gray and Shoji White. I went with a tip I saw about choosing a darker cooler when picking wall colors, which ruled these out because they are pretty light. I am really just shooting from the hip, so would love any input.<br />

Man do I love vaulted ceilings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago, we went to a friend's house who has a vaulted ceiling living room going into the kitchen. Not only does it add great space to a smaller room, but it allows for awesome possibilities with statement light fixtures.</div>

I love the holiday time and this year made a point to soak up every second of it. We put our Christmas tree up right after Thanksgiving and started playing Christmas music just as early. So when <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cgp6gpz9w">Julep</a> reached out to me to share how I deck my nails and outfit for the holidays I had to share. I love how the holidays and particularly New Years are the perfect excuse for metallic, glitter and sequins. I painted my nails white and added glittery gold in an arch on the nail beds. I'm obsessed with the look, and it was really easy to do. You just paint the white base first and add the gold with a french tip art guide or by hand. <b style="text-align: center;">What You'll Need:</b><span style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/u6svspz9w">Andrea</a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/mjivepz9w">Brigitte,</a> Base Coat, Top Coat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why'd I pick white and gold? It's my favorite pairing and can go with any outfit over the holidays. Here are some of my favorite metallic looks.</div>

There might be a third type...those of us decor fiends who spotted fiddle leaf fig trees on the pages of our worshiped magazines and we were determined to garden like our grandmas.<br />
<br />
Whichever "type" of plant person we're talking about, plants can make a great gift for the holiday season. Here are some great plant gifts ideas. I threw in a plant painting in case you or your gift receiver really are plant person type 2 (no judging)- because hey, pictures of plants are pretty too.<br />

This really is my most favorite time of the year. The Christmas spirit, the holiday parties and the time with family is hard to beat. And for the more simple things in life...it's also the perfect excuse for sequins which are always a blast to wear. Here are some of my favorite jeweled and sparkly picks for the holiday season. And good news - a lot of retailers have continued on their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals making it easier to splurge or dress for the occasion.<br />

For Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Anthro is offering an extra 20% off it's sale items. I just rounded up my 20 favorite picks and got out with two purchases of my own. Sometimes the sale at Anthro can be a bust with out of season styles, but they have some really great items on sale now for the season.<br />

With deals on pretty much all of my favorite retailer's sites, Black Friday/Cyber Monday are when I like to stock up on some of the bigger price tag items my closet needs for winter time. Outerwear, boots, handbags and beauty. These are my top contenders. Shop the image - it's clickable! Or find the links below.<br />

<br />
<b>ONE</b> I love the color of this vest mix with black for a neutral look or navy for a peacock inspired outfit. <b>TWO </b>I am obsessed with these heels. The camel color is a staple and the gold rim makes them unique but classic. <b>THREE </b>Love the navy color and collar to keep your neck warm. <b>FOUR </b>These boots are a splurge. Despite the price, they are an international best seller and Stuart Weitzman boots are known for their comfort and quality. <b>FIVE </b>I love the look of this coat, the toggle closure and the mid-thigh length. Plus you can't beat getting a winter coat for $129! <b>SIX </b>Love the cobalt blue color and size of this bag.<br />
<br />
<b>SEVEN </b>I am a big fan of booties, maybe even more than sandals. Like the uniqueness of the metallic color and the height of the heel for everyday. <b>EIGHT </b>I am a total sucker for holiday beauty packs, and Bobbi Brown is one of my favorites. <b>NINE </b>I could always use more versatile blazers. I like the length and the color of the buttons. <b>TEN </b>I just got these shoes from Target. They were a fun trip down memory lane as Sam & Libby shoes were pretty much all I wore growing up. They are cheap (even without the deal) and comfortable.<b> ELEVEN </b>Love the cut of these boots and I'm a sucker for suede boots. <b>TWELVE </b>I personally love two-tone jewelry especially when it comes to watches so you can wear this classic watch with gold or silver daily. <b>THIRTEEN </b>I am shocked this bag is from Target. It looks like an expensive handbag and it's only $24.99 before the deal!<br />

Thanksgiving is around the corner and could not be a more welcomed break. Sign me up for some red wine and turkey please. Thanksgiving in my family is about the most relaxing time of the year. We play football, do puzzles and go to bed super early. It's amazing. I got a jump start on my Thanksgiving duties this week by making these yummy mini pumpkin pecan pies to bring to our Thanksgiving dinner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What You'll Need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Muffin tray</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 package frozen pie crust (should come with 2)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pumpkin Filling Ingredients</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 can pumpkin (15 oz) - <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/organic-pumpkin">Can be found a Whole Foods around Thanksgiving time</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 large egg, beaten until frothy </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tablespoon heavy cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tablespoon butter, melted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tablespoon vanilla extract</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 ground cinnamon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon nutmeg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pinch of ground allspice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rum Pecan Sauce</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup maple syrup, grade B</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 medium egg, beaten</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tablespoon light rum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 pinch ground cinnamon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3/4 cup pecan pieces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature - around 20 minutes depending upon how cold it is to start. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine all pumpkin filling ingredients into a bowl and set aside. Combine all rum pecan sauce ingredients and set aside in a bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the pie crust is room temperature unroll bowl pie crusts. Use a glass around 3/12-4 inch diameter (I used a tea cup) or a cookie cutter to cut the circles. You can either use muffin cups or grease the muffin pan lightly with butter and just use the tray. Line the muffin cups with pie crust dough. Fill each cup with one spoon of pumpkin filling, should be about halfway. Then add one spoonful of the pecan mixture to each cup making sure to get at least 3 pecans in each one. </div>

Thanksgiving is a week away and with that - Black Friday and Cyber Monday! Last week, I shared a <a href="http://www.decor-eat.com/2014/11/holiday-gift-guide-gifts-for-him.html">Gift Guide For Guys,</a> but also talked about how much I loved shopping Cyber Monday for the first time last year to get some of my Christmas shopping out of the way. I work in Marketing and my job always gets really crazy during the 4th quarter as we wrap things up before the new year. The past 2-3 Christmases I have been so crazy beforehand that by the time Christmas vacation came around so did some kind of cold. This year I am definitely going to be taking advantage of the sales and sharing my picks with y'all so we can all spend more time in front of the fireplace than in our cars in transit from Lenox Mall.<br />

<a href="http://rstyle.me/~39ezK">ONE</a> Do you know GiGi New York? These bags are on the top of my gifting and wish list as I really believe a gift you'd want yourself can make the best gifts for your close girlfriends. <a href="http://rstyle.me/~38PrO">TWO </a>A monogrammed necklace is classic and the personalization adds a nice and thoughtful touch to your gift. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/s9jx2pz9w">THREE</a> Coffee lovers could always use more coffee mugs - love the pop of color and the quote - it's so true! <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tn7pipz9w">FOUR</a> Pretty much every city is going through a "Polar Vortex" as we speak, so a pretty scarf feels like a no brainer everyone would love. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tmeq6pz9w">FIVE </a>I <b>love</b> these, super cute champagne glasses for celebrations like New Years, the holidays, birthdays and engagements. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/s5f66pz9w">SIX</a> Thought this was a fun dish for storing your favorite jewelry and can add a pop of gold.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tn8gwpz9w">SEVEN</a> This is definitely a more splurge item, but a great classic and staple piece for any girl's wardrobe. <a href="http://rstyle.me/~39ePy">EIGHT</a> Love the color mix in these Bauble Bar earrings. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/szufjpz9w">NINE</a> Ah, I love this bench too.

Last week, I was talking about how much I love a <a href="http://www.decor-eat.com/2014/11/black-bedroom.html">black statement wall</a> in the bedroom. This week check out this killer dark wall in the dining room! I love the feel of this room - cozy, glamorous, vintage, modern and interesting. Lauren from Studio Sven was featured on Apartment Therapy for her beautiful home that mixes antique and modern items. I was blown away with the style mix in every room and had to share. There are even some IKEA pieces in the mix that I challenge you to find, because she does an amazing job of using the method usually used in fashion of mixing inexpensive and expensive things to pull of a high end look.<br />

Did this year go by fast or what?! Last year, I did something new with shopping for gifts. For the first time, I actually shopped online during Black Friday/Cyber Monday to get some of my Christmas shopping out of the way. It was AMAZING. No lines, no crowds (that you can see) and sales EVERYWHERE.<br />
<br />
CT and my anniversary is in December about a week before Christmas, so I'm always on double gift duty around the holiday season and always looking for gift inspiration. This is the first gift guide of the series this year since I personally think guys are the most difficult to shop for I'm sharing theirs first. If there are specific gift guides you'd be interested in - please let me know. These shopping guides are for y'all!<br />

The <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/iiupspz9w">Allen Edmond</a> shoes are definitely a splurge item, but are high-quality leather that molds to the foot. Great to dress up at work with a suit or make more casual with a pair of jeans.<br />
<br />
This Mezcal is seriously amazing. CT and I have been on a huge Mezcal kick, and this is the best we've had so far (no worm in the bottle too, score!). If you're not familiar with Mezcal, don't let my worm reference scare you. Mezcal is a liquor made from agave like Tequila that has a much smokier flavor. It can be mixed like a margarita or made into a smokey cocktail with grapefruit or bitters. It's delicious.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tdd3epz9w">Billy Reid sweater </a>was a Christmas purchase last year, and CT loves it! It's soft and stylish without being too bold of a shawl collar.<br />
<br />
The Go Pro...where do I begin. Guys are just obsessed with these. We were at a wedding the other weekend where CT brought his and it was a total dude magnet. The best deal I've seen is Costco because you get the Go Pro and a bundle of accessories. If you're not a member of Costco, I'd keep my eye on <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/t68mipz9w">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tdgnwpz9w">Target</a>,<a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gopro-hero3-silver-edition-camera/1617384.p?id=1219060404491&skuId=1617384&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=1617384&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!84752394279!g!!47683212879&kpid=1617384&k_clickid=6270acc5-4d56-45a7-a59b-7f0e6f137782&kpid=1617384&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&ksid=6270acc5-4d56-45a7-a59b-7f0e6f137782&ksprof_id=14&ksaffcode=2624&ksdevice=c"> Best Buy</a>, <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/29002369?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227021856269&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40332821312&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=78294530552&veh=sem#about">Walmart</a> and even <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tdgjipz9w">L.L.

<br />
Thought this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/s9rampz9w">flask</a> was a fun and a good gift for guys who bike. The <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/s9jvepz9w">shoe care kit </a>is something I feel like every guy should have for keeping they're shoes nice or for last minute fixes to scuffed shoes for a big meeting, and you can't go wrong with <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tddzepz9w">a nice razor</a> that gets a close shave.<br />

One of the biggest downfalls of renting is not being able to paint the walls (or choose the carpet, it's a close competition). Black bedrooms have really caught my eye recently. They make a dramatic statement but just look cozy for the winter months. I also love the simplicity of these rooms and how easy they are on the eyes without sacrificing style. Mix the black walls with a pop of color or a faux fur.</div>

Each week I end up with a list of items I love and it's fun to see trends emerge. Turns out, I'm really loving neutral prints right now. I've been trying to decide on the Staredown print and it's <a href="http://www.decor-eat.com/2014/10/affordable-art.html">frame</a> for weeks now and in that time Minted actually came out with a new frame leaving me with more decisions to make - black, white, etched white...What do you think?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
One of my favorite groups of bloggers just finished their One Room Challenge's last week, and their before and afters are incredible. I am now obsessed with this patterned rug after seeing it in <a href="http://mimosalaneblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/one-room-challenge-reveal-walk-in-closet.html#more">Mimosa Lane's One Room Challenge</a>. The rug looks fluffy and lush and like the perfect add to our living room floor to layer with our cowhide now that it's winter. I'm trying to get to West Elm today to feel it in person as sometimes with rugs looks can be deceiving. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The pom pom throw I just thought was really cute and a fun for the back of a couch or chair. Loved these earrings for winter time to go with winter white and this leopard print back that looks perfect for toting my laptop back and forth from work. What's on your current want list?</div>

<br />
This<span id="goog_2023836880"></span><span id="goog_2023836881"></span> is a family favorite at our house for Thanksgiving and by far my favorite dish for the holiday! If you haven't ever tried it - don't be put off by the unusual mixture, it's delicious.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Ingredients:</u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cans pineapple, drained and reserved - 1 can pineapple chunks and 1 can pineapple tidbits</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1/3 cup and 1 tbsp of flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4 tbsp pineapple juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups grated cheddar cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2/3 cups (10 tbsps) melted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">20 Ritz crackers, crushed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">11x7 casserole dish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mixing bowl</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">I also love this recipe because it is relatively easy, and you can make this the day before and refrigerate until it's ready to be popped in the oven on Thanksgiving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Mix the first five ingredients in a bowl until all flour and sugar have been mixed in. Next, heat 10 tbsps (or 2/3 cups) of butter in a microwave safe dish and heat for around 50 seconds. Add the melted butter to the mixture and stir. Then, l</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ightly butter your casserole dish and pour the mixture in making sure the pineapple chunks and tidbits are spread evenly. Crush the Ritz crackers and spread them evenly over the top of the mixture as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <br />
If you are cooking it that day, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and cook for 40 minutes or until golden brown. <br />

Picking out a Save The Date can be really difficult and time consuming. First, taking the engagement pictures, and building the guest list then picking out a design, printing and mailing. Phew. Plus, they can get really expensive ($600+ depending upon the number). When I was looking for our save the date I visited pretty much every site out there, but I couldn't quite find the right design for our image or one for the right cost. Then I stumbled upon this awesome site, <a href="http://www.weddingchicks.com/">Wedding Chicks</a> that has a lot of wedding inspiration, AND free save the date printables! You guys know I love a good DIY so this was right up my alley. </div>

I fell in love the one above with it's mix of block letters and Bombshell font. Here's how ours turned out and it only cost us around $100 for printing and stamps!<br />
<br />
The one thing I would call out that I didn't know until it was too late is that when the postcard goes through the machine the top front of the card gets stamped too. Evidently, you can ask the Post Office to hand-cancel your cards so I'd recommend it. We ended up with some black smudges on our face once mailed :/<br />

I am always looking for new healthy snacks, so when <a href="http://soch.us/TLrf-1xhXC" rel="nofollow">Harvest Snaps</a> reached out to me to do a product review of six of their snacks I was excited to give them a try. Harvest Snaps boasts being a healthy alternative to potato chips with 40-50% less fat giving you a guilt and gluten-free snack option that is low in sodium and fat, but high in protein and fiber. Um...yes please!<br />

They sent me 6 different flavors to try from their Snapea Crisps and Lentil Snaps snacks, so CT and I did a taste test this weekend. We tried...<br />
<br />
<b><u>Snapea Crisps -</u></b><br />
Lightly Salted<br />
Black Pepper<br />
Caesar<br />
Wasabi Ranch<br />
<br />
<b><u>Lentil Crisps -</u></b><br />
Tomato Basil<br />
Onion Thyme<br />
<br />
<b>The verdict? These snacks are the bomb! Seriously... I might be addicted.</b><br />
<br />
They are crunchy like potato chips and flavorful. CT's favorite flavor was the Lightly Salted Snapea Crisps, which if you ask me is a testament of the great taste. The snapea crisp taste without heavy flavor is great by itself and perfect for dipping like hummus or a veggie dip. My favorite flavor was a close tie between the Wasabi Ranch Snapea Crisps (I love spicy things) and the Onion Thyme Lentil Snaps. So good. I will be eating these snacks all week!<br />

There have been some pretty amazingly creative pumpkin carving and no-carve decorative ideas going around this year that I had to share. Pumpkins are looking very spooky chic this season. I am obsessed with this constellation pumpkin idea. I hadn't thought about using a drill to make small holes for patterned decorations before.A new trick of the trade to try this year.<br />

We're going to be carving pumpkins tonight -so check out our end product on <a href="http://instagram.com/decoreat">Instagram @decoreat.</a></div>

If Fiddle Leaf Figs had a spot on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuI6GTY9eVc">hot/crazy matrix</a>, it would be in the danger zone. This trees are beautiful, but have a bad rap for being really hard to take care of. Since these trees can be tough to take care of I wanted to share some tips I've picked up over the past 5 months with anyone who's trying to keep one of these guys alive. Here is my tree when I first got it. It had a lot of growth up top and was a little lopsided.</div>

<b>LEANING GROWTH</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To fix the leaning, this was actually an easy fix it just took time. Like most plants, the tree tends to lean towards the light, so rotating it weekly will help keep the growth straight and even. Fiddle Leaf </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>LIGHT</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fiddle leaf figs are supposed to have bright, indirect light. I think this has worked best for us in our western facing window that has more indirect light in the mornings and bright sun in the afternoon. In the summer, I watched the tree closely on the sun intake and on some days when the sun was just beaming in closed the blinds or angled them to make the light more indirect. Another funny thing I learned here is to dust the leaves, so they aren't block from absorbing the light.</div>

<b>WATER</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I bought the tree it came with some brown spots on the leaves edges and the buds looked pretty much burnt to a crisp when I first got the plant. I noticed the buds once I got home and really wasn't sure if they would grow again. It took my some time to figure out the right amount of water for the plant size. <span style="text-align: center;">Around the time when I first got the plant I was be overly cautious about over watering. A few weeks in and some of the leaves at the top were dropping and felt more like leather than crisp like the others. I started watering a little bit more and the leaves perked right up. </span>My pot has a 30" diameter, and I have been watering it once weekly with about 2 cups of water. No more brown spots have appeared and the buds are actually starting to grow again!</div>

Making sure you're watching the plant closely can go along way. I have yet to have to fertilizer (you don't fertilize in the winter), but would love suggestions. I've heard some fertilizers can burn the plant.</div>
