I acquired this photo for a post on mid century wall-to-wall carpeting, but that will have to wait ’til later. Today’s post is about arguably your most important retro reno room accessory: a Monsterosa Deliciosa plant!
You can see it in the foreground of this image – to the left of the fireplace. When we first moved into our 1951 ranch, we bought one right away, for our large living room.
Our daughter named it — PAVA, for Plant And Vine Agent. My husband takes care of it religiously and it’s thrived. Just recently he made an awesome moss pole for it. PAVA really makes a huge difference in our interior in terms of giving it an authentic retro feel! Mind you, these do get big, so plan for the space.
