I'm green with envy about your violets. I too, used to raise them until my DD's cats destroyed all 25 of them.
Someday...
What a cozy bright room. Very yours.

oh gorgeous! I love africian violets! The lady down the street while I was little raised them and "bred" them.. I can't think of the right word.. I loved going in her greenhouse - I think of her every time I see one. What a wonderful sewing area you have :)

Love your room!! I have never been good with plants, but I have managed to keep an African Violet for over 6 months!! Is there something I need to be doing in the winter? It seems fine, but I wondered if it will stop flowering. Thanks...

Love your room and your violets. It brings back a lot of memories for me as my Grandmother grew the greatest African Violets. I can not grow them for the life of me.

I love your room!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Cat lovers BEWARE: some plants are poisonous to cats so be careful if you have a "plant eater" in the house. My one kittie (who is deceased (not from eating plants) loved to nibble on plants and flowers). My DH would buy me flowers for my birthday or Valentine's day and we would have to put them somewhere at night so she wouldn't get at them. You can find a list of these poisonous plants if you Google.

Great room and gorgeous violets. I love them and used to be able to grow them, then all of a sudden I lost my touch.

What a wonderful sunny room. Your plants are great. You know, just looking at your room makes me feel happy inside.
I know that you enjoy going into your room.
