But, also.... DANG. This is a fantastic room and I would love that wallpaper in my own bedroom!

I love houseplants but my cats devour every single one I had (including cut flowers, too). If I put them in the places too high for them to reach, they are too high for us (humans) to enjoy! I've tried having "cat grass" inside, but that's just their appetizer before moving on to my other plants. Any cat owners have suggestions? I don't love the look of a cactus, myself, but that seems to be the only alternative?

Ooh, can you PLEASE tell me where you got your beside table clock? Perfect color for what I need!

I have a trunk-related question -- we recently acquired a used trunk from my in-laws. I emptied it at their house (to take everything to goodwill), but by the time I got the trunk home, it had locked itself somehow. On subsequent trips back to my in-laws' house, I have searched for a key, but it's been lost. Any ideas on how to open it without damaging it? It's the same kind of lock as the trunk's in picture 2. We've tried picking the lock with various implements, and I've also looked up tutorials on youtube, and nothing seems to work. I'd rather not spend money on a locksmith, but that sounds like our next step (unless we just break the whole lock). Just wondered if anyone had experience with this? It seems like such a simple mechanism, but it's foiled us at every turn!
