I had wanted one but was too cheap to buy it for myself so my husband ordered the first and a photo of it is below. That one will go in our family room. I mentioned starting this thread and how psyched I was about picking plants to grow in it and about a week later my girlfriend told me she had been offered one that hadn't sold at a garage sale and took it specifically to give to me. The third one was because I showed the first two to my neighbor who seized a golden opportunity to "unload" on me. I know the feeling of wanting to clean house and did it myself last spring. It felt good to get rid of things I knew I'd never use again. Now it would appear I'm filling back up again but I'm thrilled. One person's trash is another's treasure.

The first black rod iron is preferable to me but interestingly enough, I took the second one because I have a master bathroom that I thought it would look nice in that is white with white decking around a white jet tub. There's also a white ceramic steam stall in there which I use all the time for my plants- tee he. I want that room white for reflective light. I have orchids in that bathroom all over the place and the green foliage really stands out because of the stark white ceramics and they all get a lot of good very bright indirect light. When the orchids bloom, the blooms really stand out too. I was afraid to spray the second terrarium black since it was going in the orchid bathroom and figured best to use white on the frame to blend in. Then the third terrarium came my way and I figured go white on that one too and flank the tub with one on each side for symmetry. Decorating is not my forté in life and if you ever visited my home you would not disagree with me.
