You should have drainage holes in the pots so the plants don't die. Or be very careful how you water them. Sometimes it's better to pot them in plastic pots and use a cover pot for decorative purposes. It's easier to water.

I found the comment about no corridors interesting. I am renovating my grandmother's farmhouse that was built of brick made on the property and oak, also from the property in 1867. I just finished removing the wallpaper in the upstairs front hallway. The east and south walls had milk paint -- still bright -- under the wallpaper. The bottom was burgundy, the top apple green and a wide purple band at the top! But the west and north walls were plastered. The paint went behind the plaster of the west wall. At the end of the hallway, in the west bedroom the is a closet in the north east corner and the inside is painted in the same band of colors. This evidence leads me to believe that the hallway is a "newer" addition and that once there were only two large rooms.

BUT I quickly realised that she was exactly as she appeared, fun, positive, brave and generous.
