Indoor gardening - gnome garden, airium on floor, houseplants

My poor airium, it has a stump inside on the floor, a piece of cork bark tied to the wall, with a fairy door on the bark and three or four small air plants hot-glued to the bark. On the stump, toward to right rear, is a spidery air plant with red and green tones in a fan shape. inside the hollow of the stump is a sprawling air plant with curled tendrils that used to look so nice in a light green shade. Then perched on the left foreground on the stump is a peachy-colored crystallized stone. Hanging from the ceiling I have made stylized "rain" out of my jewelry-making supplies using strings of tiny glass and mineral beads, each ending in a pearl or a moonstone teardrop. The reason it is a "Poor Airium" is that it lived several months on top of our TV cabinet, 5 ft high, unable to get much light. The plants did not fare well. I have been waiting a long time to get rid of that behemoth of a 1980s oak entertainment center that I got to be rid of all of the stereo clutter and CD and video racks. I have replaced it with a small chest from the second-hand store that DH loved for its over-the-top kitchy-ness. It is all gold Egyptian statues and acanthus leaves and such and reminded him of the fine movie palaces of the early 20th century. I have added detail and replaced white chalky "antiquing" with dark stain and repainted the gold. I still have the drawers to finish and the lion's head drawer-pulls to install! The little marble-topped table the gnome garden is on is a Craigslist find this week. $40!
