Decorating with Flowers

 Last weekend there was a photo shoot at our house. Mum & I must have filled every vase I own with either flowers or greenery. The smell of fresh flowers in the house was beautiful.
While we were filling vases and working out where they looked best it made me realize just how much flowers and greenery can add to a room. The element of nature, the different texture and colour ground the space and is often the 'missing element'. An oversized vase with large branches of greenery can look sensational!

I think flowers look nice on coffee tables, kitchen benches, entrance tables, console tables, fireplaces, bedside tables, bathroom benches, side tables and in shelves.  In fact I can't actually think of a spot where they don't look great!

Here is a roundup of some lovely spots with blooms and greenery for a bit of inspiration.

Do you have a favourite spot in your house where you always put flowers?

Thanks to Rachael for thinking of me and sending this over.

 

I'm so wasted cleaning up vegemite & sand.

Mothers Day Morning Tea 2013

 

Mother's Day this year was really lovely! Henry and Alice sat at the table and enjoyed our Morning Tea treats in a somewhat civilized fashion!

We had scones, sandwiches, biscuits, champagne, tea & coffee. And after morning tea we all watched Henry and Alice perform a rock concert. Henry was on the guitar, my Mum singing & Alice was the dancing girl!

The table looked pretty with the soft pastel colours in the tea cups and the flowers. The little tin hearts at each place setting were actually from our Wedding. I really enjoyed doing the flowers on Saturday . . . every time I play with flowers I think 'gosh I'd love to be a florist!'. And every time I make coffee I think 'gosh I'd love to be a barrista!'

The new LCA High Society Necklace has been a big hit for Mother's Day. I hope you love wearing your necklace as much as I do!  

Happy Mother's Day all!
