With turkey day only a couple of days away I wanted to share two easy ways to take supermarket flowers in my case Trader Joe’s flowers and make a wow floral centerpiece or two! Make sure when you are picking up your flowers that you go with a variety of textures, sizes and color to make an interesting mix.
The first easy way to tackle it is with a low vase and tape! Super simple to do and it looks totally professional.
Use your tape to make a grid over the top of the low vase.
Once you have a grid you need to start building out your flowers from the border. I like starting out with the biggest flower in this case, hydrangeas.
Then add in your next flower and make sure it’s a different color and size.
Then continuing filling in the border with the next flower. Make sure you go with a different color and type of flower.
With the border having a good base of flower now it’s time to fill in the middle/center of the vase. To fill out the space properly I decided to go with the largest flower I had.
Then finish filling out the vase with the last remaining flower and fill out the rest with more filler flowers and roses.

For my second take I did a little thrifting and bought single glasses and mini bud vases to run the length of the table.
Then simply cut your flowers to size and mix up the different flowers.

So, fast and easy and you really need no floral arrangement experience to do it.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
