I love a room with fresh flowers. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, but a touch of flowers brightens up a room and makes me smile.
I try to never spend more than $5 or $10 dollars on a bunch so most times my flowers are coming from my supermarket or deli. Instead of just sticking them into a plain vase in a haphazard manor I like using pieces from my milk glass collection.
Here is an easy arrangement that anyone could do with a simple bowl.
Step 1: Get our your supplies. Use any bowl you may have it doesn’t have to be milk glass. Floral foam is a must. It helps hold the flowers into place and I find that it helps my flowers last longer. I purchased that pack at Michaels for $6. It goes a long way.
Step 2: Using a kitchen knife cut your foam and place it in the bowl.
Step 3: Cover foam with water.
Step 4: Start cutting down the flowers. I cut them down one at a time. Due to the shape of the bowl and the foam each flower is going to be a slightly different size. I just play around with it until I get the right shape.
Step 5: Enjoy!
That arrangement took about 10 mins. I used it as a table centerpiece during my Mom’s birthday brunch. My mom loves flowers so she was very happy to see some cheerful blooms on the table.
This type of arrangement can be done with any type of flower. Normally I like doing the same flower like roses or even carnations and getting a big consistent colored pouf!

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 […]
