I never thought that I would be writing a post telling you to purchase faux flowers, but the struggle is real. I know that we are all going through a weird time. Currently, we are finishing up week 3 of quarantine and working from home and homeschooling. The first two weeks were actually good, but on week 3 the reality hit that this going to go on for quite some time and this needs to be our new normal. It’s been sad and I miss all of the little things. One of the things I miss the most is my weekly trip to Trader Joe’s. It’s one of my happy places. I love getting to go grocery shopping with a cup of Starbucks from next door and sneak a ton of flowers in my cart while under the guise of food shopping. It’s a perfect little luxury and I miss it. I know it’s just flowers and it seems silly, but it’s something that typically brings a smile to myself and makes me happy.
So, what’s a girl to do? Well, first I looked outside to see if any flowers had started to bloom. You know my love of a good scroll through town and snip of peonies from neighbors bushes. Hehe. Don’t worry I have only ever done it to a house that was for sale and no one was living in. We don’t have anything blooming yet so, my next thought was faux. I’m normally not a fan at all, but I do have some small faux arrangements that I use for styling bookcases and trays. I did some research and did a round-up of affordable faux flower arrangements that are pretty, realistic looking and cheerful!
No. 1 I loved the shape of this vase already and really liked the look and fullness of the hydrangea. I found a white version for half the price!
No. 2 The prettiest citron green faux orchid that would look really nice on an entryway table.
No. 3 Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. This hot pink faux flower arrangement looks lush and real! Love the greenery in the clear vase.
No. 4 This mini daisy arrangement makes me think of springtime. It also comes in all white or all yellow.
No. 5 I love the attention to detail on this pink orchid arrangement. Each petal has an intricate design.
No. 6 More faux peonies, but this time in a lighter pink.
No. 7 Pretty colors, cute round vase and available on Prime.
No. 8 I love that this cutie comes in a blue and white jar.
No. 9 Amazing price point of $35 for this full white orchid arrangement
No. 10 Petite and pretty anemone arrangement for $20!
No. 11 I think this would look so cute on a window still or anywhere for someone that loves rustic accents. Currently an extra 25% off with code HOME.
No. 12 This pink and orange faux flower arrangement looks like something I would have made on my own.
No. 13 This is the style of small arrangements I currently use for styling. They are only $10 and the perfect pop of color in a photo.
Stay strong everyone! We are in this together! Hope you are all well!
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.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]

However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
