As much as I miss my old friend Freeway, hubby and I adopted a new gal by the name of Chloe. She is a 3 year old mountain cur mix and a delight to have. We got her from our local shelter on August 20th. Unfortunately, she had been an abused gal for most of her 3 years, and was kept caged and used as a puppy mill. She is the sweetest, gentlest dog and it infuriates me to think that there are people out there who will do such things to a dog. Her front teeth are very short from gnawing on the cage. She is extremely skittish, and will jump at the slight sound or moves. It will take some time for her to overcome her past, but we are patient. She is just now starting to gain our trust, but if we make to fast of a gesture she will run to her safe place under our coffee table in the living room. Her other safe place is under my desk in my office.
Right now we are playing a game, or rather she is playing a game with us on getting her out of the house and on a leash to go for her daily walk. I have to pretend that I am leaving and that she has to watch the house while hubby and I are gone. I begin to walk away and wouldn’t you know it, Chloe goes to the front door and sits until we get her leash on. Of course, sometimes she will run off as soon as I approach her to put her leash on. Then the whole process begins again, until I finally get the leash on, and turn her over to hubby to take her for her walk.
So now you know about my new family addition, and I am so glad that we found such a sweet, loveable pooch!

You’re sitting there looking around your living room and you can’t help to feel that it needs something.
The furniture is nice, the room itself looks good, but you can’t help wondering what it is that’s missing. Why not bring some life back to your living room with some fresh cut flowers? Anything from a simple arrangement to the ultra-elegant hanging crystal array, can really add that much needed something to the room.
I will leave the actual flower selection up to you, but here are a few great ideas that will bring life back to your living room:
Potted Arrangements
You don’t necessarily have to make a cut-flower arrangement; live plants will work as well. That tall concrete-look planter that you keep on your front porch will likely fit well in your living room. Choose your favorite flowers, and then plant them in a mix that fits.
Keep the planted arrangement in front of your window and you will have a year-round showpiece.
Coffee Table Pieces
That silver vase, or even that glass water jug, may make an interesting container to make a showpiece for your coffee table. If the same old arrangement doesn’t work for you, why not use a crystal bowl? Fill your bowl with water and float some fresh cut flowers. Add some floating candles for some added nighttime flare.
Hanging Arrangements
Another great idea to add some life to your living area is a hanging arrangement. Get hanging planter, or, if you do some searching you can even find crystal vases that are meant to hang. Make your fresh cut flower arrangement, and hang it up for the world to see.
Flowers are a great way to add some flare to any room. A simple arrangement can transform even that dark, drab room into so much more. Using flowers in your decorating is easy, and you’ll find your guests remembering your beautiful flower arrangements instead of noticing that the coffee table needed finishing. Even just to add some color, you cannot go wrong with a floral décor. Any room can be decorated with your next floral creation.
This is why decorating your home is an important part of making your space more inviting and comfortable. Adding flower arrangements in your home can add even more life and visual appeal that will make your home into that welcoming space that you have been looking for. Flowers can instantly add a sense of peace to a home with very little effort. Whether you use them in your bedroom, in your living room, or in another room, you will find that adding flowers will help to add just the right touch of life to your room and your home, but where should you start?
Over the next few post I will be discussing decorating ideas that might just help you to decide what to do with those drab spaces you want to liven up. I will be covering: Kitchen, Bedroom, Living Room and Other Miscellaneous Areas. So be sure to check back and find out how to bring the beauty of flowers into your home.
