Artistic Flower Arrangements

This year our magnolia tree has more blooms than ever. Maybe the lack of a draught this year had a lot to do with it. All the trees and flowers have been lush and green. Getting up each day is such a pleasure, to be able to stand out on the front porch and looks at natures beauty.

Here it is still the winter season and we’re getting tornado warnings!  Worst yet the storm today did scare me a bit.  Around 2pm I was sitting at the ol’ computer looking out the window, when all of a sudden  huge gust of wind came through.  It managed to knock over the water fountain in the front yard and move a rather large planter I have on the front porch.  A few minutes later we lost power.  It did not come back on until 3 hours later.   When power did come on, I turned on the TV and saw news stories about the storm damage to different parts of Tennessee.  I am thankful that we had no serious damage to our home, however, I can’t say that about some other folks in the area.  Lots of trees and power lines were down as well as a few roofs blown away.

In my previous post I have discussed about bringing the beauty of flowers into your bedroom .

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.

This would look great hanging from a chain.
