I don't know about you but I could not live without fresh flowers in my home. Every couple of weeks my husband goes out to the market and buys a few bunches of flowers and we make bouquets throughout our home. He is the best at picking the freshest flowers and he is pretty good at arranging them too! I usually buy white flowers, but in the summer I love a bunch of bright flowers on the table or some of the fresh flowers, hydrangeas and peonies, from my garden.

I was so happy to see that Holly from Decor 8 had a new book out and it's all about how to decorate your home using flowers. I have her other books and I just love them and I also love her blog here. Such great ideas here on using different containers, putting together different flowers and decorating a space with flowers. There are tips on how to get playful with flowers and how to create arrangements that are uncomplicated and inexpensive without sacrificing style. Take a look at some of the images from the book and visit their website Decorate With Flowers here...

I love fresh flowers and always have many bouquets on hand in my home. I love the effect of combining green and white in a bouquet and have some great examples of how to use these throughout you home. How come flowers don't smell much anymore? I don't find they smell like they did when I was young..just pondering..

I also think flowers look good in many different containers. You can pretty much use anything depending on what kind of look you are going for. I like to use white or clear vases (oh really Trudy?? so suprising) and to use them in combination on the table when I am setting it for a supper with company.

Take a look and be inspired..xx
