SOME EYE CANDY FOR YOU: FLOWERS & FASHION

There is no better accessory for a space than fresh flowers!  Every year I look forward to my peonies blooming, then the lilacs and hydrangeas.. I love to cut some and use them around my home.  But then I am so bummed when the die, I always say I will invent something that you can spray on real flowers when they look perfect so they will stay that way forever!  Or maybe someone already has I don't know about it yet PLEASE let me know!  (I know the other answer would be fake flowers but they just don't have the same affect for me)

Last week I found these beautiful roses at the grocery store.  They are were the most perfect shade of champagne with a hint of pink lining the tips.....


and I tried perfectly pink potted flowers thinking they would last longer... Nope..


so instead I pin flowers on Pinterest....

  1. I'll take you flowers and fashion anyday! You have such a great eye for both!
    In answer to you batten board question... Wayne and I added a filler piece of base molding before adding the original molding back to the wall. This beefed up base molding. It's hard to explain. If you goto my blog and look under my Laundry room tag you can see photos of the finished room!
    Longing for a pj day myself!
