Flower Arrangements

I read recently that one of the best things you can do for your home is buy a fresh flower arrangement each week.  Although I love the concept, I find it isn’t always the best idea for the budget!:)  I do however, like to peruse  the fresh flower section of the grocery store just to see if they have any great bargains on pretty little flowers…

So, I was thrilled beyond words when I walked into the house the day before Valentine’s Day to discover this on my kitchen table:

As I started to arrange the flowers, I wasn’t sure where I was going to put such a LARGE bouquet.  Then, it hit me!  I could finally have fresh flowers in every room of the house!:)

I carefully separated the flowers based on color and type, and then just put them in pretty containers I had sitting around.

Here’s how 1 bouquet became 6!:

The white flowers all went into some pretty painted jars and nestled into a wooden tray with some pink pompom garland.

It’s sitting on the fireplace mantel in my office (and is smiling at me right now!:)).

The pink carnations went into a tall painted jar and is a pretty contrast to the blue wall in the main bathroom.

There was a whole bunch of beautiful greenery, so some of it was put into a pitcher and sits on a kitchen shelf.

This pretty lilly greets you as you walk through the door and sits on the entryway dresser.

This pretty red arrangment is on the kitchen table:

And last (but not least!) this little  vase of red carnations is perched on a stack of old books in the living room:

Do you like to decorate with pretty little flowers, too?  If so, which room do you most often put them in?
