Are you in the mood for a change in your home? Me Too!!!

Sometimes we need to think about making small changes instead of major changes to our homes.



Even a small change can make us feel inspired, and give us a whole new outlook.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate to be appealing, or to make a difference.
Bringing in some fresh flowers, or greenery is just one way that can make a room feel more inviting, and happy.

Simple flower arrangements are my quick fix!

How I do it!!





  • Determine which rooms will you and/or your guest be in the most.

  • Look in the room and see where you eye goes first. This is the place you will put your fresh flowers.
  •  Remember these are small, simple arrangements   so they need an area they can call their own.

  • Decide what color will make that area pop!


    Now for the fun part!

    Look in your yard to see if you have any pretty greenery that could be added to a small vase.

    A few small flowers are all that are needed, just pick two or three little flowers.

    Next time you go to the grocery store, pick up a small bunch of flowers. I prefer all of one type or color, it seems to make more of a statement for the least amount of effort.

    Add some sequins to the water!!
