Classic Touches

February 9, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: decor, design, free printable, fresh flowers, home, mantle, printable, Valentine's mantle, Valentine's printable, Valentines day

One of my favorite ways to add character to any room is fresh flowers! You can seriously never go wrong! My style is to decorate mostly with neutrals so adding pops of color naturally just brings my space alive!

I have a love for all flowers! They’re each so beautiful in their own way. My favorite to use around this time of the year are tulips! Tulips are dainty and delicate, but so beautiful! I love photographing and admiring them when I first put them into water because they’re drooped over somewhat lifeless, but it’s really an alluring trait about them!

You don’t have to have a special touch to create a classic arrangement. I honestly just love going to the supermarket and gathering a bunch of flowers of similar color. Some classic flowers go better together than others, but mixing it up makes it fun and fresh! Pictured, I mixed tulips, blush roses and babies breath. Not your typical combination, but I’m loving it!

French Chic Mantle Design ♥

January 19, 2015 by Fotini Filed Under: design, feminine decor, home, home decor, pink, Valentine's decor, Valentine's mantle

Come Valentine’s Day I’m usually ready to decorate with pops red, but this year I wanted to opt for a more feminine, pink design! I’ve been having fun decorating with pink lately, it makes me feel extra girly! And my husband doesn’t mind it, in moderation! 
While at my local grocery, I spotted these dainty pink carnations on clearance! I snagged two bunches for $1.99 each! I added them to my favorite ceramic pitcher; instant charm! I enjoy carnations just as much as a super expensive bloom. Although the head is smaller in size, they have many, beautiful layers that make them easy to love! I snipped the smaller ones and put them into a mercury glass votive. This mantle is simple, but beautiful. Sometimes I try to enjoy the simple things a little more!
Thank you for stopping by today, it was a real pleasure to have you!
