Bloomin' Rooms - Sweet Pea

Today for Bloomin' Rooms (trying out a new name for this topic... anyone have any other suggestions)  I brought home some simple Sweet Pea blossoms and a few left over Ranunculus pods.  I added them to my Arc Chive Vase.  Their richly colored flowers are smaller and simpler in form, but very fragrant.  I love it's clean simple look. I placed it near our TV to give us something a little more serene to look at.  So we've shown you ours... show your yours on our facebook page.  Where else in your home do you place fresh flowers?

Get This Look - Sweat Pea $2 per stem, Chive Arc Vase $13.99

Flowers @ Home

Here's is our next installment of our flowers at home! We really need a catching name for this topic....any ideas?  This time around we're checking out what Carmen is doing with flowers in her kitchen.     ~Sarah

In my kitchen this week, I chose white Asiatic lilies to go in my Chive wall vases.  I chose the white lily because it was well proportioned for the vases and it accented my maroon walls nicely. In order to make the flowers last as long as possible, I made sure to remove the stamens as soon as the lily started to open.     

To get this look:  Chive bubble wall vase - $16.99 each

                            White lily (1 stem with 3 – 4 blooms) - $6
