Home Decor: Flower Feature

I recently discovered  flower delivery by BloomNation and was inspired to do a post on how I use flowers to decorate my home. I love to decorate and I often use flowers to decorate my home and my personal space. With inspiration from BloomNations social media sights such as Pinterest and Instagram I began thinking of more ideas and ways to use flowers in my home decor.

First a little about my thoughts on flowers:

I love poppies and lilies

I enjoy flower prints

I think flowers add charm to any room

With a couple of ideas in mind I headed to the craft store in search of flowers and some more ideas. I quickly found them. I was drawn to the fall colors where I found some shades of pink I really liked. I bought them in long stems and had a perfect vase in mind.

This is my dresser in my bedroom. This is one of my favorite pieces. I found it at a furniture resale shop and scored it for $50. It's banged up and has character. I am a lover of antique flea markets and consignment shops. I love any piece of furniture with some character. The vintage look can be found throughout my house. 

Starting in my bedroom...

The vase I was talking about it an empty bottle of wine. It looks like a cat. I absolutely love it. The wine was very good as well, a Riesling... my favorite white.

Meow.

Also on my dresser a dried up bouquet can be found. This bouquet is from my best friends' wedding. I was bridesmaid in their wedding a couple of years ago. I loved the bouquet and have kept it displayed ever since. I think it gives the top of my dresser that vintage feeling. Also that is a vintage train case that I found at a flea market. I love it. It holds all of my spare makeup that I have on hand but are not a part of my every day used makeup.

I have many of these little vases around. In the summer I had wild flowers displayed in them. Now that it's fall and chilly outside those flowers are gone. I tried to recreate that look here with a touch of fall color in the mix. Plus a painting I did awhile back of some lilies, which are my favorite flowers.

Next up in my bathroom. I must say first my bathroom is my most favorite decorated room in my house. The mint green tiles are just the cherry on top. Last year at the Mount Dora craft fair I found these wild flowers.

They are dried and dead and give off that straw smell but I love the colors. My bathroom colors are blue, tan, and green. This splash of color adds to the overall look of my bathroom. I have them displayed in a vase on top of the toilet.

In the hallway outside my bedrooms are some flower paintings I did.

Another little vase in my office with wild flowers in it.

With a few more flower touches in my office space.

In my dining room are my house plants. I brought the peace lily all the way from my old apartment in Florida.

Basil and Rosemary. I want to add a thyme plant to my herb garden. And one day I eventually will.

This is my gnome and his friend the fox. I would like to add a couple more friends to my mix as well.

A few fall table decorations throughout the kitchen and dining room with some trimmed stalks of basil.

In my kitchen I have a flower in an empty hard root beer bottle, Not Your Father's Root Beer. I mean finally them come out with this stuff, taste just like root beer but its alcoholic. Delicious.

I also have a bonzi tree, a mint plant, and a beautiful air plant.

If you have never heard of BloomNation, flower delivery by BloomNation supports local florists through their online marketplace. They send fresh blooms from local florists to your doorstep or office space. I have checked out the bouquets online and must say they do some incredible work and have some amazing florists working for them. I even checked out their blog 5th & Hollyhock, which you can find here. There you can find all things flowers from playlists including flowers in the title to beautiful bouquets, even fashion finds in flower prints. Like these floral leggings. Next time you are looking to deliver flowers to that special someone or someone in need of some flowers check out BloomNation and support local florists in your area.

As the seasons change I will do an updated version of this blog post.

Again I am grateful for BloomNation reaching out to me.

This was a fun post to do.

And gives me an chance to show you a little inside my home.

And how I display flowers.

I only get so many hours of daylight and I am at work 9 hours a day.

By the time I get home it is already getting dark.

That doesn't leave me a lot of good light to get pictures.

It happened to be particularly sunny that day and I wanted to get these pictures done.

So I came home on break one day to capture these pictures.

Namaste.
