I have extremely enjoyed the last several weeks and finally getting to enjoy some fruits of our labor. We have been in our home now for about 2.5 years and have been tacking on plant after plant, year after year. I have had a few questions about our hydrangeas from here and from instagram {ps, you can find me: missdixie30}, and I have to tell you that this year is the first year these babies have bloomed like this. My mom has a ton of hydrangeas too, and hers are having a good year as well. Hydrangea lovers, be patient...give them a little time and care and they will bloom! I'm a believer now.
I have been bringing in fresh flower after flower and enjoying every bit of it. I hope you aren't tired of these pics just yet! This is one of the first groups I brought in...
The night before this next arrangement, I read
Southern Living's June issue and picked up this great idea. Cut hosta leaves for a simple and chic centerpiece, even for your dining room table. I love them on our coffee table and mine lasted almost a week. Seriously, anyone can put this look together and I think everyone should.
I also added some fresh hydrangeas in my favorite Kate Spade vase.
This variety blooms shades of pink and is called a Mini Penny.
Can you tell I'm obsessed with my little TJ Maxx ceramic elephant? Are you sick of him yet?
Unfortunately, the hydrangeas didn't last as long as the hosta leaves. To keep things fresh, I tossed the hydrangeas and simply added a few of our roses to the hosta vase. The darker pink are knock out roses, and the coral is a variety I'm not sure of...a friend bought us for our anniversary last year.
This weeks variety...the blue and white hydrangea is called a peppermint twist. I bought a few of these for myself and for my Mom several years ago. They have been tiny in years past compared to what they are now. Still using the same vase as seen above {bought on sale at Pier 1 this spring}.
I mentioned in my last
coffee table post I like to switch things out. I found that
ikat pillow at World Market this past weekend, for 19.99. I am all about decorating for American holidays and summer, so I'm happy to see a switch towards our patriotic colors. Ps- the cheetah pillows were ordered with my sofa, but just came in a month or so ago {they have been sitting in a bag in the garage!}...silly, silly me.
So, that's the latest on our coffee table...not much else has changed around our house! I can only hope that we get to enjoy these beautiful flowers all summer long, I feel spoiled already!
Happy hump day y'all! xo.
