Well, you all saw the Pier 1 console table I bought because it was 50% off to accent the kitchen. My mother-in-law gave me a dozen of yellow (my favorite color!) roses. The green paint in our kitchen (Benjamin Moore Fernwood Green) is the perfect backdrop for the yellow blooms. This created a great citrus-ey palette –so cheerful!
You know I love me some sparkle, so a metallic runner completed the look.
Well, we moved into our house a month and a half ago, buying only “necessities” (and the occasional impulse buy) which didn’t include flower vases. What’s a girl to do?
I chopped the stems and popped them into a couple of clear drinking glasses and placed them on top of white appetizer plates to make them look more polished.

love the added sparkle!
I cant wait till I have a house I can make my own. I’m in an apartment now and Im making no attempt to decorate. I mean, who knows I long I will live there, ya know?

I’d start decorating now. Then when you end up moving, you have stuff to decorate with. We moved in with nothing but kitchen gadgets from my bridal shower, a hand me down table, and a framed picture. Everything is sooo expensive, so it takes a while to accumulate. Our house is nowhere near where I’d like it to be. Just an idea = ) Thanks for stoppin by LeeLee! (I love the cloud high five today!!!)

I love love love your table. And I always trim my flowers nice and short. It’s my favorite look!

Me too. I never understood the whole “Pay extra for long stemmed roses” thing. I like them short blooms, nice & sleek. We have good taste!
