Floral design for corners or side tables

Hello lovely people.. Hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week. Sharing with you today is the new floral design I made in the class. I am learning the basic types..but I am so impressed by the extra ordinary creations created by the other members in the class who are learning other floral designs like European or contemporary.


Here's what I did .... It looks just adding flowers but there is some extent  of maths.. geometry involved in it.. It has to be correct or else the floral design will end up looking like a bush:)

These pictures are from the class. I took them for reference to be used when there is no instructor is guiding me..This is how the end product looked like..

These arrangement can add pizazz to any corner table or side table kept against even a bare wall!

Blue and white Summer table decor

It's getting scorching hot and humid here!! The weather forecast says that this is just the beginning as May and June are the worst months..:( Anyway..I cannot change the weather but I can change the mood in the house by creating a tablescape..

I thought why not beat the heat with a table decor which is calming and soothing to the eyes.... blue and white table setting!! It all started with the centerpiece..I created this floral design with white roses. Once this was done everything else just fell into place..

The dinner set is from India. My sister and I had bought similar sets 10-13 years back when I was a teenager..We loved it so much that we bought them thinking when we we will have our own house we will use them..Hehehee.. and we kept it in the attic of my parents house and forgot about it totally. Last year when my parents moved homes they discovered them. I brought only half of it - the plates, serving bowls and dessert bowls with me to Singapore.

I love the delicate design on the plates!! These napkin rings are from a memorable holiday in South Africa. 

I tied a bunch of flowers to the candle stand to make it more interesting!! 

The coasters are hand embroidered from Geneva. It has a pretty picture of a dancing swiss couple.   

How is the weather in your city? Hope it is not extremely hot and you could still enjoy the sun!!

Let's paint the walls this summer ..

Let's just paint our heart out on the walls..Let's make them flamboyant!!!!

Let the walls speak to you about summer.. sing a summery song to you!!!!

Let them recharge your energies which got drenched in the hot summer!!

Let the walls dazzle like the fresh blooms in summer!!

Let the walls relive the glory they once enjoyed!!

Let the walls take you on a imaginary vacation to the beautiful blue Greek island of Mykonos every time you look at them !!!!

Summer decor inspirations

I am in dire need of some inspiration for beach themed decor or summer themed decor..In busy real life this week I found little time to decorate my dining table. I love to do decor and arrangements with items available at home ..for which one does not  have to break the bank account..which is easily manageable..which involve natural elements..some memories of a beautiful vacation!!! 

So let's see what I found today...

Though the focal point of the decor at the eye level is the heavy wooden framed mirror and the candles.. soon your eyes will go towards the huge collection of sea shells on display under the console table ...Isn't it simply splendid!! Also notice the copper plant container!!!!

Botanical prints on the sofa set speak of the beautiful summer/spring days..Would be apt for places where the winter are long or for people prefer green prints in winters.. It will always feel like a green paradise in your living room..The green corner table adds charm with flowers blooming in the pots!!!

Calm blue wall with the dashing summery orchids!! The vintage mirror and the white porcelain creates a country living charm!!

This decor has inspired me to do something and use the back door area of my apartment which is totally empty with bare walls as we don't use it at all... The wet area is made so cheerful with the yellow painting on the wall and the fresh flower cuttings in the vase!!

This glorious summery look is attained by the ravishing patterns... orange striped cushions... the botanical prints on the wall ..striped carpet..the stone wall..glass vase on one counter and the wooden big vase and bowls  on the other!! I love the textured handmade wooden stool near the the bright comfy chair!!!

Charming beach theme table decor..some sea shell collected on a vacation or maybe regular strolls on the beach.... with romantic candles ...fresh flowers and the prints..also notice the cane basket under the wooden table!!

Simple yet so beautiful..would look lovely for the dining table or the living room center table!! some candles on silver candle stands and lovely plant.some summery books and viola!

The succulents with some sea shells.. Love how the combination of the plants and the paintings in the decor create the seasonal magic and elaborate the theme!

This seems like a perfect spot to curl up with a cool drink with crushed ice and maybe some fresh strawberries and read a book or comics in my case on a hot summer afternoon with a ceiling fan or a stand fan on top speed.. somehow that reminds me of my school summer holidays!!!
