WEEKEND PHOTO: TULIPS!

Flower arrangement with orange tulips and wild grass
Orange tulips and wild grass at my house. (above)

Sorry I haven’t posted in days. Had a rough week and wasn’t feeling well. Am back and better now.

I made this flower arrangement yesterday and thought you might enjoy – even if it is just for laughs!

Is this “arrangement” ugly or pretty? You tell me. I am leaning towards pretty in an ugly sort of way. 🙂

All I did was take long wild grass and wrapped it around the inside of a glass urn, then plopped in 20 orange tulips in various phase of bloom, and then threw in the rest of the grass. A disorganized modern classic floral arrangement mishmosh I think. Arrangement is a big word for these flowers as I did no arranging at all. I just put them in the urn and you can tell!

Here’s the only thing I will say…no matter how little you do with tulips or flowers they still brighten up a space and make me smile. So regardless if it is objectively ugly or pretty…these flowers hit the right emotional chord for me after a really rough and tumble week…

Still, I am interested to hear your amusing comments on these flowers though…need more laughs!

Hope you have a great weekend!

    Simply lovely! I make myself an arrangement at least once a week. Get’s me into a creative groove, smells good, changes the pace of the room and puts a smile on my face all at the same time.

    Glad to hear you are feeling better!
    Enjoy your weekend ★´¨)

    They’re beautiful although my eye was instantly drawn to your great furniture piece, white walls and table runner. What an awesome room

    I love it! Wild and free — just the way tulips and grass should be. Just the way we should be! Love the room and runner too. So glad to hear that you’re feeling better.

    Love the grass at the bottom, but not in the vase around the tulips. Maybe I’m not wild enough.

    What an awesome room! Love the decor.

    I like the idea of your arrangement, and how you bundled the grass at the bottom of the vase. Maybe bundle the tulips too next time, and throw in additional grass so there’s both a more organized and whimsical feel to it?

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.

That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
