Invite a touch of Spring Into Your Home

.  .  .

The beauty of the spring season is upon us, bare branches have been replaced with emerging soft green leaves and buds.  Colorful flowering bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and blue bells are blooming and brightening the landscape around us. By bringing a little bit of spring flowers inside, we can enjoy the season even more. The use of flowers is one of the simplest ways to set the mood and change the decor of a room. For me, it’s like having a little bit of sunshine inside the house on a gray and rainy day. The selections at my local grocery stores have been a joy to see and in abundance.  Recently I spotted these soft yellow and white double-flowered tulips {above left} there and decided to pick up a few bundles to bring home. Without having to fuss much with them but to clip a little bit off the bottom of each one of the stems and provide a pretty container filled with water, they were ready to be on display.  Flowers such as hyacinths {right, bottom} will fill the room with natural fragrance. Pink mascari bulbs {right, top} were used in an arrangement as a part of the table centerpiece, here. There are many ways to invite a touch of spring into your home, here I have shared a few simple ideas that I hope you will enjoy.

To give these daffodils structure and interest, the stems were gathered together and tied with a rubber band and place in a glass vase at an angle. A small bundle of flowers can brighten a corner of a room or any other part of the house.

I purchased these hyacinth bulbs with the intention of replanting them in another container and bring them inside the house.  As I started to assemble the bulbs, our chicken came to see what I was doing.  She is a curious one and very friendly.  When I’m outside, she will follow me around and wait for me to give her something wonderful to eat, especially when I’m digging.

A beautiful flower arrangement doesn’t have to be time consuming  or expensive.  By picking just one or two types of fresh flowers like these tulips will create an elegant and beautiful bouquet. Less time and big impact.

I hope you enjoy the spring season!
