We Can Arrange That, Giving the Gift of Flowers

Fall is one of my favorite seasons in Northern California, the weather is cooling off and being outside is finally tolerable. Temperatures in Sacramento during the Summer months are usually in the 100s day after day. Honestly Fall here is more like Spring, the mornings are crisp and the days are filled with endless sunshine. 

Another reason I love celebrating fall is my wedding Anniversary! My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary; this time of year it brings back so many happy memories and stressful ones! I can remember many late nights working on invitations, spending endless hours planning out every single detail of the wedding day. So much stress! Of course, then I remember the look on my husband’s face as my dad walked me down the aisle of the garden we got married in and I’m reminded of all those happy moments, saying our vows and walking has husband and wife for the first time. Fun Fact, we celebrated our Wedding reception in our backyard – a cocktail reception fantastic food, good drinks and yummy cake. 

I love celebrating moments big and small with flowers and creating new memories. I love walking into my living room and seeing a pretty arrangement of flowers on my coffee table to mark a special occasion. 

I'm so thrilled I received a pretty bouquet of flowers hand delivered to me complementary from FTD Flowers, all opinions are my own (please read Sponsored post policies in sidebar) I’m in love with this arrangement; it reminded me of my wedding bouquet a mixture of hydrangeas, rose. I love the burst of color the snapdragons added to the handcrafted bouquet made by FTD Flowers.

Small Home Style: The Sofa Daybed

Welcome to another edition of Small Home Style, where I share design solutions for small on the small side. I started the series Small Style to inspire other small home dwellers to celebrate living small and offer design solutions for their spaces. As a small home dweller myself, I know first hand the design challenges a small space can present. It's so important a space not only looks good but also works in real life. 

When looking for furniture for your living room, consider thinking outside the box and opt for a daybed your space. Daybeds are a fantastic solution for small areas, not only can they be used as sofas they can double as a bed. You can use a daybed in your living room was an alternative to a couch or an in office that doubles as a guest room. 

Below are two types of daybeds to consider for a small space: Traditional Daybed with a Twin bed, or a Modern Daybed Sofa. 

Traditional Daybed 

I love how the twin daybeds look in this loft; they provide lots of seating without taking up a lot of floor space in the living room allowing for extra furniture. Daybeds look incredible all dressed with pillows, the more pillows, the merrier.

Modern Daybed Sofa

I love the look of modern fully upholstered daybed sofas; they can float in rooms or can be placed against walls and loaded up with pillows for extra comfort.

This daybed looks so pretty floating in the living room, comfortable enough to lounge on and also comfortable to sit on. Love this look.
