Favorite Vases for Flowers

So fun fact, for the past several months I've either downgraded my normal Venti vanilla latte to a non tall fat latte with no added flavors or skipped having one altogether. So less money spent weekly on what I used to deem as 'critical' latte is now spent on flowers. Totally a win win for my soul and my house looks so good dressed in flowers. Over the weekend, I picked up a few new vases to keep my flower-loving-buying heart happy, which got me thinking of my favorite vases. Some I own, and some our on my dream wish list.

The Flower Recipe Book

On my Amazon wishlist, I finally treated myself to the book and couldnt be happier, its filled with all the details my flower arranging heart needed to know. Its filled with so many ideas and all the tips needed to create your own lovely arrangements

This weekend, stop by your local market and pick up a little bouquet of flowers for your home or better yet snip some from your garden. You'll be amazed with how much flowers brighten a room, and while some may think buying flowers is frivolous expense, I say its good for the soul! Enjoy the long weekend. 

The Pleated Look

Lately, I've been very drawn to pleated drapes for my bedroom. Right now, I have some basic Ikea curtains that used to reside in our living room, way back when and live in my bedroom. They were a temporary fix, that has long over stayed their welcome. Now that I've decided they've got to go, I've been thinking about what drapery style I want in on my bedroom window and french doors. I keep going back and forth between the classic look of pinch pleated drapes or inverted box pleat drapes. Either look, I plan to update my hardware with something like this [ but in black ] and use attach rings to the pleats. 

I love the look of inverted box pleat drapes, they have this classic look with modern edge. I'm totally crushing hard on this drapery style.

I'm also loving the classic look on pinch pleat drapes paired with ring pulls, are have that extra air of sophistication I love.
