Home Decor, Fresh Vignettes

Nothing brings instant freshness to a space like flowers…but you don’t have to spend a fortune~

Put together whatever you have available…

The yellow vase is elevated on a ceramic tier which holds fruit and additional blooms tucked in around the base.  Candlesticks hold additional blooms instead of candles.  The bright blue runner {2 kitchen towels} really sets off the green and yellow, making a dramatic statement
