Add Some Flowers!

February 9, 2016 by Amber Filed Under: #projectvintagegem, amber b design, amber b design at home, design, flowers, interior design, personal design style, sarah heppell photography 7 Comments

Just when we thought spring weather was around the corner over here, it started snowing today! It doesn’t show any sign of letting up, so I thought it would be fun to bring spring inside. The best way I know how to do that, is with a vase of fresh flowers. Flowers instantly warm up a room, any time of year. I am always drawn to the flower section of our grocery store, because I know what an impact they make to any room in your home. When I had our home and Project Vintage Gem photographed, I added some fresh flowers to most of the spaces. Boy did that make a difference! That and the wonderful photography talents of Sarah Heppell. 🙂 So, here’s a round up of rooms that bring that spring time vibe, even if it’s freezing cold where you are!!

    Fresh flowers always bring me “up!”(faux just doesn’t do that, even though I’m not adverse to using them) Speaking of your Vintage Gem Project, I finally got the West Elm Origami coffee table! I love it so! I was so afraid they’d discontinue it before I could afford to purchase it. I caught a “sale,” and am a very happy camper! Things can be discontinued and sold out suddenly. That happened last week with a very popular PB linen drapery that went on sale. As I was ordering it online, it got sold out. I called PB customer service. Sure enough, it is discontinued. So, quickly, I tried ordering one panel from PB and got the mate to make a pair on eBay. So, I have the proud distinction of getting this VERY last curtain panel at PB! Whew! I couldn’t find anything else I liked as much, so kept researching and it worked out. I couldn’t afford the matching cordless Roman shade from PB, so I ordered a smaller panel off eBay and will cover a new cordless shade I purchased (on sale @ JCP). I’m “workin’ it!

    What I originally planned to comment about (before getting carried away) was seeing your woven blinds on the windows. I actually am going to grab the ones I have in my car for Goodwill back out! Since I moved and the new place has no storage, I’ve been purging. They look identical to yours. I wanted to use them but they weren’t wide enough to fit the window as one piece. I didn’t think about splitting them on my window as you have (they were originally on French doors). They look great that way! I would really have kicked myself if I’d gotten rid of them before seeing your post today! Thank you, Emily, for helping even when you weren’t trying. ;-D

      I’m so glad you were able to purchase the coffee table! It is such a fun shape. And great score on the Pottery Barn drapes, too!! Glad I was able to help with the woven shades dilemma. 🙂 That made my day!

    I’m waiting for spring to come to my kingdom. Going to get some flowers or better wait till Valentine’s day. This winter was so annoying. Brick walls look so spartan.

    I love fresh flowers too but never knew how to put tulips in a vase. I love how you use a wide mouth vase and kind of let the tulips droop over! They look so pretty like that and I am going to buy some this weekend for myself for Valentine’s Day! I love hydrangeas too and you used a wide mouth vase for those and just cut them shorter than I would have thought – thank you so much for all your ideas!

    Amber I am with you on adding some flowers. Especially in winter! Whenever I go to Trader Joes I always get myself a bunch or two and spread them around the house. They definitely bring a little joy to a space!

Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside

Show houses are so fun to visit to gain inspiratio Show houses are so fun to visit to gain inspiration. I could probably write a whole blog post on the fun, new ideas I have for our home over the next few years. But I also think it’s meaningful to find joy with the changes you have already made in your spaces and to reflect on how far it’s come. When I walk into our family room, I feel at home. It makes me smile and it’s one of those spaces where I don’t want to change a thing. I think it’s worthwhile to celebrate being content and feeling joy in your home just as it is! Celebrate that corner of your room that took a while to get just right. Finding joy and contentment along the way and during the process makes the end result that much sweeter! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #loveyourhabitat
