Bringing the Outside In

Spring is coming, or so the weathermen tell us. Today in Atlanta the forecast calls for us to reach 69 degrees F! Thinking of Spring reminds me of one of our decorating recipes for success - bring the outside in. By that we mean, fresh flowers and plants help a room to come alive - literally. Having fresh flowers and plants in the home brings the life and the beauty of nature inside. Flowers need not be fancy or extravagant (although that is fun once in a while) - a simple arrangement or house plant will suffice. Some photos to inspire -









The flowers in this Amelia Handegan living room above are simple and elegant. See mantle flowers in the mirror? (Image courtesy of Southern Accents)

These orchids on Handegan's own mantle are simple and perfect
