Hi Kristy!
It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is ,your home always looks amazing . I tend to agree with Oprah about faux flowers, however I’m going to give it a try. The faux flowers in your home look beautiful and inviting . Thank for sharing !

I keep the faux tucked away when I’m not using them and then when I need some brightening and I don’t have time for fresh, I pull them out. All flowers really do make me happier… no matter the type. :) Hugs!
Hi Kristy,
I totally agree with faux flowers.They are so similar to real one’s and I love to decorate with them. Candles extend my daylight, especially now where it still gets dark at 5 p.m.
If that does not help…….”do more of what makes you happy”…….like redecorating every corner….read a good book and drink what makes you happy.
Hi Gillian,
I usually stack them in a closet in the garage but any shelf will work. I try not to put them on top of one another so that they stay looking nice. For the single stems – I do what you do. I carefully lay them inside of a large plastic bag on their side, and lay them on top of a bin on a shelf without hurting the petals. Sounds like we do the same thing! xx
Thanks for this post, Kristy!!! I get fresh flowers each week from the grocery store and they really brighten my home and make me feel happy! Fresh flowers are a must in my home. I use to get faux one as well, but you are right the quality is so much better now. I will give them another try as well!
Your home is so beautiful every room!
Thank you, Annette
Hi Kristy! My very favourite are white tulips!!! They look beautiful at anytime of the year, even at Christmas with a few springs of evergreen. I like a huge bouquet in my kitchen and one on the table in my foyer…sometimes in the powder room as well. Sorry…I’m of the same opinion as Oprah about faux flowers, although I must say that PB’s hydrangeas look pretty good!
If I had the money Oprah has I would buy fresh flowers every day! But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with cosying up your home with faux , there is an amazing range of real touch flowers available today. Enjoying your Instagram and blog Kristy❤️??
Hi Annie,
Thank you for stopping by the blog & commenting! I totally agree.. I would have beautiful flowers delivered to my doorstep ;)
Thank you so much for the kind words… you’re so sweet.

In the Summer and Fall, I use my peonies and hydrangeas on my kitchen island and in my foyer. I must admit, I never buy fresh flowers in the winter but might stop by Trader Joe’s to see what they have!
Is you potted palm real or faux? It looks great! Your home is beautiful.
Thanks Donna… my fiddle fig is faux from World Market. PB also has a great faux. I love getting real flowers for my main rooms when I think of it during these late winer months. It’s amazing how happy flowers make you feel. :) That being said, I love how faux flowers always look soooo good. LOL ;)

I love this, Sabine. I have candles lit every night too! Cheers to flower power. hugs xx
Love these faux option! How do you store them when not in use? I end up putting mine in a large plastic bag. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, dust collectors!

I use faux around the house, white hydrangeas are my favorite too. I do love fresh flowers,tulips are my favorite they remind me of Spring.
I love all of those too Wendy! Thanks so much for commenting! xx
