What a difference a bloom makes (1).

3 long stemmed proteas in a toning tall glass vase

A new series about flowers in the home, hence the title "what a difference a bloom makes".

  

Easy ways to add impact with a single bloom or with a bunch, in a simple way or with an elaborate arrangement.      The home is only really a home once the finishing touches are added i.e. the scatter cushions, rugs, lamps, ornaments and objets, but even still, in my mind, nothing makes a room come alive until you add flowers to the space.       Here are some examples of arrangements and or types of things you can do to add a little life to your living spaces.
