Books: Interior Emotions {Creative Lovely Blooms}
December 17, 2014
By now you must have surmised I have no eye
or talent for gardening, floral arranging, or
keeping vegetation alive.
I have three plants hanging on for dear life right now:
elephant bush and two angel plants...heaven help me.

So I have the utmost admiration for those of you
who excel at such magic.

These creative arrangements make me smile.

So does a new book which just arrived chock full
of inspiration from a true master: Per Benjamin.
With truly original ideas and innovation, this chic volume
proves an interior can go from a simple room to an
environment living, breathing, and emoting with style.
Stichting Kunstboek, 2014
Here are the particulars for all of you lovers of blooms:
Interior Emotions (ACC Distribution) by Per Benjamin,
Max van de Sluis, and Tomas De Bruyne.

Not in the book but just right for
my skill level and what I happen to have on hand.

Do you have a go-to floral arrangement for the holidays?

All are gorgeous...I do love white amaryllis and paperwhites this time of year, add a Little evergreen and maybe a few ornaments for some bling..and you have yourself a "sure thing"....given your immense talents in so many areas, something tells me you coudl put together one gorgeous arrangement!
ReplyDeletei can put fresh roses in a vase with water. i love your paperwhites in your beautiful blue and white pieces, tina!
DeleteI love the use of
ReplyDeletefresh greens for
Christmas, but it's
tough to keep them
fresh for long with
the dryness from the
furnace! Someday
I'd love to live somewhere
more humid, where
they'd last longer....
If I did, I'd use mounds
of holly on mantles,
cedar and Frasier Fir
for the scent, tuck in
magnolia behind picture
frames, and of course,
line window sills with
pots and pots of forced
bulbs!
Hope you are having
a relaxed and calm week,
my friend!

DeleteI do not get to our library as much as I would like, but if one of THESE libraries were nearby ----- I WOULD LIVE THERE!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine walking into any one of them --- the smell would envelope me and it would be a
totally religious experence, I am certain!
