All things decoration: small creations with flowers, accessories and reused materials

Wie war mein Sommer…

In diesem Sommer in meiner freien Zeit hatte ich eine Menge  zu tun: ich habe meinem Haus renoviert und ich bin froh, dass der Herbst ist immer noch mit der Sommer Temperatur bleibt, so habe ich mehr Zeit meine Projekte zu beenden.

Mein Garten ist immer noch  Super-blumig, und ich habe bereits für Herbst dekoriert mit Blumen, die ich in mein Garten gepflückt habe. Ich werde euch auch den neuen Look meiner Veranda zeigen. Ich hoffe es euch gefällt, die Ideen und die Blumen Arrangements…

Nesse verão tive muito o que fazer, no meu tempo livre decorei a minha casa, e fico feliz que o outono ainda está com temperatura de verão assim isso me da  mais tempo pra terminar  meus projetos. Meu jardim ainda esta super florido, e eu ja decorei para outono com flores que colhi no meu jardim, e agora  vou lhe mostrar tambem o novo look do minha varanda, meu jardin tambem está de cara nova, espero que voces curtam as ideas e arranjos florais…

The charm of the Peonia

The Peonia is an amazing flower: it is so charming that only one is enough to give a good feeling at home. I am anxious for the Summer to finally arrive, because I miss this wonderful flower so much: here in Germany they are only sold when the weather is warm!

We still have Siberian cold, so it will take long before I can decorate my house with some beautiful Peonias…

How to recycle and old valueless book…

I had so many books without value on the floor in the living room, so I decided to make some use of them, creating a decorative garland for our front door!

The making is quite easy: you need only some cardboard, the old book that you don’t mind sacrificing, hot glue gun and of course the hot glue round bars, and some patience.

First, let’s get a book from that pile in the corner…

A nice table decoration with Hyacinths

This winter was Siberian cold here, and we were the whole time blocked at home. I desperately wanted to have a little bit of spring feeling, so I started searching inside the carton boxes I use to gather all the unused decoration elements from the years past. I came across a couple of sea snail shells, and since I had a couple of Hyacinths in a small vase i put them together inside a bigger wave, adding some moss. The final effect was better than I though, and it did indeed give me a warm feeling of Spring coming.

I placed the vase on top of our dining table, and it made a wonderful tale decoration, don’t you think?

Decorative rose arrangement

Decorative flower arrangement
Decorative flower arrangement

An easy to make decorative rose arrangement, of great effect and small cost.

You will need:

  • 1 french cup shaped vase, or any other similar vase
  • 1 complete piece pf plug mass (lay the plug mass in a small bucket full of water and let it absorb it, but do not force it with the hands to avoid air bubbles inside the structure)
  • 13 purple roses
  • 12 white roses
  • Viburnum tinus (Evergreen Snowball)
  • Pittosporum tenuifolium 

Fix all the elements into the plug mass in a half-circle manner, alternating the roses, beginning with the purple rose in the middle and creating an X pattern. Arrange the flowers as in the picture, and fill the gaps with the Evergreen Snowball. And do not forget to water.
