A stencil work I did on a small corridor, using a hand-cut large white cardboard applied to the wall to get the outlines, and then filling it with handbrush. A nice combination of collors made a great effect lightening up the corridor and giving a new life to it.
The Brugmansia Cultivars is one of my favorite flowers. I bought mine last summer, and it was only 30cm tall. In one year, it grew to an amazing 1,5m!
The Brugmansia can be found in several color variations, like yellow, orange, pink or white. I bought mine in pink. The flower is really beautiful and it has a very nice scent, but be careful, since it is very poisonous!
The common name of the Brugmansia Cultivars is „Angel Trumpets„, due to the particular form of the flower,which resembles the musical instrument. Strangely enough, the „angel“ part of the common name is referring to the light form of the leaves, and not to the effect of the mortal effect the flower has!
An easy to make decorative rose arrangement, of great effect and small cost.
You will need:
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.
This is another very simple table decoration arrangement, with a little practice. You will need the following materials:
Create with the Aristea 4 small circles, stapling the ends to fix them, taking care that the size is roughly similar as the upper border of your vase. arrange the circles one inside the other, so to create a ball with large gaps in between the leaves.
Put the floral foam inside the vase, so that you leave approximately 2cm from the border free. Fill in the rest of the vase with moss, but take care not to press it too much. Leave it rather soft and fluffy. Put the Aristea ball on top of the vase, taking care to hide the staples inside the vase and moss. Take the rose and cut the stem on an angle, and place it inside the Aristea ball. the stem should be able to reach and be plugged into the floral foam. Do not forget to pour some water inside the vase.
Ready! simple, fast and yet effective, the table decoration is a wonderful addition to any dining room table, for the day to day meal or even for special occasions.
Some pictures I took during a fast restoration of a kitchen cupboard, with a little creativity.
