I have a problem. No matter how hard I wish and try, I can't keep any plants alive. I've lost count of the number of times I've bought lovely, whimsical flowers for our patio, only to have them die within a few weeks. Like I keep explaining to Mike, it's not so much about the flowers. To me, flowers make a home. They're a sign to the outside world of "A family lives and flourishes here."
So, since my lovely pink cosmos gave up the ghost this week, I'll have to find some other way to make our apartment feel like a home. Here are some of my recent favourites:
Painted Piano: Even though I can barely tinkle out a hymn, a piano is definately a statement piece for a home -- especially when it's lovely and green.
Log Cabin Quilt in frames: Don't these remind you of Mom's quilts? But in a modern, sleek way?
Pantry Redo: I especially dig the baking trolley with the KitchenAid Mixer! When I eventually have a mixer and pantry, you better believe we'll be rocking the trolley idea.
What little things make your apartment more 'homey'?
