White wallflowers
October 14th, 2009 -- Posted in house to home, pics | 3 Comments »This beautiful home decor project was made possible by my awesome friend Trina, who managed to track down these products here in Canada after I’d seen them online. 
The flowers attach to your walls with small nails and have little spacers to allow them to stick out enough. I used almost one whole set of them on this “hallway” (if you can call it that in an open space house like ours) but have a few of them stashed away for my bathroom.
Oh, and also added to the whole design was the white frames and mirrors. They weren’t in the original plan, but they totally jumped out at me when I saw them at the store (on sale, no less!), since I was in the midst of doing the wallflowers (I think at that point I’d had them temporarily adhered to the walls with stick tack so my DH could OK the concept first before we put actual holes in the wall). And with a little re-arranging they fit right in and were a perfect match!!
Both the flowers and the frames worked super well with my existing strié glaze effect in the French Cream paint. It comes together to create a really soothing look that I still really enjoy seeing every day.
Also, the last framed circle is now filled with a collage of our very favourite babies (4 babies all born in 2008 and 2009 to friends of ours from high school!!!) – Eve, Hannah, Taimi, and Logan.
I think we had all this done by the beginning of September but I am just getting around to taking and posting pics now. The decorating has definitely slowed down but we are still slowly working through all that needs to be completed. I’m trying to enjoy the planning, designing, and browsing online for furniture and decor I like ( would you still call it window shopping if you’re looking online? as long as no one with a PC tries to call it “Windows shopping” I guess). I figure so what if the pace is slow and it takes us years to decorate the whole house? It’s rare to have the chance to bring colour and life to so many blank canvases so I’m focused on making many parts of the process as pleasing as I hope the end results will be.
