Can you spy the IKEA?

Can y'all believe this entire thing was designed with stuff form ikea? I guess its not only for the broke and the boring. Ms. Lo Bjurulf is a damn good stylist who can even make IKEA look original. Bravo.

Something for the scrapbook

Here's some decor inspiration for the scrapbook. I'm in love with the flowers, the lanterns, the dark wood, and the total eclectic feel of it in general.

How to decorate long tables (Gangsta-ly)

For lovely number, just take some jewelry wire and and mangle and twist it up (the more unorganized the better! Then, use bright colored delicate flowers to contrast with the wire. You can use real flowers or paper ones using little pieces of the wire. You can put in in a glass as in the picture, or just place it along the table. I love the way it drapes!


This wire centerpiece is a bit more tamed. First get some coiling wire from a hardware store. Then wrap it around a bucket to get a uniform coil pattern, finally, you can stretch it out on the table and secure it with ties on either end. Then, just put bright flowers with long stems between the coils.


I love the look of these birds nest inspired centerpieces. To make these, you can use big soup cans. Then, wrap them with moss and garden wire. Then, put twigs in between the wire. Then, fill the soup can with flowers with large blooms.


This centerpiece is probably the easiest and the most cost effective! Use monochromatic carnations against solid colored square vases scattered along the table.

The key to decorating long tables is to keep it interesting along the table by incorporating new designs throughout.

I've got centerpieces on the brain. I don't know why.

How adorable would these be as centerpieces? Especially if you were Russian. (alright, maybe that was a tad ignorant) What do you think? Cute? Tacky?

Only $20 for 5 at IKEA!

Centerpieces that are NOT balls of roses

I was browsing That Bride's blog, and I found these amazing centerpieces. I love the feathers, the moss, the everything. They even named each of the tables after places in their favorite books. They work so well in tall rooms, and frankly I'm over over the top flower trees.
