Time Off


I'm enjoying some time off with my family this week for Easter. 



{We're not here...  but how great would that be?!   ...image by Coastal Living }


{Still, I've got it made with my little guys & some quality time.  With just over a month left until we have Baby #3, I'm really feeling the need to give as much attention as possible to my 2 yr old & 4 yr old.  I know how nutty it gets once baby gets here!!}


Enjoy the rest of your week &  happy Easter to you & your family!!

Easy Breezy Leaves

I'm often drawn to photos of rooms that feature massive leaves.  The give a room an easy breezy, relaxed feel (that's often tropical, depending upon the leaves.)

An arrangement of massive leaves is one of the easiest to make & it has a huge impact on a space.


I have a big suppliy of hosta leaves in my yard & so they end up in my photographed spaces fairly often...



I grouped them together in demijohns on this workspace in my client's living room:




Another great source for oversized leaves is the potted plants section of Home Depot/ Lowe's.    Sadly, I'm a plant killer (they die slow dry deaths at my house) but I don't feel as bad when I cut up the plant for arrangements like this one I did in a client's living room on the ottoman:


I wish I could squeeze this post packed with photos of gorgeous rooms that feature big cut leaves, but I have to run for the day!!  Have a good one!!
