{Orange Lamp Update & Bright Blooms}

Happy Thursday, Friends. We've nearly reached the weekend...wahoooo! Today I wanted to show you the shade I decided on for my orange lamp. Well, I went for a simple, but very scrummy white drum silk shade in the end. I wanted to let the base shine and bask in it's bright fabulousness! Thanks again for helping me think through the options - you guys are the best.

Now, let's check out the fresh blooms I've teamed up next to it. Inspired by last week's Colour Cocktail, I picked up soft orange blooms and some fun pink roses. I'm pleased that this little space in our living room is shaping up well. Ah, this decor stuff is fun, isn't it?!

Now I'm getting settled into the new place I've had time to do relax and try out some more arrangements. This week I've gone for a contrasting visual: vibrant yellow roses, softened with some white stems, held proudly upright by a tall and sleek black gloss vase. This really brings my living room to life!

Normally this feature is about documenting my journey of experimenting and learning about decorating homes with flowers, but this week I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous red poppies from my garden with you. It was a gloriously sunny day, the sky so blue you wanted to swim in it, which framed this group of red poppies perfectly. Seeing these sway peacefully in the light breeze made my day!

I love this little spot by the butler sink. It looks out over the garden and so you can often see birds eating at the bird table, cats pawing around playfully on the lawn and, of course, there's a perfect view of all the flowers. A fresh bunch of lavender is perfectly framed by the square window frames. It smells pretty darn good, too.

We've nearly reached the weekend guys... one more sleep! I took some downtime last night to arrange some fresh orange roses for this week's Bright Blooms post. Flowers bring me a lot of happiness and I'm keen to learn more about them, so if you read any great floristry blogs, I'd love for you to let me know.

Here's my latest flower arrangement, which I enjoyed doing last Sunday evening. As I came to pop them by the window, the evening sun suddenly burst through the clouds and the blooms looked great with the backlight effect of the sun.

I think this is my favourite arrangment yet because it's been making me smile each time I see it!

I teamed simple white and yellow blooms for my flower arrangement this week. They seem to look best in the early evening sun...

These are the flowers in my bedroom; I love how the orange roses offset the turquoise vase. I felt like sharing them because they've been making me smile all week.
