Floral Art

Guest post by The Artful Desperado, All & Sundry, and Tomasz Wagner.


Floral Art is a collaborative series by Vancouver blogger The Artful Desperado, Vancouver Wedding Planner All & Sundry, and Vancouver Wedding Photographer Tomasz Wagner.

This series is aimed to discover new sources of inspiration to create unique floral arrangements that are both - easy to make and totally dreamy. Constructing the arrangements with art as our guide sparks your creativity and it encourages you to visit local nurseries and shops filled with floral treasures. Can't get any more fun than that!

For this post we drew inspiration from Quatre - a collage made by Cardboardcities (one of our favorites!) . The eclectic mix of blooms will definitely add a cheerful spin to your space. There are no rules for this type of arrangement, other than go wild and let nature take over!

Flowers used in this post: red, orange, and yellow ranunculus, craspedia / billy balls, seeded eucalyptus, pink and white tulips, fuchsia spray roses, and delphinium.

Bernhardt Interiors - Gorgeous Chaises and Settees

While perusing interior designer Faith Sheridan's blog, I came across her post "Sit Back & Relax – Gorgeous Chaises and Settees." Sheridan writes
Is there anything more elegant than the chaise longue? Even the name evokes images of ancient Egyptian pharoahs being fanned and fed grapes! As a matter of fact, it is believed that the chaise longue (or long chair) originated in ancient Egypt as a combination daybed and chair.
Her post led me to look at our offerings from Bernhardt Interiors. The reason we are showing these items is that they relate to the items of Faith Sheridan's examples.

DIY: Faux Marble Table Top


This weekend I did a little makeover (IKEA hack really) on our old DOCKSTA table that was looking a little dingy.  We've had that table for over five years I think (maybe 7) and the top was showing it, definitely in stains, scuffs and dings.  So I know this is more of a temporary solution as I don't know how long this will last, but whatever it is, it's a big improvement over what we had.  Check out my before and after:


It's hard to see the stains in the picture (but trust me they're there), and yes I switched out the kitchen chairs with the dining ones (they just seemed to want to be together after this - and we don't have a dining table anyway yet).  We hope to build a nook type banquette eventually here with maybe even a real tulip table one day (dream).

My how-to? I used faux marble contact paper!  I know (pretty temporary) but I might purchase a glass top to cover it, or when it does start to peel (er, um melt), I'll just lay some new stuff!  (I was inspired by Catherine Therrien's project in April's Style at Home where she used washi tape). Laying it was super tricky and measuring it was worse, as anyone who has one of these tables knows, it's super heavy; so to flip over to trace out a nice circle was not going to happen.  But basically I just placed the paper (design face down) and then traced with a pencil the circle that way.  And then applied!  The paper I picked up (Grip-Tac) was pretty bubble proof so really no bubbles to be had, but the ones that did appear I popped with a pin.  And that was it.  My faux marble table top! (Psssst! I kind of want to marbelize everything now).
