In the spring I did a post about bringing the outside inside. At the time, my forsythias were in bloom and I trimmed a few braches, brought them inside and put them on the dining table. Now that it's summer, I trim a few blades of my ornamental grasses and bring inside on a weekly basis.
And, here it was in the spring.
It's simple and looks striking. I'm a big fan of bringing clippings in from the yard...you too? Enjoy your weekend!
I love using the yard cuttings as cut material. Much more creative than buying a bunch of boring whatevers at the store.
ReplyDeleteBetween the hostas and Japanese maple trees, also try herbs and veggies. Fennel and dill have pretty foliage.
Your house looks lovely, Lisa!
I have oakleaf hydrangea in a beautiful chinoiserie vase in our sunroom. It looks beautiful. Love your grass. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI just brought in some pieces of fern today for my bathroom. I have to have live plants or flowers inside, it is kind of a requirement to my happiness,hehe. Have a wonderful long weekend with your precious family sweet friend,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteOh, wonderful, I LOVE forsythia! I agree, a live plant adds a great pop of color inside. Also, you should check my post for today, CLEARLY you and I were on the same page, isn't it funny when that happens?
ReplyDeleteI love forsythia and have a lot in our yard ~ I know what I'm doing next time they are in bloom! Gorgeous. xo
ReplyDeleteOh that looks absolutely gorgeous! It brings such beautiful warmth to the space. I always buy flowers for my apartment for that same reason. How lovely that you have such beauty right there in your yard.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm headed out to the island this morning for a bbq. It looks a bit cloudy out now but I think it's going to be a wonderful day :)
Oh and thanks for asking about what I do...Basically I come up with ideas for beauty products and work with a lab to develop formulas directing them on what I want the formula to look like, taste like, feel like, smell like, etc. It's an arm of marketing...I'm kind of a bridge between marketing and r&d. I've worked for a bunch of companies in my career...Revlon, Bath & Body Works, Maybelline and a lot of other brands. It's a fun job...I basically get to play with makeup all day. My little girl dreams came true :)
Enjoy the weekend!

Looks perfect, Lisa! So simple and striking. That deck is calling to me :)
ReplyDeleteI love the texture it adds to the room. I've always liked the look of ornamental grasses in a garden but never thought of bringing them indoors.
ReplyDeleteI love to bring things inside in the fall. the acorns, pinecones and leaves. So beautiful and simple.
ReplyDeleteHave a pretty day,
Kristin
