If you have been following my blog and other social media for the past 10 years, you will know that I am in love with this book.  There are over 200 pages filled with beautiful homes using flowers in the stunning interiors and gardens. There are also ideas and instruction on putting together lovely arrangements.

Margot Shaw is Editor-in-Chief of Flower magazine, so I wasn't surprised to see a full helping of beautiful here, including some of the most spectacular rooms serving as a backdrop for the flowers. This book is filled with everything that makes a house a home, from fine linens, rugs, draperies, antiques, and of course, the most breathtaking florals.

Below are several of the images included in Living Floral. ENJOY!

Bromberg's in Birmingham has the book in their Mountain Brook and The Summit stores. Just in time for Mother's Day!

I am in awe of all of the unique and beautiful pieces of furniture, art, the rugs and textiles, the accessories, and the houses that protect them. It was a wonderful tour pouring over the pages of Houses│Atelier AM.

Alexandra and Michael provide their clients with a home that full of one of a kind surroundings that match their personalities. Creating a masterpiece is the only way to describe it.

I have shared several images from the homes in the book.  I hope that you ENJOY them as much as I have and plan to continue to.

If you have plans for a swimming pool in your future or plan to update your present pool, SPLASH is the book for you.  It is a must-have!

I have never seen so many stunning designs and fresh ideas as the ones included in this book. There are infinity pools, cascading waterfall pools, and pools located in lush gardens and on the ocean. The designs and architecture surrounding these pools are breathtaking!

ENJOY!

Being a creative person myself, I was taken by this lovely book. Each page is a beautiful image of finished paper flowers or instruction on creating them. There are also 15 templates so that you can create your own arrangement.

You will be shown the process for curling petals, scoring and wiring leaves and wrapping stems. You will also see instruction on arranging these flowers.

I can't wait to create my own arrangement.  ENJOY!
