pretty peonies

June 28, 2011 by Ella

Love them. They are so delicate and pretty and the fragrance just sweeps me off my feet…

You may have noticed on my post yesterday, I had a little peony bouquet on the breakfast table. Those were brought in fresh by my husband on the big anniversary day ;)  Score! How did he know that would make me happy? They certainly are special, they were in my bridal bouquet after all – and since then, especially, they are magical.

Well, the peony craziness continued around the house, filling up the rooms with the most beautiful aroma. Ahhhh….. I just wish they lasted forever….
I picked up this cool vintage/ rustic milk bottle carrier at a local shop, and since then, I never run out of ideas on what to put in there. This time, of course huge buds of peonies poured out of recycled juice bottles.

The look: a rustic, modern and chic centrepiece.

And a little  bouquet went into the living room also, of course.Now you get a glimpse of my new sofa! The re-decorating is coming along…. I’m just stuck on the wall frames – but that is a whole other post ;)

Have a lovely day everyone. Thanks for stopping by ;) xo

    Ok. I am officially on the look out for an old milk bottle carrier. LOVE the look of the flowers in each of those bottles. ~sigh~ And the pretty little pops of pink peonies all around your house is dreamy! :)

    Love peonies! My mother in law has some and I can never resist shoving my face in them to take a big ole’ whif of their lovely scent. The color and texture of your couch is awesome! I love the chaise at the end. Where did you get it at again? I thought you mentioned it before but can’t remember.

      Thanks Ashley.
      Oh you may have a hard time getting this couch ;)
      It’s up from Quebec I believe.
      From http://www.mobilia.ca/
      We absolutely love it. It has a woven linen texture and colour.
