I am getting a 'tad' bit braver
at designing and creating my own floral arrangements.
Beginning in January 2015,
"Mr. Ed" and I started the renewal
of On Crooked Creektt's 1970's Ranch Style Home.

| January 2015 |
While we switched out some furniture
from the lower level Family Room up to the upper level Living Room (here),
I still was using the same art work and floral from the previous design.
Continuing with our 2015's Project #5 (here), came the change of paint color.
I absolutely adore Sherwin~Williams Sandbar hue in the upper level living areas!
A soft neutral taupe which changes from taupe~to grey~to green
depending on the time of day and the type of weather.

Once this paint went on, I knew I had to change out the art work
above the heirloom vintage sewing machine cabinet.
This print of snow~capped mountains and waterfall is one of my favorites.

While the faux Shasta Daisies and the blooming faux tree branches
worked from Spring~to~Summer, I wanted some Shades of White
that would work through On Crooked Creektt's entertaining Holiday schedule.

During the heat of Summer,
"Mr. Ed" and I found these Cherry Blossom stems, Magnolia Bush blossoms
and Curly Willow branches on a fantastic $ale at our local Kirklands.

My purchases were:
* Three Magnolia Bush Stems.
* Four Cherry Blossom Stems.
* Three Curly Willow Branches
I set up the card table in Studio One
and filled it with all the necessary floral pieces.
Next,
I had "Mr. Ed" remove the decorative cones from the wall.
I hung them using an "S" hook on the primitive cabinet door.
Then,
I began with filling the largest cone with the Curly Willow branch
and one of the Magnolia Stems.
Next,
I added the second Magnolia Bush stem and the second Curly Willow branch. . .
Followed by two of the Cherry blossom stems.
The largest cone contains:
Two Curly Willow branches.
Two Cherry Blossom stems
Two Magnolia Bush stems.
I followed the same procedure for the smaller of the decorative cones.
The smaller cone contains:
One Curly Willow branch.
One Cherry Blossom stem.
One Magnolia Bush stem.
Once "Mr. Ed" re~hung them on the Living Room wall,
I spread some of the Magnolia Bush blossoms to fill the void spaces in the cones.

I adore how the Shades of White compliment the art work
and will transition easily into On Crooked Creektt's
2015 Holiday color palette!
