Glory of the Snow

When we moved into our new house

we got a hanging pot of chionodoxa (also called Glory of the Snow)

to adorn our balcony.

With the advent of the rains we get to see

the blossoms aplenty.

Though these flowers are not

sturdy enough to be put into containers

I guess there's no harm in trying it out.

And so I did.

Now on my dining table...they don't look bad at all.

Point Click Home has some good ideas if you are thinking of doing up the kids' room.

Contemporary, modern, classic or eclectic?

Take your pick from these creatively designed rooms for your brood :)

My picks:

minimalistic and warm with pink tones

and this one for the wall with the maps

Mwah! And this one too

love the blues here and that whole logged feeling

The effervescent Bougainvillea

The ever effervescent bougainvillea

has always been a great choice for boundary walls, box gardens and flower arrangements.

These thorny vines of the paper flower bloom throughout the year and

is not fussy about everyday attention.

But these flowers do make a huge difference in your backyard, pots, decks, patios and courtyards.

This is a new online store that I discovered. They have some pretty neat stuff on home decor. Do check it out!

P.S. Slightly on the expensive side (after all it's silk).
