A Day Filled with Wallflowers

I love how inspiration works. You never know what will spark a brilliant idea. Well in this case the work was already done. Someone was already subject of having an all sparking idea, and here I tried to recreate the magic. 

Last summer I came across a blog with an inspiring motivational picture. A picture of a room filled with columns of brightly colored flowers. Now of course I had to attempt to capture this beauty and apply it to my own life. Here is the picture I found about a year ago, on a blog I randomly came across:

Now isn't that something? What I really like about the set up is that they weren't afraid to show the tape that is holding the flowers to the wall. It gives it a humanistic sense of imperfection which I love. The contrast between the white walls and brightly colored flowers really tops it off. Right, time to stop staring and start mimicking. 

 

I hopped over to my local Michael's craft store and  bought about 20 bundles of fake spring flowers and a roll of blue duck tape. I spent about 25$ on fake flowers, which Which is not a purchase I commonly make. 

Next, I cut thin strips of duck tape, making sure there was a variety of thicknesses, so that it didn't look too perfect or symmetrical. Making                                                                                        .                                                         it perfectly imperfect. 

I found a good place on my wall and started the wall-flowering process. After I was done, I took the remaining flowers inside my blank vintage frames, as well as along the perimeter of my bay window. I love how it turned out.  Something so simple with amazing results.

 I know it isn't spring yet, but it sure does feel like it with all these flowers and the unusual February sun. I also added a picture of the "record store" part of my room. Records and record players always take a room from mundane to insane.

I hope you enjoyed this simple little project. It's the smaller things in life that make me happy. Try it out. You'll love it.
