spring in bloom

One of my favorite things about Spring is when the flowers begin to bloom.  Fresh flowers can make a whole room just GLOW.  That’s why it’s no secret that flowers are used for big events like weddings and parties, home staging to entice potential home buyers, and for photo shoots for your favorite magazine.  They make us feel happy inside and loved.

One of my favorite are big garden roses, like pictured above.

And peonies.  Oh I’m a fool for peonies!

FLOWERS IN LIVING SPACES

White or cream flowers can have a sophisticated effect.

Brightly colored flowers add excitement.

Using flowers that color coordinate in the room reinforces the scheme, helping the space feel more uniform and orderly.

Gorgeous table setting. (Also a huge fan of the EAT napkins!)

A few large blooms in bud vases can be more powerful than a huge bouquet.

These flowers pull out the pink in the bedding and make it pop!

Happy Friday! 🙂

first post jitters!

EEEEEEEEE!!!!!

My very first post….!

Well I’m very excited to have started this, because it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, but never made the time to do.   I expect it to be a crazy concoction of interior design + local flair + a life journal.  I hope it can help to inspire, give useful information, and encourage people to get out and enjoy life….. because ah, life is too short!

The words Vim & Vintage just flowed so well together.  And perfectly describe the concept of what I believe life is all about:  the balance of appreciating the past and fusing it with the enthusiasm of the present and modern.   One day I hope to own a design studio that encompasses these values.  Until then, you will at least be (hopefully) entertained with the day-to-day struggles, thoughts, and vision of a young designer.

At any rate, I actually sat down and created it so now I’m married to it.  What an exciting new adventure!
