Flower-related businesses experience ups and downs during pandemic | Business Observer

You can’t underestimate the power of flowers to cheer people up, even in a pandemic. “It’s thoughtful, it’s refreshing, it’s something bright, natural and healthy,” says Jeff Gordon, the owner of Sarasota-based Suncoast Florist. “A number of our local customers comment that you just want something bright and fresh in your home.” As more people choose to spruce up their houses or the houses of friends and family members with flower arrangements, some flower-related businesses in the area have gotten a boost during portions of the pandemic. But recent months haven’t all been rosy — florists have seen their share of sales fluctuations. Plus there are new precautions to take when delivering flowers to homes, hospitals, assisted-living facilities and other locations. Thr...

Artificial plants and flowers for home decor

Now that everyone is spending more time indoors, faux plants that truly look real can add a touch of nature to your space, minus the upkeep. After all, some people love the look of plants in their home but seriously lack a green thumb. Others love to change things up and decorate seasonally, so they hesitate to commit to living plants, which generally have to be cared for all year. Either way, carefully selected faux plants and flowers give you all the highs of having a home with greenery without the lows of having to worry about watering, fertilizing or moving it around to ensure it gets enough sunlight. © Home Depot Nearly Natural Mix Greens Artificial Plant in Planter © Amazon MyGift Set of 3 Artificial Plants When selecting faux plants and flowers for your home, l...

Woman turns house into 1970s-style shrine

Watch: Mum turns her home into 1970’s by only buying second-hand interiorsWhen it comes to interiors trends, the 1970s aesthetic will always divide opinion.Some describe decor from the disco years as eclectic – filled with bright colours and mismatched accessories, but others find the linoleum floors and wood panelled walls a bit tacky. One woman, though, has fully embraced the 1970s vibe and has transformed her entire home into a tribute to the era. Estelle Bilson, 43, has spent the past five years collecting a mix of vintage pieces from auctions, charity shops and eBay. The results are pretty impressive. Estelle Bilson's home is a colourful mix of 1970s nostalgia. (SWNS)MoreBilson’s love of all things retro was taken to the next level when she moved into her Greater Manchester three-bed ...

Wisconsin farmer plants sunflower fields to provide a respite during this rough year

Everyone could use a little sunshine in their life right now, so a Wisconsin farmer decided that's what he was going to do, and planted more than 2 million sunflowers in his fields. © Courtesy Scott Thompson Thompson Strawberry Farm has been around for 70 years, but this is the first year it is decorated with sunflowers. Scott Thompson's family has been farming in Kenosha County for more than 70 years, and this is the first year that flowers are decorating the landscape.

Located just 10 miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin, in Bristol, Thompson Strawberry Farm is drawing people to a simpler family outing where they can picnic, wander fields of florals and take home a doze...

This Chic London Home Will Show You How to Mix Antiques and Modern Pieces

Photo credit: Mark RoperFrom ELLE DecorIt all started with wallpaper. For Australia-based interior designer Thomas Hamel and longtime clients from Perth looking to design their London pied-à-terre, the bonding began when Hamel first accompanied the wife to a de Gournay showroom in London. “It was like bringing a person into the best chocolate shop in the world,” Hamel says. “I was like, ‘You cannot lick the walls.’ She knew every single panel and which one had been featured in Vogue, which one was in Kate Moss’s house, and so forth.”From there, their creative collaboration took shape, leading to a Belgravia townhouse with contemporary bones, punches of pink and green, and—as promised—de Gournay prints in unexpected places.Photo credit: Mark RoperHamel, born in America and trained at Parish...

This Renovation Takes a French Flat From ’70s Spirit to Modern Minimalism

“I really like the wall of alcoves, as it adds character and it gives a vacation vibe to the apartment when the windows are open to the balcony,” confesses the owner, who enjoys the 129-square-foot alfresco space that offers views of the back gardens of the neighboring houses. “Having dinner outside in the summer is definitely a big plus.”BEFORE: The basic layout of the kitchen was fine but needed a jolt of color and modernity. AFTER: In the peacock blue and walnut kitchen, some pieces are by IKEA, and the cabinet doors are by Helsingö. Natural materials were used throughout. For example, the waxed concrete floor creates unity and fluidity throughout the whole apartment; the wooden logs at the entrance and on the legs of the dining room table are a reference to Japan; the birch plywood in ...

The resulting transformation achieves those goals while generously opening up the interior to the large exterior courtyard and bringing an abundance of natural light indoors.

The couple began strategizing how they would get a Publix cake to their new wedding location in Ben’s parents’ backyard in Minneapolis, Minnesota where family and friends would watch them wed live on Zoom. Since Publix locations only go as far up as Virginia, getting a fluffy buttercream cake over 1,600 miles north would pose ...
