Go ahead and start the hate because I am about to discuss a very heated topic.....in the design world anyway...... I mean we aren't talking health care here.
Faux flowers. Yep there I've actually said it.
Gulp
Sinful.
But before you slam down the computer and write me off as a complete nut job....thinking "what a fraud"....just take a minute and hear my side.
Yes...I totally agree that real is better than fake. I hear the sighs now.....whew! I can appreciate a pretty vase of flowers to perk up a corner or two.
But....Sometimes I am just too busy to keep up with that live bouquet and more often than not I look over and it is dead as a doornail and the water is so murky there is a slight swamp smell coming from it.
So....occasionally when I do an install I will use faux. One of the reasons is that my clients appreciate it cause then they don't have to worry about what to put there!
Like this guest bedroom at a second home.....
In my own bookshelves I used a faux fern on the left side.
And in my keeping area straight ahead
Another faux fern I used in my bathroom once when I was photographing for the ORC.
In my bedroom.....
When I staged my sister's guest room for another ORC I used this small faux succulent.
Some faux branches in the blue vase.....
I did these bookshelves using a faux succulent.
Faux fern again....
Small faux white flowers.....
My Homegood's loot recently.
So listen....here is a test......
"Flower questions for 500 Alex".....Things to do before a party?"
Ding....ding...ding......Change out faux flowers for real.
I had some time over the holiday and surfed the internet for some swell looking faux plants.
These had pretty containers....
I have read that many bloggers gave up and bought this fig tree from Pottery Barn.....I would put it in a larger container though.....just saying.
So are you on board....or do you have my picture on the back of a door throwing darts and mumbling what is she thinking.
Go on.....I can take it.
