Primitive and Proper

One of my twiggy candle holders that I made

Since I now live in the city, I've had to find clever ways to countrify my home. I have to keep it looking primitive and proper after all! When my husband and I were on our honeymoon, we found these awesome, locally made candle holders while we were staying in Whistler. They're made out of fallen trees. I love them. Those candle holders were the first inspiration for our place. I decided to get creative and start making some things of my own for around our place. Now every outing is an expedition to find natural inspiration for our home. Pinecones, tree bark, pebbles, twigs. They all have a place inside of our home. I'm slowly, and creatively finding more ways to bring the outdoors inside.

While my "outside space" in my condo is limited, I plan on making full use of the patio that I have. I don't care where you're living, having flowers is a must! My spring planters will have lavender, poppies, and sweet peas in them. All shades of pinks, and purples to bring in the new season. That way, all of my visitors will be able to spot our place, and let themselves in.
