Something I always made happen in all my homes? Fresh flowers. Nothing lifts the heart, the mood, the spirit like vases of flowers.
This weekend’s flowers in the Cove House South kitchen. Sunflowers in a blue and white vase are very much a signature look.White flowers in the living room. White flowers are always a theme.
Wandering through my files, here are are flowers in many homes over the years.

Hope you enjoy. I love the simplicity of the bouquets. Supermarket finds, cuttings from my gardens, or chanced upon the roadside, I think flowers are such an easy way to make yourself happy. Paired with my beloved blue and white collections, they elevate the entire room.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful women out there.
