Thursday Tip #6- simple centerpieces

Keep it simple...

Dinner parties can stress the budget.  I like to have simple arrangements for the table and that usually involves fresh flowers .  Rather than large bouquets which are tall and obstruct views, think about simple ways to use flowers or leaves in a repetition.

Hosta leaves are one of my favourites and I have lots to choose from in my garden.  I love the idea of massing different sizes and shapes of glasses/vases and submerging separate leaves in each one. 
The sunflower is a great choice for fall entertaining. If you don't have access to fresh sunflowers, there are realistic looking  artificial ones. The arrangement above works because of the meandering wave and colour variety.

Abby Abadi di duga lagi...

sumber: absolutelyabbyabadi.blogspot.com

Nampaknya impian Abby untuk bersama kekasih hatinya Zul Ariffin tak kesampaian. abby di duga lagi dan mungkin ada hikmah disebalik apa yg berlaku. Moga abby tabah dan lebih kuat demi anak-anak beliau...

                                             ********************************

     Sy sgt mghargai khadiran Zul dlm hidup sy. Sgt berterima kasih pdnya kerana sedikit sebyk dia mjadi 'penenang' pd Sy waktu2 Sy sgt2 memerlukan 'seseorg' 3 tahun dulu. Berani Sy katakan, hubungan ni berlaku mmg tanpa dirancang & tak disengajakan. Sy layan jer hati & perasaan Sy 3 tahun tu, smpai mmg nama 'X' Sy out teruslah, kira xde dlm senarai dah, hehe.. smpai tetibe, tak disangka2,  jd seriusss giler hubungan yg tak dirancang ni :) Ikutkan sebenarnya dr awal mgenali Zul, hati Sy selalu je berkata2.... Betulkah? ye ke ni? Bia betik? Bole ke gi jauh ni? huurrmmm... huhu.. tp, Sy jalan terus je sbb Sy mmg dah jatuh hati pd dia:P ooppss! hehe... kira Sy 'gamble' jelah pd hubungan ni :) Takut2, trauma2 pun, Sy redah jugak. Ada jugak peristiwa2 ngeri yg berlaku antara Sy & Zul, tp Sy abaikannn sbb..... SAYANGGG! ZZzzzZzzzzZz.. :)  dlm pd 'gamble tak gamble' tu, tup tup dah 3 tahun berlalu :D

sumber: absolutelyabbyabadi.blogspot.com

Sehingga ke saat Sy menaip utk entri ini, Sy mmg tak segan utk akui yg Sy mmg sayangkan dia. Sayanggg sgt2! huhu... Tp keadaan, masa, org2 tertentu, yg bweekk (:P) semualah.... nmpknya tak menyebelahi kami. Berat sgt Sy nk share kan hal ni sebenarnya, .... tp, takpelah..... Biar Zul happy dgn kehidupan dia skrg. Sebab apa kami tak buleh lg berdua, biar Sy simpan jer. Yg pasti, Sy tumpang gembira dgn apa yg dia ada :) Mungkin dia tak sedar yg Sy ni selalu ada di sebelah dia selama ni. :(

    Sy......... mmmm, di duga lagi...... Sedih mmg tak tergambar dgn kata2, tp Sy redha dgn ketentuan NYA..... Mungkin ada kesilapan Sy, yg Sy lakukan tanpa sedar sebelum ni, & skrg inilah balasan tuhan pd Sy. Sy terharu sebenarnya dgn doa dr semua yg mengharapkan kami bertemu jodoh sebelum ni, tp apakan daya......... Sy pun mengharap 'sesuatu yg terbaik' sebenarnya... tp INILAH TAKDIR SAYA :)

  Sy sedih........ sgt sedih utk terima 'kehilangan' ini.......... tp Sy takde kuasa utk ubah keadaan. Sy cuma nk org yg Sy sayang bahagia dgn apa yg dia mahukan. Insyallah, masa susahpun buleh jer cari Sy. :,)

It's all about scale

  In recent weeks I've spent quite a bit of time looking for coffee and end tables for clients.  Getting the style and size right to work with the rest of the furniture in the space takes quite a bit of juggling and an  understanding of standard  furniture sizes.

The standard height of a coffee table is between 16 - 18 inches, but some can be as high as 21 inches. How do you know which height to choose?

 Style at Home

The answer relates to the height of the sofa/ chair. I prefer to see the coffee table about the same height as the top of the chair cushion or one or two inches lower.  The length of a coffee table is usually about 2/3 the length of the sofa not including the arms. Don't forget that you need at least 18 inches (24 is optimal) of space for your legs between a coffee table and the sofa.

 The size  of your coffee table should work with your sofa and other furniture in your room. It should also work with the size of the room overall. Let's check this out.

How do you feel about the coffee table choice in this lovely room?  I would like to see something longer (remember the 2/3 the length of the sofa rule). This little beauty is having a difficult time holding her own with this sofa.

 DecorPad

The soft colour scheme and small scale furnishings  in this room  appear overwhelmed by this large, dark, and tall coffee table, but I really like the table.  Sometimes the weight of a table is influenced by the colour and material choice not just the overall dimensions.  Darker colours and solid woods tend to look more visually weighted.

Don’t forget the size of the room when thinking about scale. Glass tables work well in smaller rooms because they give the impression of lightness -  space is not blocked out.

 Even with two tables this room does not look over furnished.

Diana Rodriguez

If your room is spacious and/or the furniture is large in scale, choose heavier wood tables or ones with lots of  tiers or drawers.

This is a beautiful room with a colour scheme I'm partial to. Does the coffee table work for you?  I wouldn't want to try to place something on the table while sitting.  I'm such a stickler for function!
