flowersNothing says spring like fresh flowers. As we leave the cold and desolate winter behind us, there’s a sense of rebirth and rejuvenation as buds sprout forth on trees and flowers start to strut their beautiful blooms. In honour of this wonderful time of year (and of Mother’s Day, which is fast approaching), Pottery Barn is offering complimentary classes on Sunday April 26 and Sunday, May 3 called The Art of Botanical Arranging. (Check out our Flower Arranging section for more ideas!) Sounds like a fun way to spend a Sunday, maybe with mom, a sister, aunt or friend.

winter whites at west elm

by Natalie Bahadur
November 7th, 2008

When it comes to both fashion and decor, the fall and winter months are often a time for going dark. We tend to cast aside our bright, white, spring- and summer-coloured accessories and trade them in for warm, dark, cozy coloured ones. Light cottons make way for heavy wools and pastels step aside for charcoals and rusts. But when you think about it, what says winter more than white? These pure ceramic vases from West Elm are bright and inviting, and summon a feeling of crisp brisk winter days. There’s a real textural appeal to these and I love the contrast a cluster produces against a coloured wall.

Prices:
Woodland whites set: $59; Honeycomb cylinder vase: $29 each; Honeycomb bud vase: $9 each; Wood-grain planter: $29 each

Available at: West Elm, visit westelm.com for more information
