Floristry studio

This is still very much a work in progress, but here's an update on my floristry studio. The last photo is my next project, and I've ordered a load more artificial flowers from ebay to carry on with it.

I'm still looking for some sort of cupboard or dresser as both a display area and for storage, but there's no rush for that. Oh and I still need a load more white hearts to fill up the wall! I love how it's coming along so far but I'm not going to be able to move out anytime soon because I've spent a lot of time and energy on this!

Flower wall

As part of my workshop redesign, I stumbled across the idea of a flower wall. These images, which are all from a Google image search, are all made up of loads and loads of paper flowers, all in varying sizes and designs. I absolutely love them! I'm not allowed to paint the walls of the workshop so this is a really great way to cover up some of the wood while also making the room more pretty and girly.

Only thing is...this looks like it takes absolutely forever to do! I'll post an update when I get started.

There's a good tutorial on how to make some of the flowers on this blog, and also a lovely post from a lady who did this for their wedding here.

Workshop redesign

I'm hoping to start a Diploma in Floristry in September, and my parents have said I can have the cabin at the bottom of the garden to use as a workshop. It was previously used by my brothers as a gym/game room so it's very masculine at the moment, but I'm sure it won't be long until it's all girly :)

The main problem is that I'm not allowed to paint anything, it has carpet and has been a bit of a dumping ground for odd furniture that doesn't fit in the house. The bench press is going to be the most difficult bit to work around but I'm hoping to get some sort of screen so I can tuck it away in a corner and hide it out of sight.
