08 November 2007  a potted orchid = feel good luxe  when you
flip through the pages of any decorating magazine there is one
element in common in almost every featured home no matter what
the decor. whether traditional or modern, high-end or low, good
design, or not, they will, almost to a home, have fresh flowers
in them. to me, it's one of the most important design elements
of a room- flowers literally bring decor to life and animate the
other inorganic, static elements. next time you look at a photo
of a room in a magazine and think it looks cold or uninviting,
look closer-i'll bet there isn't a flower or plant in sight.now
the rich have florists deliver fresh flowers and plants
regularly to their homes, and in magazine photo shoots, a highly
paid stylist is in charge of all that, but here at maison21 we
have other things we'd rather spend our money on (like our
tchochtke shopping addiction) so we have to use our wits to get
that high-end look without resorting to a florist on-call or
adding on a greenhouse
