Creative Christmas...

 

This Christmas wreath is so easy to make at home with material from around the house.  Start with two wire coat hangers and cut off the hook part on both of them using wire cutters. Twist two of the ends together and bend the Wire into a circle. Cut hessian strips about 4cm x 30cm.

 

Thread the wire through the hessian folding the hessian back and forth as you go.

 

Keep threading until all the wire is covered.

 

 

Once all hessian is threaded on twist the remaining ends of wire together.

( Cute dog to help optional)

 

 

I finished my wreath off with a wooden heart from Serenity Nursery. I used organza ribbon to hang the wreath from my mirror. There are lots of beautiful Christmas decorations to choose from at Serenity Nursery. Use them in Christmas craft or to decorate your Christmas tree.

Perfect Pieces

Acid brights are still a main theme in our little stone wagon shed gift shop ( pictured above left). We have gift and home wares rolling in from Melbourne leading up to Christmas so now is the time to get the best pick. We have scarves in all the colours of the rainbow and

 oil cloth handbags in spots and florals.

 

Pretty pastels are another theme we have chosen and our powder pink, blue and white hanging hearts and garlands are a gorgeous decorative touch for the home...Mum found them on an overseas buying trip so they are truly unique to us...Enjoy.

 

PS. Love lavenders? pop in now for a huge offering, including the one pictured here!

Dome it.

 

We have been having fun "doming" things in the gift shop this week with our new delivery of gift ware and glass domes from Melbourne. We have domed cute little rabbits, books and

 things found in nature.

 

 Our black board in the garden centre is always inspiring.

Bright. Natural...and beautiful.

 

Pretty new floral wall arts, hand-made shell/ teak stools, pom pom through blankets and lots of cool new finds in the giftshop this week. See more at www.serenitynursery.com.au

Blue, green and all colours inbetween..

 

So a little trip away to Sydney has inspired me to revamp the gift shop.It's all about colour in your home and blue and green is one of my favourite combinations. 

What things do I love in this shot: The shell inlaid timber stools, the shabby chic hanging pendents, the fluro green and electric blue scarf and the mother in laws tongue plant. Indoor plants are big this season...stay tuned.

 

 

Pop in to our shop and you won't miss the brightly coloured owls. Owl cushions, doorstops and plush toys add a whimsical decorative touch to your home.

Hello Yellow!

So we have been on trend watch this week with a trip interstate and we have discovered

 a whole lot of colour.

There is no right or wrong colour combo. Be brave and mix things up.

...Pink teamed with yellow

Fluros with naturals...

We found yellow was a standout colour as was emerald green.

 Stay tuned to our new shop displays for a brightly coloured surprise.

 

Project with Pots..& faux plants...

 

So I've got the day off and finally have a few minutes up my sleeve to create this little project. I love indoor plants, and there are many available that are suited to low light conditions but this time I want to use artificial succulents in an arrangement. The style of pots are endless at Serenity Nursery from modern shiny ones to rustic metal. I have chosen heavy paper mache pots. I decided to group a cluster of artificial succulents for a natural/ earthy look.

 

I have used oasis to help hold the plants in place. there are two main types of oasis. The silver gritty foam type which is used in artificial arrangements ( see pic here)  and the green soft foam that holds water and living plants in place.

 

I have simply cut the oasis to fit snug into the pot and then begin to push the succulents into place. It's nice to combine different plant textures like the broad leaf and spiky type.

 

It comes together very quickly.



 

I love this faux greenery available in the gift shop. It's so handy for so many projects. I cut it up and push it in between the succulents to help hide the oasis. It looks real and natural.

 

I'm tucking the fine greenery in here. No need to glue down as it has wire fibres in it that help wrap it around the secure plants.

 

 



 

I love the finished pot displays. Great for those " Hard to Grow" spots in the house.

 

The display makes a cute little addition to my kitchen, well i think so.

 

Enjoy

Spring Green your home...

 

 

 

Morrocan Pouffe available at Serenity Nursery

Some interior style ideas using light green, cream and white to help bring "Spring" into your home. Using green this way lightens and brightens the home for Spring/Summer. Use Indoor plants or bring your outdoor plants inside for a short period. Try cut flowers like green hydrangeas or opt for all green foliage in a vase for an element of freshness.

Amazing Style Issue!

Wow! Our Teak Deer Head wall mount is featured in this months (August 2012) Real Living magazine- The amazing style issue!

Editor Deborah Bibby featured it in The Editors letter and said "The timber deer head is another classic and this piece is more affordable; in fact, it's a bargain buy! ( I hope that our finance whiz Mark Bouris is not reading this or I'm in trouble.)

Thanks Deborah. We love it when people see value in our items and their originality. We are Very happy and humbled to see one of our products in your magazine. xx
