Sight and Smell

I love wall pockets. What a treat to have "living" art hanging on the wall.

These are hanging on the wall of my bathroom. The humidity of the room is great for the flowers and the scent of the flowers is great for the purpose of the room.

I have four vases hanging in a row above my towel racks. (I got mine from Pottery Barn.) I pick up a pretty bunch of a single flower whenever I stumble across them. This week was tuberose, last week were amazing peonies from Trader Joe's.

The wall pockets are so easy to use. No arranging neccessary as the positioning on the wall naturally lines the flowers up for best presentation. I make it a point to not go overboard buying for these vases. It is just when something catches my eye. You'll notice I actually have four hanging up, but only two with flowers. The other two are filled with cinnamon bark that I use as a fragrant "placeholder". You can find that at your local asian supermarket for a few dollars, and it lasts forever.

So before you pick up that seascape that's on sale for $7 at TJMaxx, think about creating a living work of art that excites the eyes and the nose.
