~ A few more Peonies ~


Hello! :)
I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far
I wanted to share with you a few more photos of my peonies in full bloom


I decided to do a new arrangement on my dining table



I found these pretty white flower pots at IKEA this past weekend
they were only $2.99 each
I love the lacy details around the rim of the pots
I decided to buy them in assorted sizes





I added a larger one to my old cabinet





I also have an extra large one that I might use for my kitchen utensils...just an idea
Aren't they darling?! ;)

Thanks so much for all of your sweet comments on my last two posts
I am trying to get around to all of your wonderful blogs and visit you too
Hugs,
Rachel

    Hi there!
    I LOVE the full shot of your rooms...it's exactly how I picture the perfect farmhouse. And a farmhouse is not complete without lots of peonies spread around. Love it all Rachel!

    Your new containters look great with the beautiful peony. I was able to cut a 'load' from some overflowing bushes and, like you, I'm enjoying them before they are gone.

    Your pictures are absolutely beautiful, Rachel!
    I love buff pink peonies. Mine are all blown, except for the white ones.
    I scrolled through the previous posts, and enjoyed everyone of them.

    You have to love IKEA and their incredible prices. These are so pretty and look wonderful with your peonies. I know you will find a lot of ways to use them!

    I'm still loving the peonies! I just knew you were going to say those pots were from ikea. Ours (an hour away) is opening July 27 and I can hardly wait!

    I love those lacy Ikea pots too. They are so pretty and they look perfect in your home. And have to say I LOVE the wood table amongst all the white in your home. It looks fantastic!

    You can never have too many peonies. Those pots are so pretty! I saw them in the Country Living magazine, but we don't have an IKEA near us. Boo hoo.
    Thanks for all these gorgeous photos!

    Rachel - your house is sooooo pretty! It has a very calm, relaxing, and sweet feel about it. ♥ Your peonies look adorable in those summery little vases. I'm with Andrea - I wish IKEA was closer to me, too. Ours is about a 3 hr drive away. Bummer!
