Remember there are health benefits to living plants indoors! Add some for the season that will last for a couple of months. Orchids and colanchos both last and the later can be moved outdoors, trimmed and they will reflower. The local nurseries have indoor plants and suggestions for your exposure. Local interior plantscape companies are great if you want to have more permanent installations that will thrive with your exposure.

Easter Tablescape
Happy Easter!
The genius and pleasure of tablescapes is that they don’t have to be elaborate or expensive. Since they are often holiday or event oriented, the pieces are used only once or twice a year for a short period. You don’t tire of them like the pink tile in the bathroom. Gather your favorite Easter keepsakes and assemble for a personal tabletop! Add candles or twinkle lights. Use the holiday plates and napkin holders. Include holiday candies. Dessert can be served on another set of heirloom plates to truly bask in family traditions!

- Hard-wired smoke alarms with battery back up.
