Every Spring I write about the Tulip Magnolia in my back yard. It fills the windows in the sunroom with pink blossoms. This Spring I decided to clip some of the branches with blooms and bring them inside.

I placed them into a large bowl on the ottoman in the sun room.

I changed out the pillows with images of garden benches. You can see the tulip magnolia through the window panes.

The bowl is resting on one of my vintage bread boards.

I like using the pottery bowl instead of a vase.

I layered a hide throw over the ottoman and rested the bowl on a bread board. Don't miss the repair on the bread board.

I had a few extra branches, so I wove them through the lattice on the front porch bench. It was just what the bench needed--a touch of Spring. They look just like a climbing vine.

Do you use branches as bouquets?
Would you use a bowl instead of a vase for flowers?
