(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best artificial flowers

Oh god that potato gif is rather unsettling!

In my dreams - bangin blue Birkenstocks because the blue colour just rocks my world for some reason. Although I would probably spend all day looking at my feet and bump into something, so maybe not a good idea :P

Within reason - this Hello Kitty breakfast tray because living alone it's so easy to become lazy and so I take great pleasure in making myself beautifully presented drinks and meals and would love a cute tray to eat off.

I love these fake flowers for the same reason I know it's "trashy" or whatever but I dream of my tiny apartment overflowing with bright bunches of fake flowers in jugs and watering cans and vases on every surface like something out of a novel.

Thanks for the contest!

Here's the link for the ones I ended up using!

White and Purple Calla Lilies


And this is another brand that was just as nice but the colors didn't end up working out. Just returned them for free through Kohl's!
Teal and Other Colors


I don't have all my pictures back yet, but here's a couple so you have an idea of how they looked! Also! These have wired stems which made them SO easy to mold and arrange as best as I could!

I have a request not for my own father, but for someone elses.

I lost my father fairly suddenly as well, approaching five years ago. He was a man of science and loved (and taught) Astronomy, but he was partial to a specific selection of music. Most notably, Glenn Yarbrough. For those unfamiliar with the name, he did the music for the animated version of "The Hobbit" from the 70's. Remember "The Greatest Adventure"? That was Glenn.

Sadly, Glenn is currently suffering from advanced dementia and is in Hospice care. His daughter Holly has been by his side and has been caring for him around the clock. I would like to request something for them, in memory of my own father, and for Holly during this most difficult time.

It depends on what color you prefer and matches

I think a nice Blue like this or an Orange like this fits the job nicely.

Personally once my family moves i plan on using this Hoping my interior design looks good considering id like to have this as a sort of skill before I go into college and then start living on my own and stuff

EDIT: Fixed the links

I don’t know what your budget is, but they have these cool fall garlands you can get at most home decor and craft stores that look like autumn leaves. They come in a couple different colours.
They also vary in price and quality.

Also just traditional old pumpkins. You can’t go wrong with them. Even if don’t have the desire or time to carve them, they can look just as nice lining your front door on their own.

Another inexpensive and family friendly decor idea is seasonal window stickers! When I was a little kid my mom had a set of these things for every season.
They have more generic autumn themed ones that you can use for thanksgiving as well.

The amazon links I gave you are Canadian though, so just a heads up if you’re browsing through stuff on there. You should be able to find the same kinds of things in your local stores too though.

I know you already have a florist but have you looked into silk calla lilies? I'm using purple and white calla lilies and silk arrangements are much cheaper. They also last forever so can be ordered early and kept as keep sakes.

There are lots of sites for them but here are ones I found with good reviews:

My large cascade bridal bouquet with purple, lavender, and white roses. Also including white calla lilies and roses with a boutonniere:

Amazon:

[Purple & Lavender Cascading Bridal Bouquet with roses and calla lilies: $55]
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWGF6NU/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ACSZZXVQ8ZU60)


Light Purple Lilies; 20 heads: $21

Mini White & Purple Lilies; 10 heads: $10

Purple calla lilies from afloral.com (10% off your first order if you fill out the pop up with your email address):

Dark purple calla lilies; 12 heads $19

Light purple calla lilies; 12 heads for $19

Either way, happy planning! Purple calla lilies are stunning.

Sorry guys I'm new to reddit and had to look up how to share multiple photos at once 😂

Here's photos of the back and the progress I made! The flowers come with long wire stems so I'm basically wrapping and weaving each stem through. The hydrangeas dont have anything so I use garden ties to attach them securely https://imgur.com/a/pSvSghI

I got the flowers here on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017U0CO06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oXzNBbZ1F4ZTM some colors are more expensive but 100 white roses are roughly $50.

With the little math I retained from high school I'm estimating I'll need 830 flowers 😬 definitely a labor of love which is why I'm starting it 3.5 months from the wedding!

Here’s what I would do:

Cozy:

• add a bed skirt. Trust me, it will make a huge difference
  
• add a big rug (a few feet smaller than the size of the room).
  
• add some real or fake plants
  
• add some real or fake flowers
  
• add a full length mirror.
  
• hang up your artwork.
  
• add some floating shelves with some “cozy” knickknacks (e.g. a salt lamp)
  
• put some throw pillows on your bed.
  
• hang some curtains, ditch the blinds
  
• add a beautiful floor lamp
  
• add a bed canopy/net
  
  Functional:
  
• it looks like you have a yoga mat in the corner. Why not set up a little yoga/meditation area? Complete with candles and floor cushions
  
• add an ottoman to the foot of your bed (storage + seating)
  
• add a basket to store extra blankets and pillows
  
• add a bookshelf. Fill with books.
  
• if you work from home, maybe put in a desk?
  
• rearrange the furniture and add some accent chairs
  
  

It actually is. Basic Royal Kludge RK61 with some various keycaps I had from other builds.

$40 for a wireless (Bluetooth) clicky mechanical that feels good to type on - plus one that has a simple backlight with different lighting modes was just the deal for me, as the most duty this bad boy sees is controlling the PC I have running on my living room TV. Probably going to make another one for the Surface Pro I use for DMing DnD campaigns.

EDIT:

Since there's some interest in this, here are the exact pieces I used for this setup and links to buy them:

-Keycap Set 1 - Almost Everything

-Keycap Set 2 - Blank Green Shift Keys

-Base Keyboard Model

-Mouse

-Mousepad

-Bluetooth Adapter for PC


BONUS:

-It's not the one I have, but here's a cool artificial succulent

That one, yes.


Here's one already assembled.

A few options I found with a quick web search. I'm not sure what your budget is, nor am I sure how much shipping or anything will be, but you might be able to find something after all. Good luck!
