It's summer, and we're having beautiful, warm summer days
here at FrenchGardenHouse.
In our FrenchGardenHouse garden,
the beautiful peach Polka rose is sending out it's last blooms.
It's a beautiful time of year to
WELCOME YOU TO MONDAY MORNING BLOOMS!
We've all put our favorite peach flowers together with
real summer peaches for some peachy inspiration!
Peach flowers are perfect for a lighter summer color palette at home.
Peach flowers come in such a beautiful range of shades,
from palest pink peach to deep peachy corals with apricot tones.
And who doesn't love summer peaches? Our farmer's market has the best ones!
On a side note, I'm really excited that our bathroom remodels are almost {!} done
and things are slowly getting back to normal here at home.
While out shopping for a petit armoire to hold our small television in the master bedroom
I spied a magnificent 18th century French Buffet duex Corps.
Way too grand and large for our bedroom. big. as in really big.
I walked away {it was a Friday.} And bought a small armoire for the master.
By very early Sunday morning I couldn't take it anymore and called the dealer
who opened his shop early for us so we could buy it!
And now it's in the living room. Still v e r y big.
But a large scale piece makes a statement in every interior, right??
I know, I know. This post is supposed to be about flowers.
So let's talk about this peach and apricot arrangement.
Using my clear floral tape, I made a big grid on the antique French wedding tureen.
The clippings from the bushes in the back garden went in first as a base to hold the flowers.
Then I inserted the apricot peach roses one by one.
And added the sweet light peach carnation sprays all around.
I placed the tureen on a peachy pink Florentine tray on the living room table.
Peaches in the glass bowl, on a stack of Charles Faudree design books.
I love it!
Thank you so much for joining me today for Monday Morning Blooms.
{And for humoring me about the new love I've found, the French Buffet Deux Corps.}

Dearest Mary, thank you. And yes, I’ll be blogging about the remodel in the future, it’s almost almost done! xo
Dear Lidy, So delighted for you getting the gorgeous armoire which fits so nicely in that space! you made a wonderful decision or you would still be pining for it! May we please see the remodel ?since we are going thru the same thing here…very noisy but the end is in sight?. Love and fleurs to you, xox,mary
Such a beautiful way to start the week with you and your friends! It is always a treat to see what you all have put together for our enjoyment! Thank you so much! Oh and your French Buffet Deux Corps is magnificent! No wonder you couldn’t resist. It looks perfect there, too!
Oh Lidy, just could not resist, right? I know the feeling…having a
large one here that I would have strapped upon my back to get it home..
lol….Be assured, it will be a part of your décor for years to come, so
strong was its appeal…Your flower arrangement is so soft and elegant
and set off so beautifully by the container and tray.
I don’t know which I adore more, the flowers are the armoire! I am drooling over both. And, the peaches have been delectable this year. Blessings
Hello, Lidy,
Just lovely, lovely, lovely, everything is just so sweet and inviting great idea’s and love the rose’s and color’s. Have a peach of a week~~~~~~~~~~
Bonjour, Jean~~~~~~~~~
Oh Lidy, your new armoire is so handsome and makes such a grand statement! You know a piece is right when you can’t let it go in your mind. Your peach and apricot arrangement is stunning too, served up in your tureen on your Florentine tray! I know you must be thrilled that your remodeling is almost complete. As always it’s a treat to join you and my flower loving friends for MMB. Happy Monday <3
Another beautiful edition of Monday Morning Blooms ladies! It never disappoints, thanks

Oh my goodness, the French Buffet Deux Corps shouted “fantastic” to me. Years ago I purchased an 18th century French buffet which looks similar to the bottom of your buffet, but is much longer (and doesn’t have a top). It sits in our living room and makes such an elegant statement…..congratulations to you for going back and purchasing something sooooo wonderful, that you fell in love with! When something so magnificent speaks to me I know that it belongs in our home. I was so taken by your recent purchase that I almost forgot the exquisite peach floral arrangement you shared, lovely as well.
Lidy I love your beautiful floral arrangement . I tend to love soft colors such as peach and light yellows planted in my summer garden. I also have another garden that I plant bright corals and whites together. I love when summer peaches are in season, they make such lovely decorator look when placed in a lovely bowl of blue and white. I have a room in the B&B that I I have decorated in Peach and Green tones, it is one of my guests favorite rooms.
Your French Buffet duex Corps.was a lovely find. It looks beautiful with your White French Chair next to it for contrast. You have such excellent taste in decorating. Enjoy the rest of the summer season.
