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.}

Lidy, your Buffet is fabulous. So happy that you brought it home. You would have most likely been very upset in the long run if you hadn’t purchased it. Your arrangement is lovely. Happy day and week to you.
Such a pretty arrangement! I used to have Polka roses but they outgrew their spot – I need to find a new spot and plant some again. Nice wardrobe too!
Lidy, i love the nod to peaches this month and all the beautiful arrangements. thanks for sharing!
Lidy, you made a wise choice to buy that magnificent Buffet Deux Corps…it is perfect in its new home! Your peach flowers are so lovely in the beautiful antique urn. I agree with Jenna, I am a little distracted with your statement piece adorning your gorgeous room. Happy Monday, and it is always a joy to share MMB with my friends!

Your peach summer arrangement is just gorgeous Lidy, especially sitting on that incredible antique tray…but I must admit I was distracted by your new furniture purchase…it may be very large, but it looks like it was made for your room! Beautiful!!!
Lidy, I am using Bonnie’s words “your new French buffet is magnificent.” You had to have that. Your arrangement is so beautiful…perfect mix of color to go with bowl of peaches. I need to make a trip to the Farmer’s Market. Beautiful post Lidy. Happy Monday.
Lidy, your new antique French buffet is magnificent and I could not have resisted it either! It makes a wonderful statement in your room.

Your floral arrangement is breathtaking Lidy. Asking me what my favorite summer flower colour is… well.. like asking me what my favorite summer flower colour is lol. If I go by the colour I always gravitate to at the garden center it has got to be peachy blush shades. Have a beautiful day Lidy and thank you for sharing your new and old treasures.?
