Living gifts

Last weekend when my architect and a photographer came to take pictures for his portfolio and website and for the contractor's website as well, they brought along some flower arrangements and plants to 'stage' the rooms a little. It always helps to add these nice touches to a room. Look at any shelter magazine and you'll see what I mean...fresh flower arrangements, fresh produce on the kitchen counter, the odd personal touch like a sweater thrown haphazardly (but perfectly) over a chair, a newspaper folded to the crossword someone stopped in medias res...it's all to make the room feel more human and lived in. After their shoot I found out that Steve brought along a friend of his who's an interior decorator who's styled many a home. He was doing Steve a favor. As a thank your for giving them access to the apartment, they left the arrangements as a gift. It was nice to come home at the end of the weekend to find them (Thanks, Steve!) They've lasted a few days now.
