Table Lamps get Fancy

Table lamps have changed over the past few years. Perfect for drawing the eye to the finer details, a unique table lamp provides a welcome finishing touch in any interior setting. Whether ideal for reading in the living room or relaxing in the bedroom.

They range from the classic to the whimsical creating patterns on the wall and ceiling, from industrial to minimalist and from those meant for the study to those for the nightstand.

Crazy Homes

Some people like to go against the flow of a normal house! I like the house which the front porch tips up and becomes a garage and the mirror house. Some my call them crazy homes!

Marvel of Peru

Another one of my favorite flowers are blooming now: Four o’clocks or Marvel of Peru. It is an unusual plant, in that it may produce flowers of different colors on the same plant—including white, yellow, and a variety of pink, red, and magenta colors. Individual flowers may also feature a mixture of colors. The plant can be expected to bloom from mid-summer all the way until frost.

They typically bloom in the late afternoon, from about 4:00 to 8:00 pm, although on cloudy days they may not close at all. Since four o’clocks bloom in the evening, plant them where you’re sure to see them and catch a whiff of their fragrance. They mingle and grow through other plants nicely, making a nice underplanting. Hummingbirds will visit your garden because they are attracted to four o’ clock’s tubular flowers.
