Candles, Candles, Candles

Decorating your home with candles can be fun.


Cluster several candles on a shelf in front of a wall mirror, or use a small mirror as the candle tray. The mirror doubles the glow.


Place pillar candles in pretty bowls filled with greenery, nuts, fruit, or coffee beans. Try stacking two or more bowls for a tiered effect, perhaps tucking small flower sprig peaking out of the bottom bowl.

Tips - How to get the most from your candles. Place them in the refrigerator an hour before use, and they will burn longer.



The first time you burn a candle, always burn it for one hour for each inch of diameter, and you will avoid the hole in the middle, wick disappearing trick.










If you buy scented candles, always smell the bottom of the candle. If you only get a strong scent from the top, they have probably only been dipped in scent, and you will be disappointed.

Finally, if your candles smoke, trim the wick to a quarter inch before burning.

Gardening

If you have little or no space for a traditional garden, then container gardening is your best bet.


Container gardens can also be a charming way to embellish your patio, entryway or deck. Although container gardens generally require more watering and feeding, they are quite easy to maintain and care for.



Consider the style and color palette you are working with.



Small spaces can handle a lot of color creating interesting areas such as cobalt blue containers in one corner which can be a focal point and a great way to tone down hot color plants.




Tip - The only must for choosing your container is that it must have drainage holes. Another consideration when choosing your container is whether or not you need a container that can hold up to freezing temperatures. Soil expands when it freezes, so if you live in a cold climate, it’s best to choose a forgiving material, such as wood.







For a Mediterranean-style garden - terra cotta would be more appropriate.



With the increasing range of colors and styles of containers available today, sizable, stylish (and affordable!) containers are easy to find, so make the containers part of the grand scheme instead of just a place to plant.





Tip - It’s best to consider the space first and then decide on the plants and containers that will create the desired effect that suits your style and space. Experiment with clustering containers together. In larger containers, don’t be afraid to mix complimentary plants together in the same pot.
