Sharing Our Spaces with You...& Some Secrets Too!

A thought came to me the other day...
wouldn't it be fun to randomly feature spaces and places that are
"real"
from all of us at Grandiflora?
So, I went ahead and started planning for it....
Honestly, it's a pretty simple idea.
Head out with the store camera, and wander around the
Grandifora Girls'
homes and personal spaces snapping photos of what it is we really live like.
Wouldn't you like that?
Whilst I was pondering all these thoughts, and how I would begin such a feat...
to share my home in her publication.

I was floored and honored to be asked....and have been working on it ever since!
So,
I encourage you to head on over to check out her
to see what I've been up to all winter!
You can see how I live on a very tight budget whilst decorating with hardwork, elbow grease and heaps of creativity (and an abandoned sense of decorating rules too! :)
But,
Heather couldn't fit all the "rooms" in my home into her fab e-zine...
so...
I've decided to share a sneaky peaky of my own personal bathroom
You'll notice how I've taken flea market finds, mixed them with items from nature, and added a bunch of Grandiflora Goodness
to make a refreshing bathroom for my family of 4.
I encourage you to rethink what decorating looks like for you.
It's amazing what you can do with just a few new things from your favorite shop:
( yep...insert Grandiflora here! ;)
and some imagination.
We hope that our store inspires you....and that we are providing all the right goodies to help you in your decorating adventure too!
We know times are tight....and we realize you have to work with what you already have...
& that's why there are
B I G
changes coming to Grandiflora in the near future...so stay tuned for emails heading your way soon!
In the mean time....
I'll be trying to weasel my way into some of the other gals' homes who work here to get some
sneaky peaks into their personal decorating styles!
This might be harder than I think....
but I promise to deliver the goods at some point in the near future!
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter Spring Break week!
Cheerio!

We're Blown Away by Blue!

Have you noticed a huge comeback in the color blue?
Obviously aqua and turquoise have been making a comeback for quite some time now.
I believe we started carrying the watery hue about 5 years ago now...
however,
we are seeing even more blue coming onto the scene!
Inky dark indigo, french danube blue, navy, pale powder blue, peacock teal & neon blue too!
What could this mean for the shelves of Grandiflora?
All we can say is that summer is coming....and we are craving more blue for you!
:)
For now, we are enjoying that ever popular
Spring hue of Robin's Egg Blue.
***
Have you decorated for Easter yet?
It's just around the corner you know.
Come in soon to check out the lovely Spring goodies we've hunted down just for you.
***
We're also excited to be announcing some new
CHANGES SOON!
Stay tuned for an announcement from us as we continue to grow Grandiflora
 to better serve your needs.
We just love our customers & want to bring you more of what you want.
Remember, we are always open to your comments and suggestions.
Feel free to email us here:
We look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Spring!!!

Spring's Here & Moving Quickly

One thing we tell people when they come in and shop at our brick and mortar store
Grandiflora
 is:
"Don't wait too long in between visits."
We literally have new shipments coming in daily, and our girls are always working on getting the items out as soon as they can.
We have shoppers that frequent the store regularly & frankly....
they are the ones who always score the best
FUN FINDS.
:)
Consistancy
always finds the best selection at
Grandiflora.
We carry small quantities in a really big way;
don't miss out on all the new
Spring Decor...

You won't want to wait too long to get in here...
it's moving quickly.
Wouldn't want you to miss out.
