A flower can say it all

There's something so refreshing about tulips. It could be their vibrant colours peppered around the cities, indicating that Spring is officially underway. It could be that each of their colours represent a beautiful symbolism that, upon receiving a tulip, could say more than any words could reveal.




It could mean that you just want to put a smile on someone's face, but don't quite know how to do it.

We've put our condo on the market yesterday as we are moving more North and out of the busy city life of rattling trucks, shrieking sirens and bustling buses. I decided to put a flower theme for each room. Just to tell a story and give the potential buyers a chance to portray their own story.

I put the yellow tulips in our living room. I love the freshness and cheerfulness that it portrays. Our place was full of happiness as my daughter spent her first two years here. There's an overwhelming sense of attachment to this place. It's my daughter's first home and although that may not mean much to my daughter now, I do find every "first" that she has to be special. Okay, scratch that - not every first. I could go without her first reflux spell..her first cold..her first vaccination..oh. shudder.


I went with intimacy with our bedroom. I wanted to invite a coziness and sense of warmth. Roses. Roses are breathtakingly beautiful and extremely intimate. They are the ultimate indulgence of flowers. Roses are meant for the special occasions and for the words that you find yourself fumbling for. Or may be it's not the words you're looking for ..winkwinknudgenudge


Finally, I went with a lily for our TV area. I find them so irresistible and fragrant. They're so casual without being overbearingly so.


I really may just dump all the flowers in the trash if we don't sell the place by the end of the week! I'm quite low on patience, you see.......
