Nesting Place is been doing a little decorating series on good or questionable fake flowers and plants in the house. She coined the term P.O.O.P.I.E (People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants In the Environment. )
She is asking bloggers to display their good or bad fake floral arrangements or flowers in their house. I am apparently a big fan of the fake floral arrangement because I have a lot in my house.
This is on our kitchen table and I love it. I knew it was perfect when I saw it at a local store.
I picked this little arrangement up and it goes great on my sofa table.
I made this one out of 50% off goodies at Hobby Lobby. (Apparently I'm a fan of green, red and feathers because that is what all of mine are made of)
This arrangement is on my dining room table. I got it at the same place as the one on my kitchen place right after we bought this house.
I went to a ladies retreat at my church a few years ago and a lady did a segment on decorating and she picked me to come up and help her make an arrangement and then she let me keep it. It's in my guest bathroom.
I love this little thing with all the feathers. It sits up on my entertainment center above the TV.What about you - do you like fake arrangements? Go over and see all the other people who either love them or hate them. We might get good ideas or "what not to do".

Okay, i love your jars on the sofa table? Kirklands? I enjoy your blog, too! Julie (IA)
Cute arrangements. I love the feathers!
Where did you get the 2 jars on your sofa table? I saw one like that from Southern Living at Home with a price tag of $80 or so. I really like them but couldn't see spending that kind of money on anything. LOL
I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in town! :(
love the one with the feathers and the fruity things- LOVE< LOVE LoVe it!
I LOVE the last one with the feathers, it would look great in my apartment!
I love that one on your sofa table the best and those jars, too, where did you get them, gorgeous!
Your lamp is so pretty, too, I love your style :)
So nice to meet you,
Bella
Can I just say that you are way too cute to be 22 weeks pregant....way too cute. :)Love your poopies!
LOVE your sofa table. The pears in the glass jars set it off beautifully!
Your floral arrangments are gorgeous, especially with the feathery bits! I love that series of prints on your dining room wall!!
Honestly, these are great looking arrangements. I have the exact one you have (that's sitting on your entertainment center). My arrangement is attached to a tile so that I can move it anywhere and right now it sits on an urn displayed on the bombe chest in the entry.
Very pretty stuff!
I've always admired your feathery arrangements when you've posted them on your blog. I think these are artificial done right!
Girl I feel so behind on decorating after seeing this!!!
WOW! I love it all~ you have beautiful taste and a beautiful home
I love fake flower arrangement, too. I love the table vignette in the third picture.
Love seeing all your displays. Congrats on your preg and your little girls. Girls are the best.
Those apples in the jars are fun! Love that idea. -Julia :-)
I think yours are beautiful, Kelly. I need you to come help me at my house!
Love the jars with the pears..love the feathers and well, I love them all! I like reds and greens too. Blessings, Nancy
All your arrangements look really really great! I don't feel like I'm good about putting things like that together though--they look great when other people do them, but I don't have many in my house--just a few plain green fake grasses coming out of vases here and there.
Yes, definitely needing ideas because I would buy out Michael's store but I have no idea where to go with what! Part of my problem is that we still live in a little condo and have no idea what our future house will look like so I don't have a theme or colors or anything, and I fear throwing away money on arrangements that may not work when we do buy a house. So I feel like we are kind of in limbo, but I'm sick of our place looking like a prison cell with no homeyness or personality.
Your arrangements are so beautiful!
I love that you use feathers in everything ;)! I had one fake arrangement at our old house but I have not put any out at the apt. I am just patiently waiting until we get into our new house!
I love all your arrangements!! It makes me want to go home and decorate! ; )
I gotta tell ya, I totally heart those apothocary jars!!!
Green with envy over here.
LOL
Love all your fakes!
And the red box with the black dots.
Oh so fabu!
Loved all the pictures! I do not have any arrangements right now.. in fact I don't have much decoration yet! I love looking at all the pictures and getting ideas! I just LOVE your blog! I love your week to week comparison with the fruit for baby Harper. So great! Thanks for sharing always!
Oh, how I wish you could help me put together some arrangements! Your home is beautiful!
I love all your arrangements.
I have been behind on my blog reading. Just wanted to say "Congratulations" on finding out that your little one is a girl. So excited for you.
if we want plants & flowers in our house, they have to be fake...Husby and I are allergic!
Beautiful! They are all just beautiful!!
I love all your arrangements! I really don't have any fake arrangements around my house. Maybe I'm afraid I will kill them like I do my outdoor plants!! haha! I could find a way to do it!
Your house is lovely. I think you did a great job on the Hobby Lobby fake! I'm all for fakes that look real. You pass the test:-)
Thanks for stopping by today!
They are all beautiful arrangements! Mine?...not so much. Maybe I should post a few of my shabby ones as examples of what NOT to do. A week or so ago I was reading her blog and came across the initial P.O.O.P.I.E. post and was laughing out loud! I'll have to get over there and catch up on the latest!
I say Just say No to all fake flowers. Sorry
I bring in fresh flowers whenever I have some growing outside. I love to do that... but I'm not a fan of fake. Probably b/c it'd just be one more thing to gather dust and I hate creating more work for myself.
BUT I think I'm about to change. My dining room table is just way too naked. It needs something.
Did anyone find out where the jars are from??
love your arrangements! fake or real, doesn't matter to me - with certain expections, of course - like weddings, etc.
however, with cats i prefer silk plants - otherwise they would eat everything and be sick all the time!
