Let’s Paint the Town from Flowers Chic & Cheap |

April showers do indeed bring May flowers! And forget about fussy bouquets and ornate vases. All you need are a few blooms from your grocery store, or farmers’ market, a simple container—perhaps one found in at a garage sale or in your recycling bin or kitchen cabinet—and a touch of whimsy to pull it all together.
In Flowers Chic and Cheap, Elle Decor editor at large Carlos Mota shows how unexpected elements can make a style statement. For example, fill a vintage teapot with pink peonies and set it next to your bed; gather some ferns and an orange poppy in a colorful gift bag and call it a centerpiece; dress any entryway by loading a soup tureen with lemons and a few dusted-off leaves (picked from the backyard, of course).
Carlos also shares his tips for treasure hunting for vessels found in the most ordinary places. To him, a salsa jar is a vase for a dinner of Mexican take-out. Reused paint cans stuffed with any bouquet are one of the best wide-mouth vases around.
With short lists of what you’ll need and clear instructions for what to do, plus more than two hundred gorgeous color photographs by celebrated photographer William Waldron, Flowers Chic and Cheap gives you all the practical information—and inspiration—for sprucing up your place without making a fuss.

Photo manipulation is as old as photography itself, contrary to the idea of a photo having inherent verisimilitude. Though not obviously visible to human eyes, image manipulation can be detected by some sophisticated softwares, like Photoshopped Image Killer. Which tells you whether your image has been Photoshopped given the image or the image’s URL.
