The Cultivated Home

Summer is coming to an end and soon the beautiful colors from the flowers surrounding us will be replaced with the fading colors of the fall. Why not preserve the flora all year long though a new rug or lounge chair!

We are in love with Anthropologie’s new Arcadian Garden and Chatting Garden tufted rugs.  Filled with whimsical floral patterns and reasonably priced from $88.00-$998.00, you can easily add color and pattern to any room in your home.

If a new lounge chair is more your style the Lulu Chair from Urban Outfitter’s is a perfect fit. Available in 4 great color patterns this Mid-Century inspired chair makes it easy for you to update a room and keep the flowers of summer alive all year round.

Ovando has a motto, “simple, not simplistic.” And this could not be more true. Ovando is a high-end florist located on Bleecker Street in the West Village, and is the most inventive flower store in the city. They move away from the overly ornate and packed bouquets and arrangements commonly found, and offer imaginative and modern flower arrangements appealing to those who claim they are “allergic” to flowers. They use unusual flowers like cacti, succulents and unplanted orchids in their designs, each placed in simple and inoffensive glass vases.

Ovando offers a variety of services, from individual deliveries to weekly orders and maintenance, window installations to full wedding decorations. Truly, we can think of nothing more elegant then getting a thank-you bouquet from here. We would really know you meant it. Take a look at their store at 337 Bleecker Street .
