Decorator tables, those inexpensive circles of wood, can be easily dressed up with a lovely tablecloth, a lamp, a photograph in a wonderful frame and flowers or a plant to add greenery and life. When you're creating a display, think in groupings of three or five. An asymmetrical arrangement usually looks better and is easier to work with. You're not tackling the whole house, now. Give it some thought.
Instant gratification can be a real boost.
One of the best things about starting small is that the projects can usually be accomplished in an hour or so at most. Still, if you're a gardener, you already know the results of your effort and patience will be well worth it. It can often be very expensive to landscape a whole yard in one season. Tackle one flower bed a season, or just the lawn. The following year, you might plant one barrel, one container with the prettiest flowers you can find.
