container<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Yesterday we explored flowers on your kitchen window sill, but maybe you don&#8217;t have a good sill for flowers. \u00a0No worries, you can add flowers to your kitchen counter or island using a coffee container. <a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC05586.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large

arrangement was made using a few grocery store flowers (3 bunches for $10), and I placed it in an unused ceramic coffee container. \u00a0You can see the measuring spoon still attached to the front.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC055801.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-120\"

container and filled it with water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC055811.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large

greens.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC05582.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-122\"

the lip of the container and facing towards the front.<a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC05593.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

\/><\/a>Then I just filled in with the remainder flowers, placing\u00a0the taller line flowers near the back and rounder\/mass shaped flowers in the center.<\/p>\n<p><a

arrangement&#8230;perfect for my kitchen island.<\/p>\n<p>So look around your kitchen\u00a0and see if you can repurpose a container into a vase, insert some fresh flowers and enjoy the show all week long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a title=\"31 Days of Decorating With Flowers\" href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/?page_id=1875\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
