Flowers in a home are like lipstick on my lips. 

I can go to the trouble of putting on make-up, but if I don't have my lipstick on, forget it.  I tend to look tired and not as bright as I would with lipstick. 

I feel the same way about flowers in a home.  There is something about a bouquet of fresh flowers in a room, a small posey here and there.  The house smells great and it looks bright and cheery..........
