Instant Decorating - Picture Perfect From Every Day with Rachael Ray October 2008 Ngoc Minh Ngo     October 2008 Fresh flowers get plenty of centerpiece play, but who has the time—or funds—to make a bouquet every time a friend drops by? Try this low-maintenance fill-in by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, whose new makeover book, How to Have Style ($30, Gotham), hits shelves this month. Print out pictures of flowers and butterflies, then clip them into a store-bought photo hanger and place in a flowerpot. Use bright buds to punch up a lunch, and black and white roses for nighttime cocktails. You can even quickly spray-paint a basic terra-cotta pot for a new look. When guests are gone, move the "arrangement" to a windowsill or coffee table.
