An artistic floral arrangement can have a truly transformative effect on an interior, and Susan Swanson, owner of The Green Door in East Greenwich, R.I., specializes in everlasting versions. Using only the most realistic and botanically correct elements, she creates wreaths, baskets and table arrangements that range in style from lush and romantic to coastal and seasonal. Here, she mixes white orchids and onion bulbs with real shells in faux water. 130 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI, 401-885-0510
