Fill 'Er Up

I recently received a question from a reader, Lauren, regarding what to fill her new glass vase from Pottery Barn with.

For starters- what a beaut!  I love all things Mercury Glass right now.  

One of my first thoughts were flowers- I love to have fresh flowers in the house but their freshness is usually pretty short lived so I usually go faux.  I love hydrangeas and they're on sale right now at Pottery Barn!!

To make them look real use craft water- here's a pretty little how-to!

Maybe flowers aren't you thing?  I love river rocks with a pillar candle or just plain river rocks.

You can get them at most craft stores or I found them for cheap on this website.

If you're using your vase in a bathroom- collect some bars of soap to display.  (Hint- If you travel stash a few bars of soap from the hotel in your suitcase.  If you travel often you'll have a lovely collection in no time!)

And if you're looking for some serious color- candy is a great option

(this would last all of 5 days at my house)

Hope you got some good ideas for the glass vases and jars in your home!

  1. Great ideas Kelly! And that's pretty funny about the last option... I am afraid it would last even less time in my apartment, and I live alone :)
