Glass Class Part III

So I am on a Pottery Barn kick these days and I love this idea for Fall, but really for anytime... and I especially have it in my plans for Christmas.

And if you have seen my previous posts, I adore using glass as a staple for decor.

The great thing about this is that glassware of all kinds can be found by the hundreds at any local thrift store. Not only are they using candle holders but they have stacked some with glass plates and some glass bottles. I really think this is a totally achievable look!

I love the twinkling feel of all the glass but it also has such a homey feeling. There is such a sweet and simple elegance to this style. And it is also just so interesting to look at.

I will do a tutorial on this design idea soon!

Aside from the cloche's big glass jars are another way to incorporate a showcase into your decor.

This design incorporates the designer's wedding shoes into a large glass jar. She loved them so much she wanted to display them in a chic way. Now she has a beautiful token to remember her wedding by. Even if you don't want to display a pair of shoes, we all own something that is wearable that doesn't deserve to be kept in a closet, like a great clutch you splurged on or a vintage hat. Fashion is art and it should be displayed!

In this design, the Large glass jar is used as a vase but these even look good empty!

One of my favorite things to look for are unique glass containers or jars and especially cloche's. Cloches were originally used on farms in Europe to protect seedling plants from dying in a frost. Not are they still good for their original use, but they are great for using in your everyday decor!

The great thing about using glass in your decor is that it is so versatile. In the summer you can add a collection of shells that you gathered on the beach, in the fall you can make a display of school photos or leaves, winter you can use holiday decor, and spring you can display sprawling greenery or fresh blossoms. In one of my cloche's I keep a birds nest almost year round, but on Halloween I replace it with bloody eyeballs, or at Christmas a small Christmas tree.
