Farmhouse French Friday Tip 12

By Anita 5 Comments

Today I’m revealing how I use glass bottles and jars. I love, love, love using vintage glass bottles in my home.

The bottles above are part of my Soft Surroundings collection CLICK HERE.

The jars don’t even have to be vintage to add a little je ne c’est quoi. The ones below are old though. Notice that the bottles come in lots of different shapes and sizes.

The blue bottles above are vintage. This beautiful vintage demijohn is oversized, and makes quite a statement.

I used inexpensive bottles from Ikea below.

Next is a collection of blue antique bottles.

You can even find cool lamps made from bottles like this one.

I even found a cloche/bottle combo (below). It’ a cloche and a bottle.

I use bottles all over my house. They add character without adding too much color or pattern to a room. They are timeless. They add detail, but because they are translucent, they don’t take up too much space visually.

    I love bottles, too – but I have trouble finding ways to decorate with them. I appreciate the inspiration.

    HI Anita,
    I too have a bottle thing, yet when I find great ones I tend to create with them and the. They are sold off in my etsy…I have held back on a few favorites though 🙂
    Love your collection, I will also add new with my old ones by collecting the mini sparking apple juice martinelli bottles, love the shape and long neck and allows me to use them in clusters for bud vases and parties and events like weddings with that euro-chic feel.

    Keep sharing all your beauty, I am often in awwww! With your accent pieces and backdrops like that French grey petite side table acting as a ladies desk and chair.
    Wow to all this beauty.

    Xx
    Dore
