Create a Bottle Garden

Friday, August 27th, 2010

A simple, chic and colorful decorating accessory is a collection of vintage bottles (no more than 5) beautifully arranged on a window sill or side table. Anchor the setting with a tray or colorful place mat. Bottles of various shapes, but all one color scheme, makes such a statement. Scour second hand stores and you are sure to come up with a winning combination.

An old, worn window can be transformed into a pot rack for the kitchen by hanging it horizontally from the ceiling with strong hooks and chains. Select a sturdy window, remove all the glass, and reinforce the corners with flat, corner brackets. Install ceiling hooks on the underside of the window from which to hang pots.
